Lesson of the day: Don't mess with a crossbowman. If zombies were real they would stand no chance against a 350 lb prod launching a bolt at their skull. Then again they would have superior numbers, and crossbows are not exactly known for an amazing rate of fire. :)

Overall the test was pretty impressive. I was impressed both by how tough the Ivan head is and by what the bolts did to it. The arrows shot from the 45 lb bow surprised me. The second one was particularly odd.
