Modular crossbow

Abstract

A modular crossbow for shooting a bolt and a method of customizing thereof. One modular crossbow comprises a tiller; a prod comprising a bow and a bow string, the bow attached to the tiller by a prod fastener at a predefined prod location; and a trigger mechanism attached to the tiller by a trigger mechanism fastener at a predefined trigger mechanism location, the trigger mechanism arranged to hold the bow string in a cocked position and allow shooting the bolt by releasing the bow string. The prod fastener is configured to allow changing the predefined prod location along the tiller, and the trigger mechanism fastener is configured to allow changing the predefined trigger mechanism location along the tiller.

1 . A modular crossbow for shooting a bolt comprising:
 a tiller;   a prod comprising a bow and a bow string, the bow attached to the tiller by a prod fastener at a predefined prod location; and   a trigger mechanism attached to the tiller by a trigger mechanism fastener at a predefined trigger mechanism location, the trigger mechanism arranged to hold the bow string in a cocked position and allow shooting the bolt by releasing the bow string,   wherein the prod fastener is configured to allow changing the predefined prod location along the tiller, and   wherein the trigger mechanism fastener is configured to allow changing the predefined trigger mechanism location along the tiller.   
   
   
       2 . The modular crossbow of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle attached to the tiller by a handle fastener at a predefined handle location, wherein the handle fastener is configured to allow changing the predefined handle location along the tiller. 
   
   
       3 . The modular crossbow of  claim 1 , wherein the tiller comprises a proximal end and a butt attached to the proximal end of the tiller. 
   
   
       4 . The modular crossbow of  claim 1 , further comprising a basis attached to the tiller by a basis fastener at a predefined basis location, wherein the basis is arranged to support the bolt. 
   
   
       5 . The modular crossbow of  claim 4 , wherein the basis is arranged to support the bolt from below the bolt. 
   
   
       6 . The modular crossbow of  claim 4 , wherein the basis is arranged to support the bolt from above the bolt. 
   
   
       7 . The modular crossbow of  claim 4 , further comprising a set of bases of varying lengths, arranged to be attachable to the tiller by the basis fastener. 
   
   
       8 . The modular crossbow of  claim 4 , wherein the basis fastener is configured to allow changing the predefined basis location along the tiller. 
   
   
       9 . The modular crossbow of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one rail interface system. 
   
   
       10 . The modular crossbow of  claim 9 , wherein at least one rail interface system is connected to the prod. 
   
   
       11 . The modular crossbow of  claim 9 , wherein the tiller comprises a proximal end and a distal end and wherein at least one rail interface system is connected to the distal end of the tiller. 
   
   
       12 . The modular crossbow of  claim 1 , further comprising a magazine attached to the tiller by a magazine fastener at a predefined magazine location, wherein the magazine is arranged to hold a plurality of bolt at a plurality of positions, wherein at least one position allows shooting the bolt by releasing the bow string from a cocked position. 
   
   
       13 . The modular crossbow of  claim 1 , wherein the tiller comprises two parallel tracks, one at either side of the bolt. 
   
   
       14 . The modular crossbow of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one laser sight attached below the prod. 
   
   
       15 . The modular crossbow of  claim 14 , wherein at least two laser sights configured for different ranges are attached below the prod. 
   
   
       16 . A method of customizing a crossbow for shooting a bolt to a user and circumstances, the method comprising:
 modularly mounting a prod and a trigger mechanism on a tiller at predefined locations; and   adjusting the locations in respect to the user and the circumstances,   
     wherein the modularly mounting is carried out by using adjustable fasteners for mounting the prod and the trigger mechanism. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising modularly mounting a basis on the tiller, the basis arranged to support the bolt, and the basis selected in relation to the user and the circumstances. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising modularly mounting a magazine arranged to hold a plurality of bolts at a plurality of positions. 
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising modularly mounting a handle on the tiller at a location selected in relation to the user and the circumstances. 
   
   
       20 . A fastener for a modular crossbow with at least one track, comprising:
 a middle part arranged to hold a part of the modular crossbow; and   at least one protrusion, each comprising a holder arranged to releasably hold the at least one track,   
     wherein releasing the holder allows at least one of: moving the fastener along the at least one track, removing the fastener from the at least one track.
