For a long time, attempts have been made to combine bowfishing with a crossbow, but without success. Either the solutions were cumbersome with long and tedious reloading, or they used toy-like crossbows that lacked sufficient power. Ballista BAT and Bat Reverse are the only crossbows in the world that possess all the necessary features: they are compact, powerful, and have a quick reload time of 3 seconds (with an arrow installed)! This completely changed the rules of the game.
