  • crossbows

     

    THE CROSSBOW: 
    The need was the one who created this weapon is that the war required a more powerful bow, able to pierce the metal getting better protection of the knights. The solutions passing through the compound bow or longbow but technical difficulties and construction of the first ten or fifteen years required to train a competent goalkeeper for the second, favored finding an alternative. Thus, the solution was the crossbow. 




    Appears at about the tenth century, in the siege warfare in northern France and quickly spread to Europe. Perhaps the Normans and used it in 1066, wowing the Byzantines in 1096 that he knows nothing about this weapon. 

    Early medieval crossbows were very primitive artifacts. Arch support is strained, simple type, on the floor and holding it with his feet, while with both hands pulled the rope to hold it in the notch of a primitive form of trigger lever pushing the rope, freeingIn the second half of the twelfth century, crossbows were powerful enough so that they could tighten by hand, which had to be introduced the stirrup, one piece attached to the carriage in which was inserted to hold the foot the arc. Then came mechanical systems to tighten the string based on the principle of the lathe. 


       


    Moreover, the crossbow was considered an artifact for sissies.The aristocratic contempt for the gun powered remote reaches of the Renaissance and the Empire while the Church tried to ban its use, its power and ease of use made it from spreading throughout Europe in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. 

    Thus, it is noted that the crossbow was normally used by mercenaries, often from Italy, where he came from the yew was considered the most appropriate for the construction of the arches, but identifies five types of wood for its completion. 

    Another advantage of the crossbow is found in their shells, used as darts (bolts, crew) shorter, solid pyramid head that were cheaper and perforating. The metal yard dart could penetrate armor inaccessible for an archer. 

    However, its disadvantage lay in the long time required to load, which was often needed the assistance of a squire carrying a light shield to protect the archer as he laboriously reloaded his gun at a rate of about two to four shots per minute, compared to ten or fifteen of an expert archer. And despite popular belief, the scope of a crossbow was not superior to that of a longbow or compound bow good but as we say, with more drilling capacity.Crossbows would be since the thirteenth century common elements not only in sieges, but in land or naval battles. 

    Returning to the above, to the Christian Nobility and the Church of Rome, the crossbow was a weapon damn scorned when not in vain one of his earliest recurve bow for sale representations in iconography was in the hands of a demon. Indeed, for a noble trained from childhood in the art of war, protected by a costly defensive armament was intolerable chance of getting beaten or killed for no one but a commoner like poorly trained, cowardly, by definition, and from adistance that was impossible a mere defense. 

    In fact, while a gentleman was usually captured respected by his peers, by class solidarity and for ransom, the archers and crossbowmen were massacred as a matter of routine and even noble an army could crush with his horse their own crossbow if in his way. 

    Hence the Second Lateran Council banned the use of deadly skill of archers and crossbowmen, but yes, only against other Christians. Obviously, these prohibitions would be ignored from the outset without any effect. 



    Of course, any of us now occur to us that the inventors or the crossbow turned to some kind of mechanism that would allow them to use the weapon more powerful at that time (the arc) to launch their projectiles (arrows) the known distance or even higher but with less effort. If you think about it what was intended would be to keep the arch in its tensioned position for as long as possible (even in minutes) to point and this does not lead to painful results in the arms of whoever was driving. 

    As you can imagine, after some (probably many) attempts was reached to place a horizontal arc on the tree, where to fix it, and then find a way to keep tension coupled with some sort of latch.Which are placed horizontally is explained, if we put the crossbow with the bow vertical (and without the restraints that have today) the arrow will fall to the ground and we do not do much good to the invention, also in this position have a clear view of the object pointed to, and although originally a system of references that serve as a view with which to aim. 

    When this system is perfected, over several centuries, were other advantages, including that users of this weapon does not need training so long as the archers to get to the target (it came to pass laws forcing archery practice every male of military utility given state at the time of the recruiting or cams) this difference in time to achieve acceptable results in the aim to become his original sin when talking about the nobility of this weapon or use in sports in front of goal. With the crossbow were achieved good reach (150 meters effective, but without precision) and the diversity of missiles that could be used was rather large (short, medium, long, metal, wood, sharpened wood, metal, feathers, no pens, ball-shaped, containing gunpowder grenades, stones ,...) 

    It was clearly not the perfect weapon, and had some drawbacks as any weapon that was used making it clear what would be the best conditions for its use. For example, the slack was so hard it was to be complemented with a system of springs mounted as the "bracket" the "kickstand", the "cranequín or squeak," the "mittens", etc. 

    Coupled with the attempt to achieve better performance with the crossbow tried giving it more power to this blade arc built of different materials: wood first, then several layers of different woods (compounds), iron, and finally steel or artificial fibers, synthetic compounds today. 

    Also have followed parallel paths with the bow and the bow simple switched to recurve and long after (now) to the pulley, well all these elements have been applied to the crossbow but taking advantage of some of them, for example, blades are usually shorter than the arcs (otherwise it would be manageable) versus a 60-inch bow we can find a crossbow just 28, with a crossbow recurve recurved than 48 to be 22 and facing a pulleys 38 or 40 a crossbow 25 (all approximate measurements, we all know there are brands, models and materials that give very different performance measures like), but always with one common factor, the crossbow will provide on average twice the power the arc though as can be seen in the technical side, the end result will be similar in speed and scope of the arrows (bolts, darts, bolts, arrows). 




