Summary

Ravin Crossbows is reannouncing the recall of all Ravin-branded white plastic clip-on arrow nocks, which were sold in packs of 12 and as original equipment with Ravin R9 and R15 crossbows and Ravin arrows. These white nocks, sold between October 2016 and November 2017, can fail to fully engage with the bowstring, causing the crossbow to discharge unexpectedly while re-nocking. Consumers should immediately stop using the white nocks and contact Ravin for free orange replacement nocks and a merchandise credit.

If the white nock is not fully engaged, the crossbow can fail to fire when the trigger is pulled and then discharge unexpectedly during the re-nocking process. This defect has resulted in 51 reports of finger injuries, including 21 serious injuries.
