ZX Cross Bow

My 7 year old son loved this toy! However after a short amount of time, it does seem to be breaking a bit. He doesn't play with it much any more : (

I really wanted to like this, the bows are awesome but this falls short. It shoots just fine but nowhere near as far or as hard as the bows. As a novelty, I am sure it is fine.

Product arrived on schedule and in new condition. I'm very pleased with it: the crossbow is made of quality plastic and seems durable, the elastic bands have held up so far with no problems and the arrows have a good combination of flex and weight. I bought this as part of an arms escalation in a Nerf war and it definitely competes for accuracy and it hits harder than your standard nerf dart. When you shoot someone, they'll know it!A few things to note:It is accurate out to about 30 feet easilyThe arrow is locked into position - by this I mean that you can run around and still fire without the arrow falling out, like in some other toy crossbowsPistol grip feels good in the handIt comes with only three arrows but you can order moreBe aware:You can't have accuracy and range without it having some power behind it - don't shoot someone point blankThe color scheme is awful, I pulled off the stickers and I'm in the process of repainting.

Make sure you do not leave these outside in the sun. We live in Arizona and my sons made the mistake of leaving them out for a day and the bungee rubber bands dried out and broke (mind you it was winter). Also the arrows are foam and the tips break off when you put them into the firing part and once the sides of the tips break off you cannot use them in the bow any longer. This was a Christmas present for my young sons and it did not even make it to February before it was trashed. Total waste of money. I would not purchase again.

Bought it for my kids for Christmas and was broken in a couple of weeks. It was a really good toy in the beginning but they need to resolve the quality issues with the product. One of the rubber bands broke making this toy useless.

This toy is perfect for the kid (or adult) who likes shooting toys. Got this for my 8 year old godson and we had a blast. The toy is strong, and held up to our initial trials at christmas. It was a little pricey, but i think it will last longer than other similar toys.

Shoots very good but already broke. Cross Bow snapped in to two pieces.Performance was very good but durability was Poor.

I ordered this for a Christmas time activity for my grandkids. It is good for ages 4 and up. Even at that age it is a little difficult for them to pull back to get ready to shoot, and they need assistance. With practice they can get it. It seems very durable. It lasted up to an hour of continual shooting by ages 2 up to teens. The little ones you have to pull it back and then let them pull the trigger. It has a safety that you have to switch each time, which is nice to prevent accidental shootings at people or things. Great toy. One things though....the suction cups don't stick longer that 2 seconds and they don't stick to everything like stated. I didn't take any stars away for that, but you should know.
