Abstract
A crossbow including at least one trigger assembly that may have a string catch, a sear, a trigger actuator, and an anti-dry-fire mechanism. The anti-dry-fire mechanism can include (i) a bolt sensor movable between a bolt-absent position and a bolt-present position, and (ii) a linearly reciprocating sear latch movable between a latched position and an unlatched position and biased toward the latched position. The bolt sensor may be pivotably coupled to the sear latch so that (i) with the bolt sensor in the bolt-absent position, the sear latch is held in the latched position by bias force thereon, and (ii) with the bolt sensor held in the bolt-present position, the sear latch is held in the unlatched position against the bias force thereon. When in the latched position, the sear latch can prevent movement of the sear.
