Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Precision Shooting Equipment is recalling about 2,800 TAC Elite, TAC Ordnance, and Enigma crossbows because they can fire an arrow unexpectedly without the trigger being pulled. These crossbows were sold nationwide and online at PSE-archery.com between June 2013 and November 2013 for between $600 and $1,500. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should immediately stop using these crossbows and return them to the manufacturer for a free repair.

Risk

The internal firing mechanism can fail, causing the crossbow to discharge an arrow without user input. This poses a significant risk of puncture or impact injuries to the user and any bystanders in the vicinity.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled crossbows to prevent accidental firing.
  2. Identify your model: Check the left side of the crossbow above the trigger housing or near the rear for the PSE logo and model name emblem (TAC Elite, TAC Ordnance, or Enigma).
  3. Verify your serial number for TAC Elite and TAC Ordnance models: Look directly above the hand grip for an engraved serial number. Recalled TAC Elite serials are 2097056 through 2134901 and recalled TAC Ordnance serials are 2121938 through 2133384.
  4. Check Enigma models: Note that ALL Enigma crossbows (identifiable by their camouflage color and 20-inch wide bow) are included in this recall regardless of serial number.
  5. Contact Precision Shooting Equipment at (800) 477-7789 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. MT Monday through Friday to arrange for a free repair, or visit www.pse-archery.com and click on Support for the 'PSE 2013 TAC and Enigma Recall Information' link.
