Bought for a gift. The kid loved it and it is surprisingly very accurate. I do plan to buy again for my own kid in the future. Works exactly as it should and durable. Good value and fun to play with.

The boys played with them for hours (my daughter bought one too) while we were camping. They sometimes wound up in a tree but we got them all down. Great fun!

Big hit with kids and adults! Easy to use. Shoots far if you pull back far. We also have the bow and it’s super neat too! I recommend!

We bought this toy to replace another bow and arrows toy that has given great pleasure to adults, children and a little dog for a number of years. Those arrows are made of hard plastic and thick foam. The arrows are flung at the target followed by an excited dog that likes to chase them barking as they are flung. The suction cups of those arrows stay stuck on any smooth vertical surface until somebody detaches them. On occasion they might hit the surface incorrectly and they bounce and that’s when the dog grabs them excitedly and runs away with them. After playing like this for some years, the arrows of that inexpensive toy got chewed up. We searched for a replacement toy but couldn’t find an exact replacement of the one The ones that looked the closest were the Zing bow and arrows. We decided to get the Zing wrist toy because it came with arrows that have suction cups thinking it would be a good replacement of the old toy. It was received after two days, despite our Amazon Prime membership which usually promises next day or even same day delivery. The first impression after opening the box was that it looked cheap. If we were to compare it with something, it would be to compare it with similar toys that are sold at a Dollarama store for 10 times less the price we paid for this item on Amazon. After taking it out of the box we realized that the wrist attachment strap is too small to accommodate the wrist of an older child or an adult. We could have modified it by using our own elastic to make it fit. But the worst part about it is that the suction cups don’t work. They might stick on a surface for a second or two but then the arrow gets unstuck on its own. If we were to use these, they would be destroyed within a few plays by the dog. Also, the Zing arrow “feathers” are been held by plastic pins so there is a good chance that they would hurt the little dog’s mouth if she got to the arrow before we did, once it became dislodged. Now having said that, this is in no way the fault of the manufacturer since this toy is not meant to be used as a toy for dogs but when you have a dog around, it’s very hard to exclude them from playing. For these reasons we decided to return it the next day. Cost of the return, around $7. Again, so much for Amazon Prime. With our AP renewal coming up soon, we will consider hard if we we should renew it for another year or not.

The package arrived in an Amazon bubble-wrap envelope. The box for the Wrist Bow (see photo) is compact and easy to open, and the contents are nicely laid out. A minor complaint (for which I have no practical solution, Zing. Sorry!) is that the fletching on all the darts gets flattened in the package. I seriously doubt that slightly larger packaging would pass the cost-benefit test...Both the 8-year-old and the 42-year-old tried the Wrist Bow. It fits the 8-year-old's hand with plenty of room to spare. It's tight but manageable on a grown-up's hand, in case you're considering buying for a bigger kid, shall we say?Having owned several Zing bows (mostly the AirStorm), I would say that you're getting what you pay for when you upgrade from the Wrist Bow to the full bow. The pull is easier, the distance is greater, and the whistling arrows are a lot of fun with the full bow as opposed to the smaller Wrist Bow. That said, the Wrist Bow is good for indoor play, is unlikely to knock down any pictures or vases or hurt anyone with face shots, and *looks super cool*. And that counts for something!On performance: "It works, but it doesn't go that far," said the 8-year-old. Not sure how hard he was trying, and he is a little under the weather. The 42-year-old was able to get it closer to the advertised distance of roughly 40 feet.Bottom line: I would probably spend the extra $18 and go for the full-sized bow, but if I were specifically looking for a fun, foam-based bow weapon under $20, this is a very well done toy!

We love this toy!! My kiddo has so many bullet guns so we wanted something a little different and this toy is perfect! He says “he feels like a superhero” when he uses this. I kinda wish it came with a belt strap where you could hold all the darts, that would put this over the top! We’ve been able to shoot at windows, mirrors and (unfortunately) the TV lol and the darts stick on really well! So much fun!EDIT: YOU CAN PUT TWO DARTS UNDERNEATH TO STORE THEM OMG!!! I didn’t even realize that, but it has little hooks for the darts and then obviously one dart you’ll be using, but wow I can’t believe I missed that!!!EDIT 2: The white foam pieces tear off super easily especially if they get stuck to a window or mirror and the kids pull them off from the back of the dart. I could glue and glue and glue but eventually the glue isn’t going to cut it… definitely better for older kids who will know to pop the white foam off and not just pull the dart, or the parents of littles will have to be on standby and get the darts off.

We had great hopes for this set. It is pretty small, my 14 year old cant wear it properly, better for smaller kids. The suction cups don't stick very well, and they don't shoot very far. Ours didn't come with a target.
