  • Patent number: 9310153
    Abstract: A crossbow kickstand accessory which may be affixed beneath a crossbow stock. The kickstand has three positions: (1) a stored position; (2) a kickstand position; and (3) a bipod position. The kickstand position is at approximately a 40 degree angle, and the bipod position is at approximately a 90 degree angle away from the stock of the crossbow. The kickstand position allows the user to set the crossbow down while the stock is in the air making it simple to set down or pick up with only one hand. While the kickstand is open in the kickstand position, it prevents any twisting or rotation of the stand or the crossbow, which will prevent the crossbow from falling over. An alternative embodiment design would move the stand forward along the stock into the stock handle position.
