Adventure Awaits - 2-Pack Handmade Wooden Bow and Arrow Set - 10 Wood Arrows with Suction Cups - for Indoor and Outdoor Play

I couldn’t wait to get here to write this review after opening the bow and arrow pack. I can hardly wait for my 5 year old granddaughter to open these today for her birthday! She has been playing the archer, Merida, from the movie Brave with sticks. She will love these! The hole in the bow to seat the arrow is ingenious!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! She will be successful with each shot. She is already a perfectionist and she will LOVE how accurate these arrows fly. My daughter will love how they are made of wood and not plastic. (She’s an environmentalist, as am I) And, ALMOST best of all, there are two bows so I can play too!! I will definitely be looking for more toys from this company! (I’m a retired Kindergarten teacher and love toys that stimulate creativity, make the child successful, AND are made from natural materials!) There were some complaints about the suction cups coming off, I haven’t tested that aspect and we’ll be using paper targets so they wouldn’t stick anyway. I just like the suction cups for safety reasons! Again, MAHALO! (Thank you!)

Good for an afternoon/evening of plinking about as a party or picnic diversion. Not exactly Rambo grade, but no one will get hurt either (unless they are trying to). Note: the arrows will go faster than expected for the bows' size.

I loved that the 2 monsters couldn’t hurt each other with these. But, they managed to break the arrows. Would love to get replacement ones since the bows are very sturdy.

Our 2 year old is obsessed with bows and arrows. His favorite book is a book about castles and knights. We read it every night. Also, his Dad and I both enjoy archery, especially through our play in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism - medieval reenactment group.) So, we really wanted to get him a little bow and arrow set that would actually WORK for Christmas. I did quite a bit of research and landed on this gem.Our little guy has been playing with it for about 2 weeks now and he's gotten quite good! He is able to insert the arrow through the bow hole (such an ingenious design), knock the arrow, draw back, and fire away completely independently. Right now, he's not even trying to hit anything or get it to stick to anything. He's just practicing firing and he will keep at it for a very long time. The bow and arrows come with us in the car, to bed, and everywhere else. The arrows are surprisingly sturdy despite their slender size. He's been pretty rough with them - sometimes using them as drumsticks on the floor or table - and they've withstood the abuse just fine. He has deliberately stuck the arrows to a hard surface with his hand, so the suction cups do stick, but I can't speak to them sticking from a bow-firing yet.The sizing of this product has worked very well for us. Our son is on the small side for his age. He's almost 2.5 and he's under 3' tall and only 24 lbs. This product has been the perfect introduction to archery for him. It's a great value, well-designed, appropriately sized, quite sturdy, and it works! I couldn't be more pleased!

I bought this for my 2-year-old who's obsessed with bows. I chose this one because it looked simpler and more realistic than the neon green plastic one he had before. He doesn't even actually shoot it, he just runs around pretending to shoot it. I was pleased when I first took it out of the package because it was cute and perfectly sized for him, and he immediately loved it. Unfortunately, the black wrapping came off within a single day, and then the wood started to separate. In a day or two, it's just going to be a single piece of wood with a plastic string. At least it came with two, but I'm sure the second one will fall apart just as fast. I can't see paying $23+ for something that falls apart within a matter of days. Definitely wouldn't purchase again.

Get two bows, appears to be bamboo, with black nylon cord wrap for handles. String is synthetic, guitar string type, not to too thin so good there as it won't hurt fingers. You get 8 arrows with suction tips, suction tips are good, arrow shaft is strudy, but I didn't like the notch design or the design of the bow in general. Arrow is "knocked" by pushing it through a hole, so kind of awkward and not easy to aim. And the notch is just cut into the end of the arrow and not reinforced, so don't look like they will last. Main problem is however for a toy/kid bow, there are a lot of rough areas that haven't been sanded down or some kind of finish applied to it. Possibility of splinters are real plus the ends of the string that are tied off aren't trimmed or "capped" some how, so very pointy, 1/4 inch length of stiff piano wire is sticking out. Very real danger of penetrating skin! I'm an adult with pretty sturdy hands and small pressure in the right direction hurt, so I never actually let my daughter play with this. I didn't return it because I felt like I could sand this down and apply a little finish, plus hot glue gun the string ends and tape it down to make a usable toy. Probably not the smartest decision, since I keep acquiring these little improvement jobs...So, if you are looking for an out of the box play toy for your child, I would not recommend this.

We bought this product for our son who was having trouble using a bow that was given to him as a gift. The gift, which was made out of plastic, wasn't user friendly and the ends kept falling off. This wooden set is exactly what he needed to shoot and shoot accurately. The pieces are well made and have taken a pretty good beating while still working well. Highly recommended.

Very good for the price. My 7 & 8 year old son & nephew had a terrific time playing with this. I did not expect a lot for $20 for two bows and several arrows, my expectations were definitely exceeded. The black cord did unwrap on both of them, which was unfortunate, but we just retied it in a makeshift fashion.
