Help! Nock replacement or better recommendation? I've bought 2 packs (6 arrows) for my son and half of them already have broken nocks in a few days. Believe me, my kid isn't that strong. How can I replace the nocks? Or do you recommend better arrows?...

You can buy new nocks (sporting goods store). Just make sure they are for the same diameter as the arrow. Take a small hammer and tap the old nock until it comes off, sand that end of arrow with some fine sandpaper so new nock will fit on, then apply some super glue to end of arrow and put new nock on.

Well first they are called bolts. They are stronger than arrows and do not have a regular nock. I shoot 18" or 20" . Got deer with 20" bolt with small fixed broadhead last year at 40yd. very little drop and passed right through.

Take a few precautions and you'll probably be fine. Try a sheet of plywood behind the target for stray arrows. Kids shoot poorly at first so start close like 10 ft from the target at most until they can consistently hit the target and build control of the bow and arrow. Obviously don't shoot in a direction toward people or valuables. Also look into a few better quality arrows which will shoot better. Just always use practice tips.

I wish I knew...eventually, all the darts get lost or get stuck in the barrel and will no longer work, as they tear. I have contacted the company, but no one speaks english well enough to understand. I will buy another, then return my "broken" one and hope that the new one works better than the older one. Good luck!

I bought a package that came with 4 cheap bolts and a quiver. I never spent much time using the red dot, can't comment on that. I ended up buying some carbon fiber bolts for like $10 bucks each when you buy six on amazon.

Dear friend,our arrows are all handmade item.We embedded in a small nails in the broadhead hole to stabilise the broadhead,so you can put the nails out and put down the broadheads and then replace them with target points. If that doesn't work.You have to cut down the broadheads.Any questions and suggestions feel free to let we know.Thanks a lot.

If the bow that your 6 year old is shooting has an arrow rest, go with the 28" or even the 30" that way you wont have to renew these arrows when he gets a little older. If he is shooting a traditional type of bow like low poundage youth longbow without a Modern style arrow rest then go with less then 28" coz aiming with longer arrows is more difficult & ruins posture & learning technique. Although 27" is quite ideal for kids less than 10 years of age, for the bad quality of the fletchings on these arrows & taking into account that the arrows from this seller does not come in 27" I would recommend getting 27" arrows from Another seller.

They are tough arrows, they are all I shoot, I've had a couple of fletchings come lose from arrows passing through a foam target, but only after about 10 shots, for the price you can't go wrong, if you mess some up just buy more... For my shooting preferences they are the perfect weight arrows/bolts...

The kit comes with NASP-standard Genesis 1820 30" alloy arrows (made by Easton Archery). They are very fine arrows :-). You can get those at Dick's Sporting Goods, usually (they don't seem to be in stock via Amazon right now). But any good target arrow of 30" would be fine.

I bought these for my son to use in target practice. None have broken unexpectedly...so wood defeats foam I guess :). I'm not sure I would recommend them tho...there was quite a bit of glue on the base of the fletchings that needed to be trimmed for smooth passage off the arrow rest (made his shot pull right until we trimmed it). I'd say about 4 of the 12 arrows had this problem. Also...don't get brown. Big mistake on my part....unless you like spending 30 minutes looking for arrows buried in brush.

I bought this for my son and he destroyed the arrows after one day. The bow after one month... Granted he never put it down... But it was obliterated after a good month. It is a good product and for the money well worth it. Just be aware you only have 2 arrows.

This does not come with arrows. The arrows you get will depend on your eventual draw length. You can read about arrow selection here: http://www.learn-archery.com/beginner-arrow-length.htmlI got 12 practice arrows (following link) and am mostly happy with them. Had a couple nocks break off after several rounds of firing, but still have 10 usable ones.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GNXPU5I/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1424123673&sr;=8-1&keywords;=shiny+black+30%22+premiumπ=AC_SY200_QL40&dpPl;=1&dpID;=51ididqX2AL&ref;=plSrch This does not come with arrows.

These are great beginner arrows overall. However, because the have stiff plastic fletching your accuracy with a longbow would be somewhat limited unless you learn to adjust your shot to compensate. Arrows with feather fletching are the best for longbows, but they will cost you two to four times as much. The length of these arrows is pretty good especially for youth and lady shooters. A full grown man might find them too short for a comfortable draw. I am 5'4" and I can use these with my traditional longbow without too much difficulty. Between them, my kiddos have a longbow (standard), a recurve, and a compound bow and they ALL use these particular arrows. They are durable and fairly true to aim overall, but I still think the accuracy is best with the recurve and the compound, probably because they are more 'powerful' than the longbow. Hope this helps!

Only the nerf dart works and you can get pretty good distance. The target is a just a piece of cardboard so if you kids is don't care about the targets, then get the one without it. your kids will need practice before they can get a good distance on this bow. The trick is to release the handle quickly, don't hold on to the handle. Actual arrow will not work with this toy.

The arrows are replaceable, if the arrow gets damaged. Yes, you can get more arrows. I get the 5/16 size of a field point.

Q) How long UNtil it BREAKS? (Spelling and grammar checkers are your friend.) A) The bow itself is quite sturdy. Barring abuse or extreme circumstances I would say that the bow itself should last for a good number of years. The arrows however are bit on the cheap side and the vanes will likely not stay straight nor even attached. I suggest going with the GT Lightning arrow as replacements. Get at least half a dozen arrows.
