AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing crossbow designs face challenges in providing sufficient clearance for the drawstring to move between drawn and undrawn positions without interfering with the firing operation, leading to potential interference and recalibration issues with mounted accessories.

Method used

A mounting rail assembly featuring two or more mounting bars coupled to the barrel rail, elevating the mounting rail above the flight groove, and utilizing a Picatinny rail with slot openings and crossbar portions for secure attachment, ensuring non-interfering drawstring movement and reduced flexing, and incorporating elastic materials for shock absorption.

Benefits of technology

The solution provides stable, interference-free drawstring movement and reduced flexing of the mounting rail, maintaining accurate alignment of accessories and eliminating the need for additional fasteners, thereby enhancing operational stability and accuracy.
