Academy Sports + Outdoors is recalling approximately 6,300 Game Winner® crossbow cocking ropes. The hooks used to attach the rope to the crossbow string can break during use, causing the rope and components to recoil. The company has received four reports of hooks breaking on these ropes. These products were sold at Academy stores and online at academy.com between June 2012 and October 2012. Consumers should immediately stop using these cocking ropes and return them to any Academy store for a full refund.
The plastic hooks on the cocking rope can snap under tension, causing the rope to whip back towards the user, which poses a serious laceration hazard. Four incidents of the hooks breaking have already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cocking ropes and return them to Academy for a full refund.
