Any angle at all will kill the power of the shot.It's still a fun toy for my daughter, but Nerf might look at making these a little easier to use. (2) Ensure you're holding the bow level and pulling the string straight back, not at an angle. It can feel like you're back all the way, but that extra little bit makes a big difference. (1) Make sure you pull the handle all the way back. ![]() I've found that it requires some practice to get better performance. Half of the time the arrow/bullet just kind of falls out the end with almost no velocity. She makes use of that.ĥ Cool design but inconsistent performance It's a cool idea and an attractive design, but it has inconsistent performance. Like the way there is a built in thing to hold the darts. At least there was an option for this one, the Phoenix, with mainly black and just a little pink. She would not be able to use a real bow where you have to actually load the arrow and pull back the string I don't think. Age says 8+, but she just turned 7 and can easily use it. The bow itself is well made and easy for a child to use. I'm lucky she didn't end up with multiples. Told everyone who asked what to get her for her birthday that's what she wanted. I had never let them watch the Hunger Games, but she saw the bow in a store and wanted it. ![]() She shows it to everyone who comes in the door. I hope if you end up purchasing one that it works for you but this one did not for me.ġ Great first bow for a girl - We LOVE it My 7 year old loves this. ![]() I was tempted to contact Nerf to see if this was something that could be replaced and I guess because I never bothered I will never know. The hype of this toy was extremely high around the time of Hunger Games and the tv spot showed this looking like a really fun toy but I have yet to see anything fun about it. Certainly not this bow.Ģ Awful toy, not what I expected I am not sure if the one I received was defective or not but the arrows do not shot very far and half the time it does not even spit them out when you pull back and let go. - Blasters and accessories designed especially for girls - High-performance blasters challenge your skills - Fun. Nothing yet beats the old toy bow with suction cup arrows. This prevents the pull string from driving enough air into the bolt to make it fly.Once that happens, I have not been able to figure out a fix, so it ends up disappointing the child and doesn't get used. It didn't take long, though, for the Nerf bow to do what its guns sometimes do, which is to have some kind of spring or mechanism problem that causes the bolt to pop out a little after you've pushed it in. She quickly got the concept and was shooting away for a little while.
