Abstract
A crossbow accessory for coupling to a modular lower receiver of a rifle includes an elongated frame coupled to a riser at a first end, and coupled above the lower receiver at its second end. An upper housing secured to the second end of the frame includes a rope spool and winding gears for retracting the bowstring toward a drawn position. A rope extends from the rope spool to a bowstring release for retracting the bowstring. The bowstring release is retracted into the upper housing proximate the modular lower receiver for selectively releasing the bowstring when a user pulls the trigger of the lower receiver. A method for creating a crossbow using the modular lower receiver is also disclosed.
