My 7 year old was really excited about this toy so there was a lot of disappointment when the toy broke in her hands on the first pull back of the bow, which is why I have to take stars off. Thankfully her mother has a knack for repairing things, so after disassembling it we discovered a zip tie that was holding the rubber band on had failed. After repairing it and a tricky reassembly we were back in action and my daughter was thrilled with it!
