Abstract
A trigger mechanism for use in a crossbow having a bowstring, the trigger mechanism comprising a housing, a trigger lever at least partially received in the housing and pivotally mounted thereto, a sliding block comprising a recess formed in a first surface, and a bowstring catch pivotally mounted in the housing. The bowstring catch has a first end configured to retain the bowstring in the housing when the crossbow is in a cocked position, and a second end that is configured to engage with the trigger lever. The sliding block is moveable between a safety on first position that prevents the trigger lever from rotating, a safety off second position where the trigger lever may be rotated, and a disarm position where a second arm of the trigger lever is partially received in the sliding block recess and a first arm of the trigger lever disengages from the bowstring catch.