    A LITTLE HISTORY: 
    The written and physical evidence suggest that the crossbow was discovered in China during the fourth century BC, while a type of crossbow called gastrafetes independently invented in Greece about the same period. It was not until the tenth or eleventh century AD that the crossbow became a significant military weapon in Europe. It was withdrawn from service in armies around the sixteenth century, but their use for hunting and target shooting has continued until today. 

    Most of this chronology is taken from GUIDE OF THE CROSSBOW by Paterson: 

    341 BC First records reliable crossbows were used in the Battle of Ma-Ling in China. 

    First AC 228 remains of crossbows, a latching mechanism in bronze found in the tomb of Yu Wang 

    DC 0-100 Hero of Alexandria describes Gastrafetes. 

    300-700 AD Roman statuette of crossbows. 

    385 Vegetius mentions crossbows in the work De Re Militari. 

    1066 Crossbows are introduced into England by the Normans. 

    1096 Anna Comnena describes Norman crossbows. 

    1100-1200 crossbows blades appear composed. 

    1139 the second Lateran Council injunction prohibits the use of crossbows against other Christians. 

    1192 The victory of the Crusaders in Jaffa achieved with the help of springs. 

    1314 First remains reliable steel blades. 

    Ballesteros defeated Genoa 1346 in Crecy by English longbow archers (Longbowmen). 

    First illustrations of cranequín 1373. 

    1503 First of many English laws restricting possession and use of crossbows. 

    1150-1600 Firearms replace crossbows in most Western armies.

    Photographic evidence showed in 1860 China repeater crossbows still used as weapons of war. 

    1939-45 "Arrowspeed" is the crossbow used by Australian commandos in the Pacific theater. 

    1945-75 leaf springs are used by mountaineers and the special forces of the United States during the Vietnam conflict. 

    1960 -? Crossbows are used to trigger anesthetic darts in the capture and treatment of wildlife, are also used to obtain tissue samples in marine animals and obtain genetic information. 




    How do I mount the crossbow? 
    Aid to mount the crossbow (mount = take the rope from the rest position to the clamping where it remains bound by a restraint). 

    When the crossbow appeared at the beginning, the arches did not differ greatly from those used usually classical arch, so they could tighten  without need for hand pulling and holding the bow of the crossbow with feet subject. 

    As the improved performance of the arcs of the bow (new materials, several layers of wood, iron, steel, ...) are able to increase the power of the arc and thus also increased the effort required to move that rope, which was needed any help for it. 

    The first was the stirrup, like the one used for riding, but applied to the front end of the body of the crossbow, were the most common string and then iron. 

    When he could not still with the rope other systems were developed such as: 

    The CRANEQUIN, a mechanical device by turning a crank to tighten the rope to move the gear by the guide also notched. 



    Turning (windlass) placed in the back of the bow, a rope coiled on a shaft and through the hooks that held the rope tightened the rope until the firing position. 



    The Kickstand (goat foot) lever through which the rope is forced to go back. 



    Essentially these machines exist today in most modern versions and some electrically operated for people who want to use physical lessened the crossbow for hunting or sporting activities. 

    These elements are what made to load the crossbow was so slow compared to the arc and therefore the use of protective shields and other elements, but not lose sight of that without such aid, bend a bow of crossbow with 400lb or more isIMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT BY HAND.

  • birds

     

    Got birds? Absolute Bird Control is a website dedicated to providing the very best in affordable and humane bird deterrents. The site offers a full line of easy bird houses for sale to use products that can remedy virtually any pest bird problem, and the products are designed for home use! Whether you have pigeons under an eave, geese in your yard, or sparrows nesting on a window sill, Absolute Bird Control has the right product for you!

    Pest birds can be quite a nuisance. They create a mess, and can carry disease such as West Nile Virus, Avian Flu, and Histoplasmosis. It is important to address a pest bird problem as soon as one is spotted. The longer birds inhabit an area, the harder it is to get them to move on.

    For years Absolute Bird Control has been dedicated to helping home owners find the best product for their pest bird problems. The customer service department is committed to educating customers on the different products available.

    Recently Absolute Bird Control polled its customer service department to find out what the top ten “pest bird” questions they received were. The list below provides solutions for the most common bird problems home owners’ encounter. If you have a pest bird problem, Absolute has a solution!

    1. Pigeons On a roof

    Birds like the highest points on buildings for predator and food lookout. When you take away the option to land there, they will usually move on and find another spot. Pigeons or seagulls can be deterred by using the spike products. Birds know they cannot land on such a surface. An outdoor sound deterrent also works well in this situation. These units are weatherproof, and can cover large areas. Other options would be the gel repellants. Applied to the roofline, birds do not like the “sticky sensation” on their feet, and will move on. Making the area uncomfortable will be your best bet. Because it can be difficult to access a roof area, calling in a authorized pest control company may be the best way to take care of birds on a roof. To find an installer in your area, call 1-800-392-6915.

