Crossbows had short and consequetly inaccurate arrows.

True for long distances.  Not true over short distances.

Ever see how the arrow shank flexes and wobbles when shot from a
conventional bow?  Start here and watch it flex:

With all that flexing, it's a wonder the archer can hit the proverbial
side of a barn.  A crossbow bolt is short, stiff and doesn't flex.
Therefore, it's more accurate.  What a short bolt doesn't have is
range.

If you really want accuracy, you use the longest arrow possible.
