 "replacement arrows and more..." | 2008-08-28 |
| - Reviewed By User: ANQPF5NUZW7NQ |
after taking the gun out of the box, i realized that the bow attachments (orange and black pieces) werent needed for the gun to work. my bow came with 6 arrows unlike many people who bought it at toy r us and only have 3. i bought mine as a target exclusive.
ive heard many complaints of broken arrows and not enough arrows.
FOR BROKEN ARROWS (ripped fins)
just take either super glue (what i used) or hot glue and put them back on. this will only take a few minutes.
FOR MORE ARROWS
nerf claims that they dont sell arrows and are basically impossible to purchase. i did some searching on the hasbro site and found how you can purchase more. you can go to the hasbro site, go to customer service, and on the left, it will say "replacement parts". find the nerf order form, print it out, and mail for more arrows. (i havent ordered more arrows so i dont know if theyre the same. ive heard and read that arrows are usable with all guns that use arrows.) heres the site ----> http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=cs_parts
the extra arrows can only be ordered through mail.
IF YOU DONT WANT TO USE ARROWS ANYMORE
you can use regular micro darts by simple cutting the front orange part with a hacksaw. they you can open the gun, and take the air restrictor (clear part with a small spring) out and close the gun back up. WARNING, by taking out the air restrictor, the gun will be more powerful, nearly shooting darts 50 feet.... also the gun will still use the arrows after this modification.
if you want to know more about the modification, simple search "big bad bow mod" or go to nerfhaven.com and find the gun in the modifications forum.
this nerf gun is probably one of the best and is pretty cheap. |

| I found a lot of mods for this guns so i thought why not buy it! i did and i don't regret it. i modified it to shoot micros instead of the big arrows. But without the mod it is almost useless in a nerf war. I am a kid and know what kids like so get this if you are a hard core nerfer. |

 "Big Bad Bow stands up to the test" | 2007-11-29 |

| I purchased this toy to use as apart of a game at my kids' school carnival. It proved to be one of the hits of the carnival as the kids got to practice their "archery". What impressed me more was it withstood numerous uses from tons of kids. If you want a long lasting toy, this would be it. The educational value may not be that great but sometimes a toy just needs to be FUN! |

| I got this as a christmas gift and participated in some of our neiborhood battles. It is quite powerful and fast for a nerf gun. Also, the scope is a nice touch. The only bad things are the arrows that it comes with. They would tear easily and break. Overall, this is a good nerf gun to beginners and pros alike. |

| Ok, this gun is not bad! The arrows may be quite terrible. All you do its buy mega darts, they fit into the end of the barrel and go farther. Also, To get some serious sniper range with this gun, You need to pull it open and put a new spring in it and remove the airs restictors. Then it gets great range. Trust me! and Dont buy it here, go to target its 20 bucks there |

| The arrows tear apart. Other than that my child liked playing with it. |

| The name is deceiving. It does not shoot like a bow. However, the boys still like it |

| "Good Replacement For Crossbow" | 2006-11-29 |

Although the Big Bad Bow (known in the Nerf Internet Community [N.I.C.] as the BBB or 3B) is a re-release of the discontinued original, nothing has changed. The BBB is still a decent high powered single shot spring blaster. Though not as famed or as powerful as the also discontinued Crossbow, the BBB makes a suitable replacement. The gun is quite useless for someone who is not prepared to mod it properly, with only six foam arrows, which should never be used in a serious war, and a meager range of 40 feet, the stock BBB is a bit of a joke. The actual bow parts don't really do anything, they are just for show, and add nothing to the gun.
When properly modded, however, the BBB is an excellent weapon. Firstly, the barrel must be replaced. With a good brass, crayola, or PETG barrel replacement, the gun can often fire mini stefan darts 90-100 feet. It's not a bad idea to re-lube the gun as well. A simple restrictor removal can also benefit the gun's range. There are even more advanced mods that can clip-mod the gun to make it have a Rate of Fire similar to that of the new N-Strike Longshot.
Overall, the gun is a good choice for a modder or someone just looking for some quick fun. But don't buy this gun if you are planning to participate in a nerf war and are not prepared to mod it. |

Got 2 for my sons for Christmas (ages 6 and 10). They are having a great time with them - watch for ambushes! Reminds me of the way we played when we were kids - running around, climbing trees for a better shot, hiding behind bushes :-)

 "No Replacement arrows???!!!" | 2005-11-28 |

| My son and daughter have loved this toy but after 6 months I came back to get replacement arrows and found out they do have them - What??? What good is a toy that you can not use because you can not get more arrows? I guess that fact that I am so frustrated is that my kids really love the toy! |
