Abstract:
A bracket may be adjustable with respect to a bracket engagement device and serve as both a stirrup and a shooting rest for a crossbow. One or more biasing force generators may be used to bias the bracket into one of at least two relative positions with respect to the bracket engagement device.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus for use with an associated crossbow having a main beam and a bow assembly, the apparatus comprising:\n a riser that: is supportable to the main beam; is designed to support bow limbs; and comprises first, second and third distinct connection surfaces; and a bracket having a connection surface and first and second distinct contact surfaces; wherein when the riser is supported to the associated crossbow:\n A) the bracket is rotatable with respect to the riser between: 1) a cocking position where the connection surface of the bracket is interconnected with the first connection surface of the riser and the bracket is positioned to enable a user to use the bracket as a stirrup to cock the associated bow assembly with the first contact surface receiving the user's foot and the second contact surface contacting a ground or other cocking support surface; 2) a shooting rest position where the connection surface of the bracket is interconnected with the second connection surface of the riser and the bracket is positioned to enable a user to use the bracket as a shooting rest to shoot the associated crossbow with the second contact surface contacting a ground or other shooting support surface; and 3) a carry position where the connection surface of the bracket is interconnected with the third connection surface of the riser and the bracket is positioned to enable a user to carry the associated crossbow with reduced bracket interference; \n B) the bracket rotates at least 70 degrees with respect to the riser about an axis of rotation between the cocking position and the shooting rest position; \n C) the bracket rotates at least 70 degrees with respect to the riser about the axis of rotation between the shooting rest position and the carry position; and \n D) the bracket rotates at least 140 degrees with respect to the riser about the axis of rotation between the cocking position and the carry position.
