 
Monkey Business Surefire Compound Bow
Rating:  -
Given to my son for Christmas, it's mid-January and the string has already broken. He had fun using a bit in the house (for as long as we let him) but hasn't had a chance to use it outside, due to the weather. Hopefully, I can get a replacement string before spring and he can have a go outside.
The design works well for smaller kids that still don't have the coordinator or strength for "regular" bows. The arrows are large enough for easier handling, and soft enough not to do any damage. I do wish it came with more than three arrows.
Haven't completed given up on this toy - but that depends on whether or not I can replace the string.

Cool toy. My 7 & 9 (almost) year old daughters love this bow.
11 year old niece and 14 year old nephew also love it as does
my nephew's dad.

It took our Grand Daughter a bit to get the hang of the Bow; once she did she enjoyed playing with it. The reason we got it is because she talks about getting a Compound Bow for deer hunting. Surely not the same, but it's got the same idea's and teaches her not to point it at something she doesn't want to shoot.
Works well and made well.

I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old son. I was a little concerned after reading some of the reviews that said their older children found it too complicated and frustrating. I usually follow the age recommendations on toys but since he already owned a cheap plastic bow and arrow set and could manage it I decided to take the risk. There are two little hooks on the front of the arrow that need to be hooked around the front strings. There is also a groove on the back of the arrow that needs to sit on the rear string. It took about a minute to explain this to him. I left him alone to fiddle with it for a while. Then I made suggestions like his hand needs to be behind the rear string, not in front of it. It took him less than ten minutes to get the hang of it. In no time at all he was shooting down towers of paper cups. He loves and plays with this every day! His twin sister found it more frustrating. I probably didn't give her the same amount of time to fiddle with it and figure it out for herself. I think that I frustrated her by over directing her. She doesn't play with it anymore.

We were a little bit hesitant to purchase this toy after reading several online reviews that said it was difficult for children under age 10 to operate. Our son is 7 and has no problem at all using the compound bow and loves it. It shoots really far and is a blast to play with!!!
