O’Donnell Consulting performed a failure analysis on a hunting bow incident that resulted in an injury.
The draw weight, like most hunting bows, is adjustable, and typically determined by hooking the bow string on a scale and drawing the bow. During this procedure, the bow had failed. Metallurgical and nondestructive testing was performed on various parts of the bow, and found no manufacturing defects.
Our forensic investigations have included accidents involving sporting equipment, appliances and industrial equipment.
