Just spent a week testing this archery set with my 6-year-old niece and 9-year-old nephew. Here's the real deal:
What Shines: The LED lights are a total hit! Kids went nuts shooting glow-in-the-dark arrows at the fluorescent target during our "ninja training" nights. Bow assembly takes literally 3 seconds - no adult help needed.
Parent Win: The suction cups actually WORK. We stuck arrows to windows, fridge, even my forehead (don't ask). No damage to surfaces or siblings.
Oops Moments: Lost 2 arrows to rough play already. The plastic shafts snap if stepped on. Pro tip: Buy spare arrows separately.
Unexpected Perk: That standing target? Best $20 I've spent to get kids OFF screens. They've invented 12 different scoring games already.
Gift Alert: Comes in a box nice enough for birthday presents. My nephew demanded his own set after trying his sister's.
Final Verdict: 4/5 stars - loses one for arrow durability. Perfect for ages 5-10 who won't treat toys gently. Just hide the TV remote before playtime!
