What is the advantage of a reverse draw crossbow?
The biggest advantage of reverse-draw limbs is the increased power stroke. Generally, crossbows require a heavier draw weight to shoot faster. However, a reverse-draw crossbow allows you to start drawing the string from in front of the limbs, cable and riser, giving it more room to travel down the rail.
Is a reverse crossbow better?
Reverse-draw crossbows are more “energy-efficient” than forward draw crossbows. This means that, after the arrow has left the flight rail, there is less energy left over to be dissipated by the crossbow parts, meaning there is less vibration after the shot. Less vibration means the shot will be quieter.
Who invented the reverse crossbow?
