What Kind Of Injuries Are Common in Bow, Arrow, and Hunting Accidents?
Hunting is an inherently dangerous activity and hobby.
No matter the number of safety measures a hunter or a group takes, there is always a risk when guns, firearms, and other hunting equipment are involved. When a gun, firearm, or crossbow is fired it doesn’t always mean that the trigger was pulled intentionally. Some of these products can be defective from the manufacturer, retailer, or owner.
The attorneys at Schiffman Firm are experts in representing cases where the victim has been injured by hunting equipment like a bow, crossbow, compound bow, or arrow. Our team has over 100 years of combined experience in successfully taking personal injury and product liability (Read: What is product liability?) cases to court and delivering the results and compensation our clients deserve.

Defective Triggeres, Broken Arrows, Poor Engineering
What Are Some Common Defects and Examples In Hunting Equipment Like Bows, Crossbows, and Arrows?
Just because a gun or a crossbow fires or goes off doesn’t mean that trigger was necessarily pulled.
Guns and crossbows can be manufactured with defective triggers or safety features that cause the weapon to fire even when the trigger is not pulled. This type of accident can cause catastrophic damage and even cause wrongful death. Defects in ammunition or manufacturing flaw in arrows can also create a scenario where a hunter or bystander could suffer a personal injury.
Common and Real World Examples of Defects Found in Bows, Compound Bows, Crossbows, and Arrows
Misfirings and crossbows firing without the trigger being pulled
The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled a variety of TAC Elite, TAC Ordnance, and Enigma crossbows that were manufactured by Precision Shooting Equipment and sold in catalogs and stores like Bass Pro Shops, Cabel’s, Kinsey’s Archery, and Pape’s after it was discovered that these crossbows could fire arrows without the trigger being pulled
Bow limbs breaking and causing fragments and shards to fly in the direction of users
This type of defect was seen in The General compound bow by BowTech Archery
Arrows breaking when fired and striking unintended targets
Beman Bone Collector Arrows we recalled for a similar defect
