extracted text (Extract Text): Recalling ancient means and methods of waging war, a bow-gun from the days of the Crusades has been found in a collection of weapons in California. The bow-gun first came into use on the Continent in the fifteenth century and was carried by the Crusaders to the Holy lands while England was still using the long-bow. The weapon, believed to be at least 500 years old, has a metal bow mounted on a heavy stock. The arrows are precipitated by the release of a trigger.
