Original Abstract Submitted

A crossbow includes a center rail defining a projectile axis, a draw string coupled with the first cam and the second cam, the draw string configured to move between a released configuration and a drawn configuration, and a string carrier slidably coupled with the center rail. The string carrier is selectively engages the draw string and moves between a forward position and a retracted position. The crossbow includes a trigger assembly having a trigger and a trigger pawl operatively coupled to the trigger. During operation of the crossbow when the string carrier is in the retracted position, the trigger pawl is in an operating position and is operatively engaged with the string carrier. During operation of the crossbow when the string carrier is not in the retracted position, the trigger pawl is in the operating position and is operatively disengaged from the string carrier.
