Crossbows are much older than you think:

Saying that, you’re free to play as you prefer, what’s the point of playing if you don’t enjoy it? I personally never play with bows myself.
Yeah, it's not a conceptually big leap to go from bows to "why don't we put in a stick to keep the bow drawn rather than doing it ourselves?". Crossbows can be more complex than that, but fundamentally that's the concept.

I can still hear the music from this game in my head.
