Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a crossbow having first and second limbs with distal portions pivotally coupled to the frame at distal limb mounts and proximal portions pivotally coupled to the frame at proximal limb mounts. First and second cams are attached to the first and second limbs at locations between the distal portion and the proximal portions. A cocking mechanism slides on the center rail to engage with a draw string in the released configuration and slides to a retracted position to move the draw string to the drawn configuration and to engage with a trigger assembly.
