Plenty of crossbows don't have stirrups: the arcuballista did not (especially considering the horse stirrup had not yet been invented.)

How long are regular length arrows? I haven't shot in years.

EDIT: I have been looking for a wooden stave that would work, but have been unable to find a recurved one. I've considered using a flatbow, and wanted to know your thoughts on that?
