Abstract:
The present invention pertains to the field of archery devices, specifically to devices known as crossbows. Historically. crossbows have had a single foot stirrup, centered at the front end of the crossbow, to assist the user in the cocking procedure. Though functional, a single stirrup does not allow the user to naturally center the crossbow with his body while cocking the crossbow, which may cause miss-alignment of the bow string, as well as possible loss of balance and fatigue. By placing a stirrup on both sides of the barrel of the crossbow, the user may use his left foot, right foot, or both feet to cock the crossbow, and the crossbow is automatically centered to the users body.
