According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the crossbows, if not fully cocked, can discharge unexpectedly while users are handling the bows.
The recall, issued on March 21, 2024, involves more than 13,300 crossbows, consisting of eight different models of the Ravin R500 Crossbow series. The R500 series crossbows are about 8 inches wide, axle-to-axle un-cocked, and about 28 inches from end to end. They have a split limb arrangement with cams (a rotating or sliding piece) mounted between the upper and lower limbs. These crossbows were sold in slate gray and camo colors. All eight models include a scope, quiver, cocking handle, quiver bracket, and six arrows. The “Ravin” logo and model names are on a decal located on both upper limbs. The serial number can be found on the left side of the rail above the trigger.
