Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure describe a trigger assembly for use in a crossbow. The trigger assembly includes a floating sear that is able to translate with a cable catch as the cable catch is rotated and also may rotate relative to the cable catch. As the cable catch moves from an uncocked position to a cocked position, the floating sear engages a pivot beam that is engaged with a trigger mechanism.
