How did we like it:
The Teen and Tween LOVED it; they had a blast. This is similar to the Nerf Gun products that you probly have all across the house. My kids love to have Nerf Gun wars and these two products just kept them playing for hours. The Teen really liked the Z-Curve Bow, which comes with three different arrows, one will even stick to the window. The Teen has been bugging me to get him a Bow and Arrow set for a while, so this was a great alternative for his age group; he had a blast. The Arrows went really far, I would defiantly say the 35 Meters ( approx. 114+Feet) is not an exaggeration, it really flies that far and then some. For under $20 bucks, this would make a great Birthday present and will keep your kids entertained for hours outside away from any electronics and a couch.

The Teen choose the Zing-Shot as his favorite, can you imagine the war that we had in our backyard? It was so much fun!!! They boy snug up to each other and the Zing-Shot was easy reloaded and went well over 45 Meters ( approx. 145+ Feet) and even the dogs go in on the action trying to catch the Zing Shots in mid air. It was sooo much fun!!

Both items are super easy to load, even the toddler was able to do it and she loved it. yet it was a little “too old” for her, she still thought she had a great time with her big Bubbas.

Do we think it’s worth the money?
Most certainty, you can’t go wrong if you have boys age 8+ this will be a hit in your house, just be prepared to buy addl. Refill Packs for the Z-Curve Bow; to have an even better time I bet if you have a hubby that is like a kid, he will enjoy this just as much as the kids. My hubby at one point snug the Z-Curve Bow and started an attack with the kids, it was hilarious, but then he is always in the middle of any of the “wars” the kids start. It is so worth the money and the fun. Be sure to check it out on Amazon.com.