    2. Small Birds nesting under and eave or canopy

    An eave is the perfect home for a bird. It provides shelter from the elements and predators. Scents in the nesting material and droppings will lead the bird back to their own nest. The most important step is to make sure all of the nesting material is cleaned away. Calling a pest control professional to help aid with the clean up and installation is your best bet. Bird droppings carry disease, and the proper protection is a must. Once the nests and droppings are cleaned up, there are several products that can help. The best way to keep smaller birds out of an eave is to block them out with netting. The netting acts as a physical barrier. Treating the beams that the birds are nesting on with the Bird Gel will also help. The Bird Chase Supersonic, an outdoor sound deterrent, is weatherproof and can be programmed for smaller birds. Predator calls signal the birds to move away from danger.

    3. Pigeons on a Balcony or patio

    Pigeons on a balcony or patio area are a very common problem. These areas provide shelter, and prime nesting locations. Because the birds land indiscriminately on these areas, it is important to choose something that will encompass the patio or balcony. Many people have success with stringing visual deterrents such as Mylar Flash Tape or Scare Eye Diverters. Both use visual scare tactics to frighten birds away. A sound deterrent can also help with this problem; they cover wide areas, and require no maintenance. For table tops and A.C. units, the Repeller, a solar powered unit that uses motion to scare birds, will also work.

    4. Geese in yard, making a mess of grass area

    Geese are large birds, which create large messes. Absolute Bird Control carries three different products to deter geese. There is a topical grass repellent called Migrate. It is made out of grape extract, and geese can’t stand the taste. Applied to a lawn area, geese will realize they do not have a food source and move onto a better spot. There is also a product called the scarecrow which is hooked up to a garden hose. Every time the unit detects motion it will spray out water. Lastly there is a sound deterrent called the Goose Chase Sonic, which uses distress calls of other geese to move geese on. If you only have a few geese any one of the goose products will work. If you have a greater number of geese on the property, you may want to consider using a combination of the products.

    5. Woodpeckers destroying the side of a home

    Woodpeckers peck into surfaces for a three reasons, to look for food, to attract a mate, and to create a nesting cavity. If woodpeckers have chosen your home to peck at, there are a few successful items you can use. Visual deterrents, such as the Diverters, Scare Eye Balloons, or Mylar Tape work well with a woodpecker problem. These three items have reflective surfaces which woodpeckers will avoid. The Bird Chase Super Sonic can be programmed for woodpeckers. The unit can cover between 1-5 acres, and is weatherproof.

    6. Birds sitting on a window sill

    Window sills provide a perch, and often shelter. Making the sill un-usable for birds is a good way to stop a bird from choosing your window. Products such as the Bird Spikes or Bird Gel work well in this situation. If you have birds flying into a window, or pecking at a window, we carry “window alerts”. These are decals applied to the window itself, which help birds recognize the surface, and ignore the reflection.

    7. Seagulls or Pigeons making a mess on a boat or dock

    When a boat owner goes out to their boat, the last thing they want to do is clean bird droppings. The masts and spreaders of boats provide perfect landing spots for these large birds. We have two great products to help boat owners battle a tough bird problem. The Bird Spider is a very simple product, with very successful results. Steel arms bounce in the wind, the motion will frighten birds away. Usually one spider at each end of a boat will be enough to deter birds. The Repeller, the solar powered bird deterrent, can also be used on boats. This unit is ideal for flat surfaces such as canopies or covers. The continuous sweeping motion of the rods will keep the birds at bay.

    8. Noisy Birds in a nearby tree

    Its 6:00 am and the birds in a nearby tree are at it again! Usually customers are troubled with the noise and mess birds create while in a tree. If they are not nesting you could try the outdoor sound deterrent (the Bird Chase Super Sonic) this emits predator and distress calls, when birds hear these calls their natural instinct is to flee the area. Visual deterrents in the tree such as our Mylar flash tape of scare eye balloons may also help. Fruit growers have success with the Scare Eye Diverters when trying to protect fruit trees.

    9. Birds / Ducks in or near a pool

    If you are having problems with birds around your pool you may want to consider the outdoor sound deterrent. This devices uses predator and distress calls to scare the birds. It is weatherproof and can be programmed to which bird you are having the problem with. Because you cannot really treat the pool with surface treatments (like spikes or gel) this may be your best option. If the problem is ducks in a pool, the scare eye balloons used in the pool have proven to be successful. The “Scare Eye Balloon” has mock predator eyes printed on the balloon. Ducks will be frighten by the site, and move on.

    10. Small Birds nesting in a Garage / barn

    Nesting Birds are tough to get rid of. Absolute Bird Control gets calls about birds in a garage or barn area often. Again these structures provide perfect shelter. As with question 2, netting off areas is the best way to keep birds out. Blocking access to the rafters or beams that the birds perch on is a great way to protect these areas. We also carry an indoor sound deterrent called the Bird Chase Super Sonic. This unit uses high frequency ultrasonic noises to deter birds, and can cover up to 6,000 square feet.
