The bowstring is drawn back, and caught by a mechanism that holds it in the drawn position. A crossbow bolt (arrow) is placed in the groove in the center, ahead of the string. Pulling the trigger releases the string, and fires the bolt. Some crossbows require a lever or winding mechanism to draw back the bowstring.
