My son "won" a crossbow at a hook a duck game. It was great for a day. His brother then broke it...by picking it up and looking at it funny!So I bought this as a replacement. It is highly accurate, well crafted and "relatively" safe. Great toy to use WHILST SUPERVISED or outside.

You simply must forgive any Fiancé for waking up the baby with this gun. It wasnt his fault!

It's really just OK. It is a well made bow considering it's plastic and they're only suction cup darts. But it's a serious enough weapon that it hurts to get hit by them. Most Nerf softball guns are intended to hit others and play games of war; this is not one of those games. This thing hurts, the dog yelped, it left a red mark on the little brothers arm. But then other than windows the suction cup darts don't really stick to anything. If you are a true cross bow fanatic and your kid wants one to look like dad then I guess this is it. But as a toy, it's hurtful.

You can get a sight picture with this that is fairly accurate because there is a front prong and notched rear sight as you would have wih some firearms. This might be safer introduction to firearm practice and learning how to aim for a child than say a B-B Gun. General principals of firearms safety apply regardless and this seems like a good way to teach a child in a relatively safe way: Always assume that a firearm is loaded; Point the firearm in a safe direction; Never aim at a target that you don't intend to hit i.e. don't aim this an animal or person for example.The handbow is fun for a child and adults too for that matter. The child needs to have a little bit of strength in his/her hands to pull the string back, so it is probably best for 6+ if trying to cock him/herself and perhaps older if the child cannot follow directions well i.e. not to aim at anyone for example.Note only 3 darts come in the kit. The handbow looks like it would last a little while for a child that was careful with it. But, I don't think it would not survive a hard throw against a wall. So, the child needs to be respectful and treat the toy with a little kindness. Putting the unit together wasn't quite as easy as I would have liked, not fully illustrative, but in the end was able to figure it out.Included (among other instructions) in the package insert: Made in China. Not suitable for a child under 3 years of age. Choking hazard. Adult assembly required. To be used under direct supervision of an adult.

I like how this is a handbow that is geared more for an older kid. It's not babyish. I do think 6 might be too young to let let use it unsupervised. It's more powerful than most. It's accurate within 3-4 feet. The darts are small and harder than others my son has. Make sure the child you are giving this to is old enough to understand not to aim it at anyone's face! I do wish that more than 3 came with the set. Being that they are smaller, they are easy to loose. 5 or 6 in the set would be better. The toy does require some assembling but it's simple to do. When put together the handbow feels sturdy and a good quality. Overall, I am pleased with this.

This handbow is fantastic. The suction darts are fast and accurate, and are a blast to shoot. You get three darts with the gun. You probably should get more as I am already down to 2.This is simple to operate. Pull the string back and lock it into place. Load a dart. Shoot. If you dont have a dart loaded, you can't shoot. If you dont pull the string back, you can't shoot. This is a great safety feature as it means that my son cannot load this with a pencil or homemade dart and take someone's eye out. It only takes Peltron suction darts, which again prevents conversion into a bright orange deadly weapon.Bow is high quality but still lightweight. Nothing on this feels cheap, which is huge given how many dumpy toys exist in the world these days.

This has some power. I thought that since it was just a toy that it would not be this powerful or accurate but I was wrong. The set up was easy because it is just the plastic piece and the bow, the part that you place and screw in the front is metal, you then pull back on the cord and place it into position. I kept trying to set it off without a dart in the slot but it would not work, the special dart must be inserted and pushed all the way until the safety clicks up for this to work.This says that it can be used indoors or out so I first tried it indoors and it made a loud pop and ricocheted off the wall. This has some power and I would imagine that it would really sting if it hit someones skin.

Toy of the year! This IS your grandfather's dart gun. Petron makes a few versions of this, one is black & orange (vs. orange and black), while another has a shoulder stock. They all use the same darts and offer (as far as I can tell) identical performance.This is a solid little crossbow. The bow itself is steel, the darts are hard-ish plastic with rubber sucker darts co-molded to the end. The whole thing is well made from decent materials.It shoots softball sized groups at 5 yards.Velocity is higher than you'd expect from a toy (Mfg says it's not a toy, minimum 14 years, but I had a shotgun when I was 10, so take that as a symptom of the modern age, I guess)

When they say SURESHOT they sure do mean SURESHOT. This thing doesn’t play. It was easy to put together, is very sturdy - and takes very little instruction.Aim and shoot. And it hits what you aim at. The thing has a little “oomph” so don’t shoot another person. We had fun shooting our Jazz Fest posters. Professor Longhair made for a great target. So did the blue dog. Compensate about 8 inches for the arc…and you hit dead on.Have fun! This is for older kids (6+), just because of the little darts and if they do hit a living, breather - it might hurt. Put a little lick on the dart and it sticks like a charm. Yuck, but hey, I didn't lick it.
