Surprisingly powerful. My uncle got me and my brother these crossbows for christmas. We got some more darts and have shootouts with them (wear glasses - it'll hurt if they go in your eye).
He wants one for himself now, and he's 44!
Very sturdy, well built. Comes flat packed, just 1 screw and your ready to go! I added some duct tape grips on to it though.
Made by the toy archery company 'petron', apparantly established 1963.
Targets on box are good, dart stick almost every time. I found out that it actually works better if you don't lick the darts surprisingly.
Highly recommended. Buy some more darts too if you need them (i can guarantee that the 3 that come with it will get lost after a few days of constant use). £3.99 For 12 - great bargain!

Fantastic gift... Distracted two 9 year olds away from their computer games to have fun with this toy! The crossbow is quite powerful so they managed to shock their grandparents a little haha. I wouldn't have minded to pay a little bit more for a couple of extra darts.. However you can buy more separately.

Highly recommended and it's a good gift to buy if you're not too sure what to get for children when they're growing up quickly! My boyfriend wants one too and he's 27!

Bought this as a present for christmas brought alot of fun and competition to get the highest score. Easy to use will buy another so i get more turns
