What is the maximum effective range of crossbows in the world at present?

With the pulling force of four stones and six buckets and the working distance of 40cm, the composite bow can make the arrows of 20g/22g/24g get the initial velocity of 140 ~ 150 m/s respectively.

According to this length, the cross-sectional area must be reduced accordingly, and it is reasonable that the length/cross-sectional diameter ratio of the arrow is equal to or slightly thicker than that of the ordinary arrow. If it is as thick as an ordinary arrow, the air resistance will be too great, the speed will decay quickly and the range will be greatly shortened. Therefore, the arrow in the arm bow must be lighter.

Extended data:

The effective range is 300 ~ 400m, although the maximum range is 5000m m. Usually, the effective range of "refers to a rifle" is a stable range with guaranteed accuracy. Although the bullet can fly 5000m, the effective range is where it can be hit accurately. If you fly far, you will deviate from the trajectory.

Generally, the accuracy range of domestic crossbows is only about 20 meters, and top experts can shoot cigarette cases with domestic crossbows at a distance of more than 20 meters. The longest range should belong to foreign "Arthur", and the precision range will not exceed 100 meters. After all, crossbows are not guns, and the manual winding method determines that crossbows cannot be compared with guns. The shooting of military crossbows has an arc beyond a certain distance. Generally speaking, the accuracy range of military crossbows in reality is190 m-200 m.
