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 1):
A reduced length crossbow comprising:\n first and second bow limbs attached to a center rail; a draw string that extends across the center rail that translates between a released configuration and a drawn configuration; a string carrier captured by the center rail that slides forward to engage with the draw string in the released configuration and slides to a retracted position that locates the draw string in the drawn configuration, the string carrier comprising a catch movable between a closed position that engages the draw string and an open position that releases the draw string, a sear moveable between a cocked position coupled with the catch to retain the catch in the closed position and a de-cocked position that release the catch to the open position, a dry fire lockout moveable between a disengaged position and a lockout position that retains the catch in the closed position; a cocking mechanism that retracts the string carrier to the retracted position and the draw string to the drawn configuration, the draw string in the drawn configuration comprises an included angle of less than about 25 degrees; and a trigger mounted on the center rail near a midpoint of an overall length of the crossbow, the trigger configured to engage with the catch when the string carrier is in the retracted position to move the catch from the closed position to the open position.
