Is this powerful enough to be used for hunting and would it need different darts?

with the right darts you could use it for birds maybe squirrels and rabbits. but would recommend the .60 cal to be safe

I guess you could hunt birds or small game, but you would need different darts. We have been very accurate up to 30 - 40 feet, but we just use the guns for sport.

No. It will fire only the darts that are shaped like the ones that are included.

It comes with 2 or 3 darts. It shoots about the same distance as other Nerf guns.

I think it would be ok for a while for some back yard target practice. It a decent bow and can be adjusted up in poundage. My 10 year old handles it well. I guess it mostly depends on what u plan to do with it. If it's hunting is say no.

No it cannot, its just a pellet gun. You can however use it for small game such a rabbit, squirrel and pigeon.

If all you got for darts are wood ones then i would contact the seller to let them know. they seem to no longer make the old style of stun darts or the broadheads it seemed to me when i got mine it had extra darts of other types in order to make up for it.

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. :-)

Its excellent for hunting. Used it to shoot two wild hogs about 3 seconds apart a week ago. So far so good.

I don't know because i could never string the damn thing. Crossbows are powerful enough, but you should check the laws in your state before using a crossbow for hunting.

Not an expert but you can hunt all day with it cocked. Best practice is to discharge the arrow at the end of the day. Bought one this year and filled both tags in PA. Top quality.

Absolutely!!!The kit is easy to build.The price is better than other bows,that are much lesser than the ghost350.It's a bow you will have for a long time.Don't buy to cheap!!You get what you pay for.I just held a new Barnett Raptor and it's real small and light.Felt and shoulders GREAT.But the scope was the non illuminated 4x32,and not as powerful,at 330FPS.For 5hundred the Ghost is real hard to beat.That's why I bought it.It cuts threw deer like melted butter!!

This bow is not suitable for hunting although with great skill and even more luck it might kill a squirrel. The draw weight is minimal (I purchased it for my 14 year old niece to satisfy her "Hunger Games" obsession) and would only recommend it for close quarter target practice.

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.

Yes, you can. There are even a bit of videos online you can find, that have different methods for making the fishing / frog hunting darts. You can also customize pre existing darts, with a triangular file, fishing line, and a cone, to wind the line around and let it easily release it when shot. It's all pretty easy stuff, just takes a few minutes and a little know how. I hope that helps.

Definitely as long as you have the right arrows for it and heads. I bought some arrows off amazon that weren't strong enough and when I'd shoot them they would bend severely and take a flight pattern maybe two or three feet off target. I would recommend wooden arrows for target practice and a strong aluminum arrow shaft for hunting so you can put a good and sharp head on it for piercing the animal. Allen Company sells a 31" shaft recommended for 55lbs-75lbs with the broadhead inserts already installed.

It can be a bit noisy. It's a great all-around quiver for target and 3D shoots but definitely not intended for hunting.
