Petron MKII Sure Shot Crossbow

Brilliant fun for all indoors or out

Got this for my 12 Yr old grandson, easy to put together ,bullets come out fast and hit the target he already has for the gun ,he loves it

This is the second one I’ve bought, my Grandkids love it. You do need to buy extra darts though.

Brilliant fun for the kids.

My son "won" a crossbow at a hook a duck game. It was great for a day. His brother then broke it...by picking it up and looking at it funny! So I bought this as a replacement. It is highly accurate, well crafted and "relatively" safe. Great toy to use WHILST SUPERVISED or outside.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my son. Its quite accurate and more powerful than I thought it would be. The only negative things I can say is that the metal frame of the bow slips out regularly on firing but this was easily fixed by using electrical tape to secure it. The target sight at the front was displaced regularly on firing and stopped the trajectory of the dart so we just took it off and it fires fine, all in all my Son loves it all the same and its a lot of fun. I would have given it a 5 star if not for those parts I mentioned.

Bought this for my 10-year old for Christmas together with a target and spare darts. Brilliant! He can hit the target from 7 meters away no problem. The safety took a moment to figure out but it's exactly what he wanted and performs really well. Just need to enforce the rule that he's not allowed to shoot at his sisters!!

Very Good and fun to play with, old and young the front sight is loose and can sometimes get lost also the bow limb can tilt - and a child wouldnt realise

Alles super, vielen Dank

Solid and accurate aiming....shoots straight! Easy to use

gift for grandson he loves it

This handbow is fantastic. The suction darts are fast and accurate, and are a blast to shoot. You get three darts with the gun. You probably should get more as I am already down to 2. This is simple to operate. Pull the string back and lock it into place. Load a dart. Shoot. If you dont have a dart loaded, you can't shoot. If you dont pull the string back, you can't shoot. This is a great safety feature as it means that my son cannot load this with a pencil or homemade dart and take someone's eye out. It only takes Peltron suction darts, which again prevents conversion into a bright orange deadly weapon. Bow is high quality but still lightweight. Nothing on this feels cheap, which is huge given how many dumpy toys exist in the world these days.

You can get a sight picture with this that is fairly accurate because there is a front prong and notched rear sight as you would have wih some firearms. This might be safer introduction to firearm practice and learning how to aim for a child than say a B-B Gun. General principals of firearms safety apply regardless and this seems like a good way to teach a child in a relatively safe way: Always assume that a firearm is loaded; Point the firearm in a safe direction; Never aim at a target that you don't intend to hit i.e. don't aim this an animal or person for example. The handbow is fun for a child and adults too for that matter. The child needs to have a little bit of strength in his/her hands to pull the string back, so it is probably best for 6+ if trying to cock him/herself and perhaps older if the child cannot follow directions well i.e. not to aim at anyone for example. Note only 3 darts come in the kit. The handbow looks like it would last a little while for a child that was careful with it. But, I don't think it would not survive a hard throw against a wall. So, the child needs to be respectful and treat the toy with a little kindness. Putting the unit together wasn't quite as easy as I would have liked, not fully illustrative, but in the end was able to figure it out. Included (among other instructions) in the package insert: Made in China. Not suitable for a child under 3 years of age. Choking hazard. Adult assembly required. To be used under direct supervision of an adult.
