Best Nerf Bow and Arrow

They all pretty much so the same thing, right? But, it’s the way that they do it that makes each one of our picks stand out above the rest. Here are the key features to consider when you are comparing the different Nerf guns bows and arrows.

1. Recommended Age

You’ll want to take note of the recommended age. We know, we’re always tempted to get them toys made for kids a little older. But, bows and arrows have some considerations to take into account. Each one will require a certain amount of physical strength to maneuver its parts, and there are safety precautions specific for certain ages. The last thing you want is to see their faces fall when they can’t get the arrow to shoot.

2. Type

Pick a target, stalk, aim, and fire. But, what will they be shooting at, and where will they be shooting it? The biggest difference that we found was whether they were shooting darts or arrows. The darts are smaller and softer. And, arrows sometimes seem to travel farther and faster. We were also looking at how many darts and arrows came with the bows. You know those things are gonna get lost!

3. Firing range

You might be looking for one with some power that will fire darts or arrows over 100 feet. Or, you might want something with a little less of a kick. We’ve broken their firing range down into three categories.

• • Short-range: less than 50 feet
  • Long-range: up to 100 feet
  • Ultra-long-range:past 100 feet

4. Rapid fire

Oh, yeah! Rapid fire is over-the-top cool! They don’t all have chambers designed for rapid fire. But, when they do, let the games begin!

5. Size

Think about the size of your child, and the size of the bow. You want them to grow with it, yet still be able to handle it comfortably as soon as they get it.

6. Weight

Along with its size, check out the weight. You’ll notice some differences. You want enough weight to make sure that it’s sturdy, but not so heavy that they will get tired of holding it.
