Ross

I believe the answer is:

crossbow

(Other definitions for crossbow that I've seen before include "it could be wounding" , "One responsible for shooting bolts" , "historic weapon" , "Weapon (used to set off a quarrel?)" , "Medieval weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
