1. A crossbow assembly, comprising an elongate stock having two opposing side surfaces, a relatively narrow upper surface, a relatively narrow lower surface, a front nose surface, and a rear butt surface;

  • a unitary trigger and bow string release member pivotally mounted within the stock so that a trigger portion of said member extends from the relatively narrow lower surface of the stock to form a trigger and a bow string release portion extends from the relatively narrow upper surface of the stock to form a bow string holding and release means;

    pivot means mounting the trigger and bow string release member within the stock so that movement of the trigger portion about the pivot mounting from a cocked to released position causes movement of the bow string release portion from a bow string holding position wherein a bow string is held in a cocked position by resting against the bow string holding and release portion of the member to a bow string released position wherein the bow string holding and release portion of the member has pivoted to release the bow string; and

    retraction means for urging the trigger and bow string release member to a position wherein the trigger portion is in its cocked position and the bow string release portion is in its bow string holding position.
