Abstract
A crossbow includes a trigger mechanism providing positive setting or cocking and release of a drawn bowstring. As the bowstring is drawn, it is pulled rearwardly into a trigger assembly slot to momentarily rearwardly deflect and ride over a spring-urged string catch member. Deflection of the catch member in turn urges displacement of a safety element into locking engagement with a pivotal sear. A nose on the locked sear normally abuts the catch member to preclude its release of a bowstring cocked therebehind. Following manual displacement of the safety to an off position, squeezing of a trigger pivotally moves the sear nose clear of the catch member to permit the cocked bowstring to forwardly deflect and pass over the catch member as the bowstring leaves the trigger assembly and propels an arrow engaged thereby.
