Would you recommend these for indoor use? How soft are the arrows compared to, say, Nerf darts?

the arrows are hard and hit with more force. As a toy it is great for outside however I would not use it in side unless you were in a gym or hall of some sort.

We used this indoors. They are fairly soft, but can REALLY fly, so they sting and can knock stuff over. If you have knick knacks or glassware, beware. Tons of fun, though, particularly because they fly so fast. It had my teen boys entertained.

Yes, it can be used indoors. I'm sure they could be uncomfortable if hit at a close distance, but my son has never shot me with one, lol... but he does shoot it indoors.

I really wouldnt recommend this toy1. The bow started breaking slowly after 2 weeks of use tue string you pull back on amd it was slowly getting bent2. I actually used my bow inside college dorm halls playing around and while the arrows didnt hurt us a littler child might get a bruise because it does shoot tue arrows pretty fast3. The arrows started coming apart also because they would scrape the wall and hit the floor and they weren't made very well

No, I don't recommend this for indoors. The darts are solid foam unlike nerf darts are and it will definitely break stuff. I mean if your careful it could be a good indoors toy but I don't recommend it.

You may want to try looking up the Db rating of these specific tools and comparing them to the average firearm. I'd say if they come close to a firearm, but being constantly on, these may not be enough protection. They work well for a gunshot here and there, but if I were going to shoot a fully automatic weapon, knowing how well mine work, I'd probably put earplugs in first. I agree with the other answer as well, in that you'd need earplugs for indoor shooting.Personally, from my experience in a workshop environment, I think they'd work just fine.

Are these good for Louder INDOOR Shooting Ranges? Indoor ranges are MUCH louder then outdoor ranges or activities ... anyone use to shoot indoors while multiple guns are being shot beside you along with your own at the same time? Any feedback on that situation would be great. Thanks.

I would recommend maybe a piece of wooden paneling $5 - $10. The darts have plastic tips, so they really don't penetrate a wall. I supposed they might leave a dent in plaster board if you really, really threw one hard enough...

They work well in my .357 for indoor practice. I made a catch for them and can actually re-use them a lot. They are highly inaccurate in my rifle. I would only use for shooting at the 25' range.

I would say no. maybe on the surface. The darts lacks the weight and velocity you would need.

They are really light. We use them for inside ball play all the time. They have not been a problem for my toddlers. They are not like Nerf balls; they are light like styrofoam but soft like sponges.

I shoot them out of my Gamo Silent Cat which is rated at 1000 fps for lead pellets. I only get 625 fps out of that gun with these 11.6 grain ones but they do a lot of damage to what they hit. But I would not use them in a low powered rifle. I switched to 10.3 grain H&N; Barracuda hollow points for more tissue damage but the Silver Arrow does a good job.

They're great for target practice. Not really flexible shafts (it's rigid plastic with only a very slight amount of flexibility), and they will break pretty easily if the target is missed and the bolt goes into the ground or a rock. Luckily they're cheap, but I wouldn't recommend for hunting anything other than a straw bail from a long distance (you will lose the bolt in the straw if you shoot at close range). Hope this helps :D

solid plastic with metal heads/tips and if you use them on a soft target they'll last many shots I have only tried once on a solid target 1/2 sheet of plywood the arrows head went thru it and didn't damage the arrow at all.

Darts are kind of ligth...however the go pretty far.I would b a bit concern about the weigth of the line and that u won't get you line tangle and the dart stuck with the branches.Hope this helps.

I do not believe there is any way that Nerf gun darts will have enough velocity or energy to spin the targets. They would most likely rock back and forth a bit but not spin completely over the support bar.

Darts should be available from the various dealers at amazon as extras for b.b./pellet guns.Do not expect much accuracy or velocity, its for point blank shooting.

Nope- these darts are magnetic and only stick to the board. They are very well made and the weighting on them allows for accuracy when aiming them at the bullseye.

They should be fine ... not an expert... seems like nocks would be compatible with all bow strings.... shaft will crack and splinter into stringy fiber spaghetti if you try to remove imbedded arrows from solid materials (tree stump) if you have a soft target get these ... economical i thought... they do seem to fly true although i have not tested them long range. Pretty wicked looking arrows

We play it with kids, but we enjoy it, because it's just for fun. Some stems of the darts have a bit of a curve to them, but we have been using them off and on for 4 years. They can be bent back to straighten them out and work just fine, and will hit the target where you aim. The magnets are very strong and stick perfectly to the board. They aren't any kind of precision darts, but they are a good time if you aren't all serious about them.

I bought these for my son to use in target practice. None have broken unexpectedly...so wood defeats foam I guess :). I'm not sure I would recommend them tho...there was quite a bit of glue on the base of the fletchings that needed to be trimmed for smooth passage off the arrow rest (made his shot pull right until we trimmed it). I'd say about 4 of the 12 arrows had this problem. Also...don't get brown. Big mistake on my part....unless you like spending 30 minutes looking for arrows buried in brush.
