Historically, the Crossbow was a defence weapon and had two guys with two or three Crossbows at town or castle walls.
One aimed and shot, the other reloaded the second Crossbow.
They were also tremendously more powerful and needed a mechanical spanning tool than those available today for hardly more than Zen practice shooting.
To attack, the English Longbow used by the strongest and tallest men in arms was used and for fast running attacks a short one as old as the Greek antique.
So, a modern Crossbow in Europe is the European version of the American Two Barrel Shot Gun used in the Bedroom upstairs with your family behind when the door gets kicked in or when Golf just doesn't cut it.
So, three woman with one Crossbow is close to JFK. Possible, deserveing a dark weird form of respect, but kinda unlikely.
