Ravin Crossbows Reannounces Recall of White Arrow Nocks
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
If the white nock is not fully engaged with the bowstring, the crossbow can fail to discharge when the trigger is pulled and can result in the bow discharging while re-nocking the arrow, posing an injury hazard to users.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Serious injuries are a stated risk.
