A spear launching assembly includes a tube that is held in a hand and the tube is pointed toward game. A sling is removably coupled to the tube and the sling is comprised of a resiliently stretchable material. The sling is selectively drawn away from the second end of the tube to urge the sling into a shooting position. Moreover, the sling is releasable when the sling is urged into the shooting position thereby facilitating the sling to recoil toward the tube. A spear is slidable through the tube such that the spear is aimed at the game when the tube is pointed at the game. A lighting unit is coupled to the tube and the lighting unit is turned on to emit light outwardly from the tube wherein the lighting unit for illuminating the darkened environment and locating the spear when the spear has been launched. A plurality of arrow heads is provided and each of the arrow heads is removably coupled to the spear to pierce the game thereby facilitating the game to be killed.

A reduced length crossbow with a trigger located near a midpoint of the crossbow and a small included angle of the draw string when in the drawing configuration that creates a space between the draw string and the user's face. The included angle of the draw string when in the drawing configuration may be less than about 25 degrees. The trigger is typically located proximate the midpoint within about 10% of the overall length of the crossbow.

A trigger mechanism for use in a crossbow having a bowstring, the trigger mechanism comprising a housing having a slot formed therein, a trigger lever pivotally mounted in the housing and having a trigger that extends partially outside the housing, a catch pivotally mounted in the housing, and a disarm mechanism received in the housing that is moveable between a neutral first position and a disarm second position. The catch has a first end configured to retain the bowstring in a cocked position and a second end configured to operatively engage the trigger lever. When the disarm mechanism is in the disarm second position and the user draws the bowstring further into the housing slot, the trigger mechanism is configured to allow the catch to move from the catch first position into the catch second position without requiring the user to engage the trigger (e.g., squeezing or pulling the trigger).
