So I was watching the movie 'War of Arrows' (a korean movie) and saw in a few scene the main protagonist using a sled type thing to knock his arrows, is this historically accurate or viable? The way it was used seems pretty smart, for small arrows.

that's the thing, it was a separate piece of wood used by the protagonist. I think it was a piece of bamboo

I don't know man, I googled "history of the crossbow" figuring this might have been an early precursor to its development' but I didn't get anything.

Saw the movie, enjoyed it. The guide is used for half arrows. They're too short to use regularly.
