When shooting arrows, do the arrows go straight through the cardboard? If not, is there away to stop the arrows from exiting the back?

Hi Melissa. I would not personally recommend this target for arrow shooting simply because of the problem that you have anticipated. If you are looking for a good quality archery target, I would recommend the Morrell Supreme Range Archery Target which is sold at Dick's sporting goods, which are presently $119.99. It may be more money but this target will stop arrows every time and has the FITA target face for regulation archery practice. I use the P40 stand for target shooting with handguns and the AR. It is a simple tube design which is easy to assemble and lightweight. This target is more suited to shooting with firearms rather than for archery. In fact the large, slow weight of an arrow might actually knock the target over when shooting at it.

The arrows will go through the cardboard with no problem. The only thing you could do is put one of those sq. foam shooting blocks behind the cardboard to stop your arrows. You could tie it on some how. good luck

this is no good for arrows at all, they will go thru the cardboard and keep going, until they hit something else or run out of velocity, this is for firearms, airguns, etc., with a good backstop area, like a tall, thick earthberm.

Ooops, sorry, I gave the wrong answer. I was still half asleep this morning. I was telling you about a boat I bought from Amazon. As far as the arrows, I don't know that answer, but they are very durable and serve our purpose well for target shooting.

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.

Make Sure Your arrow rest is centered perfectly to the string. Can You see the sight clearly through the peep?? When i Shot low, my anchor point where i put the release on my face was too high thus pushing the arrow down. that could be it. but make sure everything else is also in order.

I shoot 345fps, feild tips with hay bailes backing it. Mine drives them within 2.5" of the vaines. Has good grabbing adhesive. But, your gonna need a grabber to first twist the arrow, then pull it back it' a little tuff coming out. I don't think a cross tip would come out unless you finished driving it all the way threw. But, it's better than distroying the vaines. At an average of $6.50 per arrow. I think my cross tips would slice and dice the material in only one warm up season. Hope this helps.

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. :-) The scope is a weird dot thing that I took off and just used the sights.

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.

Yes, I think all quivers allow the arrows to move about a bit. But for target shooting its not an issue. For hunting, I attach a quiver to my bow.

Super arrows? Lol yes all arrows that I shot stuck. But target didn't last long

A right (or left) clamp will will put a slight twist on the vane, this causes the arrow to rotate faster which some say will stabilize the arrow quicker after release, or after a not so clean release. Have heard that you lose a bit of velocity with the right and lefts over straights I have always used the straight so I can't say from experience. Not bow dependent at all.

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!

We've been using it with the target arrows that come with the Lil' Banshee Jr. set, if that helps. They stick fine.

If the bow is shooting low move the pip away from the arrow if it is shooting high then move it back towards the arrow only a half inch at time if that dont work let me know

Yes. My son shoots left and right. The arrow rest is stuck on with 2 sided tape is the only problem I had with it.

You can buy field tips. Also if you shoot at wood you can destroy the arrow. A target would be your best bet. You can pick one up for around $20.

It did not come with any arrows. I bought 24" arrows for it from another seller on amazon. The shiny black arrows by shiny black on amazon. I wouldn't recommend buying them and I wish I bought 26" or 28" arrows. My child can't pull it back far enough yet for it to be an issue but the 24" are definately too small if you can pull it back fully.
