Abstract:
A reduced length crossbow with a trigger located near a midpoint of the crossbow and a small included angle of the draw string when in the drawing configuration that creates a space between the draw string and the user's face. The included angle of the draw string when in the drawing configuration may be less than about 25 degrees. The trigger is typically located proximate the midpoint within about 10% of the overall length of the crossbow.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of operating a reduced length crossbow having at least first and second flexible limbs attached to a center rail and a draw string that translates along the center rail between a released configuration and a drawn configuration, the method comprising the steps of:\n locating a trigger on the center rail near a midpoint of an overall length of the crossbow; locating the draw string in first and second draw string journals on first and second cam assemblies, the first and second cam assemblies having first and second planes of rotation that are perpendicular to first and second axes of rotation located a fixed distance from the first and second flexible limbs, respectively, and first and second upper and lower power cable journal comprising paths that are not co-planar with the first and second planes of rotation; translating the draw string from the released configuration to the drawn configuration so the draw string unwinds from the first and second draw string journals as the first and second cam assemblies rotate around the first and second axes; wrapping first and second pairs of power cables onto the first and second upper and lower power cable journals as the draw string translates from the released configuration to the drawn configuration; displacing the first and second pairs of power cables along the first and second axes relative the first and second planes of rotation of the first and second draw string journals as the bow string is translated from the released configuration to the drawn configuration; and unwrapping the first and second pairs of power cables from first and second power cable journals as the draw string translates from the drawn configuration to the released configuration.
