1. A bolt comprising:
- a tip portion,comprising a first compression zone located at a first end of the tip portion; and
comprising a unitary structure fully defining a first collapsing aperturesaid unitary structure adapted to absorb kinetic energy by undergoing deformation,said deformation occurring in such a way that the deformation substantially plastically deforms both the unitary structure and the first collapsing aperture;
a notched portion comprising;
a nock, wherein the nock shaped to receive a bowstring;
a vane portion, wherein the vane portion at least partially increases the aerodynamic properties of the device; and
,a scent capillary, wherein the scent capillarycauses a scent to be released upon the device being fired from a crossbow.

Abstract
A device for allowing a crossbow to be released from a drawn position without damaging the crossbow. The device may comprise an elongated member having a substantially cylindrical shape that can be positioned on the upper surface of the barrel of a crossbow. The device may comprise a notched end shaped to receive the bowstring of the crossbow and allows the device to be projected by the bowstring upon actuation of the crossbow'"'"'s trigger lever.

9. A bolt comprising:
-
a body portion; a tip portion comprising, a first outer shell, wherein the first outer shell defines a first interior recess; a notched portion comprising, a second outer shell, wherein the second outer shell defines a second interior recess, a nock shaped to receive a bowstring, and a vane portion, that at least partially increases the aerodynamic properties of the device, wherein the tip portion and the notched portion can be selectively attached to the body portion to form an elongated member having a substantially cylindrical shape that can be used to un-cock a crossbow; a first compression zone located at a first end of the tip portion, said first compression zone comprising a unitary structure defining a first collapsing aperture, said unitary structure adapted to absorb kinetic energy by undergoing plastic strain; and a second compression zone located on the notched portion, said second compression zone comprising a unitary structure defining a second collapsing aperture, said unitary structure adapted to absorb kinetic energy by undergoing plastic strain. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
