Crossbow Trigger-release Aid Method

Abstract

A method for providing for the disarming of a loaded crossbow in order to relieve the tension of the bow safely and facilitating an unloading process is described. The method employs a pair of bow grip handles equipped with J-shaped hooks, designed to grip the bowstring during the application and release of bow tension. The bow grip handles are fashioned with a receptacle configured to receive a mounting member in order to hold the bow grip handles in place against the body of the crossbow, providing for the tension of the bow to be safely released after the trigger of the crossbow is disarmed. The method preferably has an anti-fire bolt for use with anti-fire trigger systems.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A crossbow bowstring unloading method comprising:
 first, affixing a first bowstring grip to the bowstring via a first hook, overdrawing the bowstring;   second, affixing a second bowstring grip to the bowstring via a second hook, overdrawing the bowstring;   third, affixing the first bowstring grip and the second bowstring grip to a stock of a crossbow and mounting them in place via a mounting member fitting in a mounting receptacle;   fourth, frictionally binding the bowstring to a bowstring grip anchor;   fifth, activating a trigger of a crossbow, disarming a trigger release of the crossbow;   sixth, pulling the first bowstring grip and the second bowstring grip simultaneously beyond the bowstring grip anchor; and   seventh, releasing the bowstring and returning the bowstring to a neutral state.   
     
     
         2 . The crossbow bowstring unloading method of  claim 1 , wherein the first hook is j-shaped and wherein the second hook is j-shaped. 
     
     
         3 . The crossbow bowstring unloading method of  claim 1 , further comprising affixing the bowstring grip anchor to the stock of the crossbow via at least one screw. 
     
     
         4 . A method of disarming a crossbow comprising:
 first, loading the crossbow with a bolt by pulling the bowstring back and locking the bowstring into place through the use of a first bowstring grip and a second bowstring grip;   wherein the first bowstring grip and the second bowstring grip are equipped with hooks;   second, temporarily affixing the first bowstring grip and the second bowstring grip to the bowstring via the hooks;   third, overdrawing the bowstring;   fourth, affixing the first bowstring grip and the second bowstring grip to the stock of the crossbow;   fifth, mounting the first bowstring grip and the second bowstring grip in position on the stock of the crossbow via a mounting member interfacing with a mounting receptacle;   sixth, tension frictionally binding the bowstring against a bowstring grip anchor;   seventh, activating a trigger of the crossbow whereby the trigger release of the crossbow is disarmed;   eighth, relieving the tension of the bowstring by gradually pulling the first bowstring grip and the second bowstring grip back simultaneously beyond the bowstring grip anchor; and   ninth, releasing the bowstring gradually to a neutral state.
