>but I thought they were too complex

This trigger also has the added benefit of actually working.

Compression on mechanism >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> tension on mechanism

At any given point, the mechanism is being compressed, not pulled apart, and abolutely not bent. This is how dealing with metal parts works

Basicly the easyest way i can think of
i used that trigger for a crossbow i build as a kid

you need to sand the trigger realy smooth and it will still shorten your string live because it basicly shears the string

I used this back in the day
There are some issues with it, but it did the job

These need to be:

Strong.
Reliable.
Safe.

Accept no substitutes.
