Greetings,
The answer to this is simply: Not really. In the past, people have tried
such things as throwing an axe, and while your opponent watches it, you
shoot him. It has never worked :). In 18 years, there was only one person
who won the Kingdom Protector tournament using thrown weapons. The simple
fact is that they are too slow. There was also only one victor using a
crossbow. All others were won using a handbow. The reload rate of the
crossbow means that I'm getting 3 arrows off for each bolt from a fast xbow
user.
