Wow, Thanks! What an impressive collection of Chinese archery items. That special whistling artistic arrowhead is amazing. Let us know more about this collection, so we can contact the owner and he can give us some bows

They are the normal hunt-crossbows.I have seen some crossbows years ago like them .So i think their draw weight should be 80 pounds,or a bit higher.

They are actually pellet shooting crossbows, not normal hunting crossbows. Normally they were not made too heavy because the usual target was birds in trees and you don't want to accidentally shoot your neighbour.

Notice the special strings for holding the pellets. There is one in the Grayson collection that had a buffalo horn lath with a sinew back, but no wood in the core.
