Can you recommend a target good for this size bow that won't destroy the arrows easily? They get very $$.

You shouldn't need anything very heavy. A basic foam target would do fine. This bow doesn't generate all that much velocity.

1st off the arrows that come with the set are horrible, but good replacements can get expensive. Bail of hay works best, but if not redly available, get one of the block style "Big Green" targets. You can get a broad head version or target version. Pricey, but well worth it. They'll last forever.

I recommend using a cardboard box or a bail of straw. We used a the box from a new larger flat screen TV. To save the arrow when removing, place you hand on the target with the arrow between index finger and thumb. Pull arrow straight back. As for the price of arrows, if the bow is getting good use then splurge for the carbon fiber arrows. They will last. Hope this helps.

What I did is I got a cerial box and put on a target, and use the packaging it came with and stuff it inside the box

Mine just snapped at the tip a few minutes into my first play with it. Snapped like balsa wood. I've never seen a bow do that and it wasn't excessively tight. Not so great.

I need replacements too! My kids loved the bow, and it really is a step above "little kid bows" that can't be aimed or go very far. But the bow strings broke and we need to figure out how to fix it.

I have a 65 lb compound bow and my arrows penetrate several inches sometimes 6 or more. It should work fine at 35 lbs, just make sure your target points match the diameter of your arrow shafts. If the points are wider than the arrow they will be difficult to remove. And if they are smaller than the arrow shaft they may not penetrate well. Good luck

Q) How long UNtil it BREAKS? (Spelling and grammar checkers are your friend.)A) The bow itself is quite sturdy. Barring abuse or extreme circumstances I would say that the bow itself should last for a good number of years. The arrows however are bit on the cheap side and the vanes will likely not stay straight nor even attached. I suggest going with the GT Lightning arrow as replacements. Get at least half a dozen arrows.

Target holds clay pigeons only. I would not recommend for archery as the arrows would only break them or bounce off instead of landing properly

Depends on the size of the archer . I think it comes with 26 inch junk arrows. I'd get at least 28 inch. It's a 25# bow so match the arrow spine appropriately. Get feathered arrows, not vaned-it'll tear off the vanes quickly (try the ones that come with it and see)

It does not come with arrows, but we love the bow. There are plenty of good deals on target arrows. I didn't have any problem with the arrows with the plastic feathers. They hold up well and so do the fiberglass shanks. Better get some extras, as they can get lost or the plastic nocks some times break off. 28" is about right.

Only the nerf dart works and you can get pretty good distance. The target is a just a piece of cardboard so if you kids is don't care about the targets, then get the one without it. your kids will need practice before they can get a good distance on this bow. The trick is to release the handle quickly, don't hold on to the handle. Actual arrow will not work with this toy.

You want to get a "carbon" arrow with a "300" spine. It won't matter what brand they are. I bought mine at Sportsmans Warehouse, the cheapest ones they had. In late summer/fall, you can find some at Walmart. Just look for the "carbon" arrows that say "5570" on the side, (that translates into 55 to 70 pounds draw weight). I hunt Razorbacks with this bow, and if it can penetrate their hide, it can kill anything. Best of luck.I should also mention that you don't want those cheap bulk no-name arrows from China.

We get our extra arrows from Walmart or Bass Pro. The tips of these were metal, not sharp, but just a tiny point, good for target practice.

No. Also, I didn't realize the arrows are suction cups, so I don't think they will stick to a target anyway. They are not very big, my son shoots them at Windows and doors which has not been a problem.

Wooden ones work also, but this is what i used...Arrows 30" Fiberglass Target W/Replaceable Points Brightly Colored Shafts W/Multicolored Fletch & Cresting Points & Nocks Included.

I'm new to the sport and purchased this solely for target shooting on my rural property. It is a great beginner bow per the local archery shop reps I spoke with. I would STRONGLY recommend you also order the cocking device. It's very strenuous to load the bolts and well worth the money. You will also want to buy a target. There are many options available from square bags of assorted sizes and densities to game animals (hunting decoy type). Hay or cardboard targets will damage the bolts severely. Also, Amazon has the best prices by far on bolts (arrows) and cases. Lastly, the red dot scope that comes with the bow in some packages is VERY basic. I would definitely upgrade it and pay the few bucks to have it professionally sighted at a local pro shop. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. It is so simple and easy to assemble, and although the pull says it's 50-55, it's really only about 30 or so with the string that it comes with. The arrows that come with it are great and very durable, and they are not too difficult to replicate at your local archery or hunting store. Fires well and you'll love how easy it is to store by it being a compact bow.

I think they are good for everything that arrows are good for ! they do stick in the target ! they will penetrate a level II vest at 50 feet from a 50lb recurve bow . did this help ?

I was using it for a 80lb crossbow and sometimes the bolts imbedded so deeply that they were nearly unretrievable. But those were bolts not arrows. I think it would be perfect for a bow with a lower draw weight. Hope that helps.
