ABSTRACT:
A cross bow is disclosed which includes a cocking mechanism for moving the drawstring to the drawn position. A cocking lever is pivotally mounted beneath the cross bow stock and an operating cable connected at one end to the cocking lever is pulled by pivoting motion of the cocking lever away from the stock member. The operating cable is connected at its other end to an engagement block movable in a lengthwise track and engages the drawstring either directly or through a slider element also mounted in the track, such as to be slid rearwardly upon pivoting of the cocking lever away from the stock to a cocked position in which it is held by a trigger mechansim. The prod is mounted on a movable slide, which in turn is connected to a cocking lever operated linkage so as to be retracted a lesser distance as the cocking lever is pivoted to draw the drawstring and extended as the cocking lever is pivoted back towards the stock to cause the prod limbs to be bent against the restraint of the trigger mechanism. This reduces the peak drawing effort required to cock the cross bow.
