btw: with her high dex,spd, and bow skill, my bard is shooting her 3x crossbow 5x's twice per round. With Hunter bolts she is dishing out close to 200hp of damage! So if we are willing to keep practicing with it, the potential is there.

Correct. The Doubleshot Crossbow adds 1 extra shot to each attack sequence your character gets, and the Tripleshot Crossbow adds 2 extra shots. So when your character's stats would normally dictate getting 3 shots per attack sequence, they would get 4 with the Doubleshot Crossbow and 5 with the Tripleshot Crossbow. The other "doublestrike" weapons like the doublestrike dagger and Bloodlust work exactly the same way.
I consider the Tripleshot Crossbow to easily be the deadliest ranged weapon in the game due to exactly what your bard is seeing. Now try that with a Ranger with 125 in Ranged Combat, better bolts, and their natural critical hit ability, and you will see real ranged carnage. Too bad you just can't carry around enough ammo to keep that up...
