Abstract
A crossbow trigger assembly with a nock sensor enabling the catch to release the crossbow string only when a nock of an arrow is properly engaging the crossbow string. The trigger assembly also contains a bypass feature for deactivating the nock sensor to cause release of the crossbow string from the catch when a user activates a release switch. The bypass feature can only be activated when retractable hooks are positioned to receive the crossbow string near the catch, thereby preventing a dry fire of the crossbow string.
