Abstract
Projectile slide-pushers for crossbows. These slide-pushers are made of rigid material and each has a bottom surface conforming to upper outer surface of a crossbow barrel. A common surface on the projectile slide-pusher functions as both a projectile pusher and catch engaging surface. These slide-pushers perform longitudinal motions, parallel to and along the cross bow barrel during shooting.
Claims25
In a cross bow comprising a stock, a bow, a bow string, a pellet holder containing and pushing a pellet during a shot, a releasable catch means for holding the pellet holder in a cocked position, said pellet holder having a front and a catch engaging surface in said front to be engaged by said catch means, the improvement including:
