Emergency room Made Jul 6, 2018, sent to the company Jul 16, 2018, published by CPSC Aug 6, 2018
The product, in the report: Cross Point Sniper Brand Cross Bow. Product has an insufficient safety barrier to prevent fingers from being amputated by the cross-bow string.
Last fall (Aug/Sept, 2017), I bought a Cross Pointe Sniper Crossbow. I shot it a few times on my property before taking it to the range. At the range, the cross bow string nearly cut my thumb off. Fortunately, the hand specialist/surgeon was able to sew it back on. Now, i can use my thumb, but have not regained feeling in the area in front of the wound entry point.
It is true that the manufacturer of this bow has warned the operator against getting a finger in front of the string; however, there is an insufficient safety barrier to prevent this from happening. Since my accident, I have examined cross bows made by other manufacturers and noticed that all others have a longer, wider, and thicker barrier to prevent the operators fingers from wandering into danger. I would strongly encourage the manufacturer of Cross Point Sniper crossbows as well as Cabelas/Bass Pro Shops to correct this dangerous deficiency in this product.
I hope to find someone to create an acceptable and safety barrier so that I may safely use this cross bow. If not, I will have to replace it. It is not safe to take into the field in its original manufactured condition.
