^ True but your recruits would be muscular guys (farmers) and you are likely to have something like a week to a month before the battle. It shouldn't be any problem to make the guys usable. I never used any big crossbow so can't say how hard it is to load (though seems harder than bow), but from personal experience, you are gonna go through your arrows much faster than tire out when using an ordinary bow (and I am indoor type). The only exception is a longbow, but that is a special case.
