Abstract:
A cocking system for retracting a string carrier on a crossbow that is substantially silent during operation.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of cocking a crossbow that has at least first and second flexible limbs attached to a center rail and a string carrier that translates along the center rail to move a draw string between a released configuration and a drawn configuration, and method comprising:\n mounting a rotating member to the center rail with a flexible tension member attached to the rotating member and the string carrier, the rotating member having a center opening with an inside surface and a first diameter; positioning a support shaft through the center opening of the rotating member and attaching the support shaft to the center rail in a non-rotating configuration, the support shaft having an outer surface with a plurality of recesses and a second diameter less than the first diameter of the center opening so as to create a gap between the center opening and the support shaft; and positioning interference members in the recesses and shifting the interference members within the recesses between a first location compressively engaged with the inside surface of the center opening to inhibit rotation of the rotating member relative to the support shaft, and a second location sufficiently disengaged from the inside surface of the center opening to permit free rotation of the rotating member relative to the support shaft.
