Is it just for kids or can adults use it as well? Im trying to find the best crossbow for a Daryl Dixon costume.

It's well built and can be used by adults. Matter of fact it is fun to shoot and most adults will enjoy it I'm sure

Not sure what a Daryl Dixon costume is but......Yes, it is small but large enough for an adult to use as a costume accessory. It looks quite lethal! Have fun.

It's on the smaller side, built cheap. I'm 6 ft tall and I shot it once with my kids and it felt like I was shooting a mini bb rifle

It looks like a toy. It works but it is not very detailed or very big. It just depends how detailed you want to be.

most Nerf, or similar brand, will work and fire from the crossbow. Some even have suction cup tip for shooting at target.

The scope is a weird dot thing that I took off and just used the sights. Sights can be dialed in some but for me it still ended up high. As for game, well I guess you could. It does get going pretty fast. I have a cardboard box stuffed to the brim w old denim and even still it gets about half the dart in. Those darts are fairly pointy. That said, the while it *could* be done, its main purpose in life is to be a novelty crossbow. You can't (in my area) take it to the archery range and the gun range starts wondering if they're being pranked. It's a toy for grown ups. Don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed. :-)

This is definitely NOT for small kids, not only is it well built and got some weight to it, they probably wouldnt be able to cock it. The power of this thing is great, i made a video demonstrating it that can be found here: Big Cat Whisper Ammo Demo: http://youtu.be/qwOXlSsRrUk and that half inch ply. This gun is pellet only, the barrel is rifled and steel bb's will ruin it. As for quality, very well made, for a manufacturer thats been around a long time and its not made in china. You will be satisfied no mater what with this great purchase

Good question. I want to buy one for my son this year for Christmas. I bought him the bow last Christmas an he still loves it.

It's very real but it is smaller then a normal crossbow but still packs the same punch! I personally love it! You will either have to mod it or figure out a good grip to handle it. I use two hands on the main hand grip and hold normally. It is awesome. I promise I'm real too not some computer. Look up bobby whitter on YouTube I don't think I have a video review..... Yet >:)

no this is not a starter crossbow it is not at all easy to load for a beginner. you should start with something less powerful

The crossbow is really good for the price. It's very accurate and shoots pretty good. Well built, easy to put together, and fits both left and right handed shooters. Overall great bow for starters.

Lisa this bow is not a Good choice for a young archer . It is pretty much a toy . sell it, send it back just get rid of it someway .Go to a Barnett Vortec Jr . youth bow .It is a little more expensive .You can get it here on Amazon , or at your local dealer . It has a real bow string , real sights , and adjustable draw length .It will Grow with your child all the way from practice to real Deer Hunting . Well worth the money !! Easy to adjust draw length ,and Draw weight !!

I believe he would be able to with practice but I would treat this as giving him a handgun. It has that type of damage potential. I have a archery bag that I use for my compound bow and this crossbow shoots a good 5 inches into that bag from 30 yards. A couple bolts have even sunk completely into the bag. This is a deadly weapon. If I were to get my 9 year old a weapon I would go with a BB gun over this but it is your call. I would only allow its use with close adult supervision and proper gun safety training. As for a BB gun I think he would be able to use that with a little less worry that he will harm himself or another.

I would say it is for most ages. The bow is fairly light as is with no extras. The draw length goes from 13(child) to 30(adult) inches. For example I am an adult and my draw is about 28.5 inches. The pull weight goes from 5(child) to 70 lbs(adult) .

altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its hard to get em back out from say 25-30 yards. altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its... » Read More altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its hard to get em back out from say 25-30 yards. « Show Less

Sorry, I've never owned a crossbow although I'd like to get one. I have no point of reference to find your answer.

Best guess here. Stuff like the cross bow and character specific items ( Carls med bag, Michones katana ) are only with those characters. Other items such as rifles and handguns come with several characters. I don't think you can buy just the crossbow anywhere. Maybe find one on eBay somebody has. That said I think the accessories for gi joes will work with these figures too

I am in need of replacement arrows for this crossbow. I'd really like the arrows that originally came with this set because the replacement arrows sold on here don't work, they fall right out of the bow...they aren't designed the way the original arrows are designed. Please help??? Thank you!
