This review is based on what my 11y old son says about it. He likes that the bow actually launches the arrow. He says that it is surprisingly really fun but he wishes there was a little more distance on the arrow. That being said, he is a big nerf kid and so this is also right up his alley. It's something I feel comfortable with him using indoors and haven't banished to only outdoor play like many of his nerf things. Despite being 11, he is still into imaginative play a little bit and has kept coming back to this set. I'd probably say it's best for the 7-9 crowd but it has kept his interest.
