A safety device connected to a shooting device or a crossbow includes a safety member that is moved to restrict an activating member from pivoting to prevent unintentionally shooting when replacing arrows at the ready-to-shoot status of the crossbow. A resilient member is used to pull the transmission plate to move toward the second end of a case of the crossbow to deactivate the restriction to the positioning member such that the positioning member pivots and protrudes beyond a notch of the case to stop the shooting action of the string. After a new arrow is positioned, the safety member is moved again to drive the transmission plate from the second end to the first end of the case, and the activating member is released from restriction and the arrow is ready to shoot.
