This review is from: Monkey Business Sports Surefire Compound Bow X2 (Toy)

This is best for outdoors. My boys are 12 & 14. This is one toy that they will still play with. We've had them for a couple years now and the rubber bands on the front have broke. some of the arrows have lost their flights. My father, who is 71 years old, had a hard time putting it down at a family gathering. He was shooting everything and everyone. A good arrow is pretty accurate. It's best to get two so you can shoot arrows back and forth. I'm ready to buy two more sets.

We were a little bit hesitant to purchase this toy after reading several online reviews that said it was difficult for children under age 10 to operate. Our son is 7 and has no problem at all using the compound bow and loves it. It shoots really far and is a blast to play with!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 4 1/2 year old son LOVES this toy!, December 20, 2007

This review is from: Monkey Business Sports Surefire Compound Bow X2 (Toy)

I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old son. I was a little concerned after reading some of the reviews that said their older children found it too complicated and frustrating. I usually follow the age recommendations on toys but since he already owned a cheap plastic bow and arrow set and could manage it I decided to take the risk. There are two little hooks on the front of the arrow that need to be hooked around the front strings. There is also a groove on the back of the arrow that needs to sit on the rear string. It took about a minute to explain this to him. I left him alone to fiddle with it for a while. Then I made suggestions like his hand needs to be behind the rear string, not in front of it. It took him less than ten minutes to get the hang of it. In no time at all he was shooting down towers of paper cups. He loves and plays with this every day! His twin sister found it more frustrating. I probably didn't give her the same amount of time to fiddle with it and figure it out for herself. I think that I frustrated her by over directing her. She doesn't play with it anymore.
