RECREATIONAL SHOOTING
A crossbow is a ranged weapon using an elastic launching device similar to a bow; it consists of a bow-like assembly called a prod, mounted horizontally on a main frame called a tiller, which is hand-held in a similar fashion to the stock of a long gun. Crossbows shoot arrow-like projectiles called bolts or quarrels.
As the name suggests, match crossbow is an organized target shooting sport where participants use crossbows to shoot at a target placed 10 meters or 30 meters away. On the other hand, field crossbow typically refers to random hunting where a participant uses a crossbow to hunt for a game across the fields.
