The fletching groove includes at least one setting disposed between the rearward end and forward end of the crossbow stock. Each of the at least one settings define a path that includes at least a first direction and a second direction and a catch.

The upwardly incline surface of the second direction is at substantially forty-five degrees relative to the top surface of the fletching groove. The second direction further defines an upper most end that includes the catch adjacent the upper most end. The at least one setting for receiving the crossbow bowstring at selected intervals along the length of the fletching groove.
