I think they did, but primarily preferred axes, swords and such weapons. there was a weapon called a Viking Catapult, which was an open triangular frame, bound together with cross beams, at the centre of which was a stretchy cord connecting to either side of the frame, a pocket, into which a missile was placed. A man would sit inside the frame, pull back the pocket, and release the missile high and away. Primarily used for sieges, if I remember correctly. although, given the norse proclivity for lightning raids and fast movement, I don't think they much cared for the idea of siege warfare, although, there are times when they did engage in it and masterfully execute it.
