I am new to this. What stops the arrows from goign through the targets without possibly injuring someone or losing them?

Only a berm and safety measures. This is a PVC stand and you provide the target, i.e. Paper or cardboard. It is a target stand, not a backstop for ammo or arrows.

I use these for firearm practice with cardboard inserts. Arrows would pass through and possibly hurt someone or get lost.

Just make sure you have a good target. It is unlikely that arrows would penetrate and hurt someone. My suggestion look at the draw weight on your bow, gogge archery target thickness to safely stop ### arrows

If you removed the fletchings (feathers). Since the arrow goes through a small hole, there is not really room for fletchings. Besides, it's a rather weak bow, and having no fletchings means it's not likely the bow will shoot well enough to stick the arrow in a target consistently.

Broadheads would slice the quiver up when moving the arrows in and out of it. Use an Easton plastic arrow tube instead.

They come with 28" fiberglass target point arrows, which are okay but you would probably want to buy more of the same that come in a 3-pack. I personally would recommend buying some 30" carbon arrows. I find that the 28" arrows when pulled to full extension falls a little behind on the arrow rest. You want the head of the arrow overlapping the arrow rest at least 2 inches. Also the carbon arrows fly a lot better. They don't bend and flail when shot as the fiberglass arrows do.

If they are empty I am sure they can be knocked down. The "arrows" are soft enough to shoot at each other and I often surprise my kids with a sneak attack. It's a lot of fun to play and I've caught my husband picking it up a few times too.

No it won't. The "arrows" are the same foam material that make up the Nerf bullets. The tips are very blunt and soft. Even being shot at close range they don't hurt. Hopefully this helps!

Make sure your sight bridge is tightened down against the receiver. There is a ball detent (little ball with a spring) that should be holding your arrow secure. Either that ball is not functioning properly or it is missing. OR, as stated above, the sight bridge is loose.

No but you might break it pulling it out of the wood. These are nice sharp broadheads. You should have a broadhead target to not damage them when you tune your arrows with your broadheads.

bolt puller, i shoot into a target that doesn't require that kind of pulling power to remove arrows but if you shoot into a dense cube style target i would get one.

I would say anything shorter than what comes with the bow would make it difficult for the arrow to stay put when the child draws the bow back (ie. the tip of the arrow may be shorter than the handle therefore making it next to impossible to actually release/shoot the arrow). My husband purchased a bunch of extra arrows at our local big box store for circa $2 a piece and they've worked really well with this set.

I dont know. I shot with a crossbow and they went off at the nend of my bow. very dangerous

You have to have arrows tuned to the bow. I have only seen arrows out of a box work with a bow once in my life.

They have a soft tip, but they shouldn't be shot from close range depending on the bow it's being shot from.

It comes filled with a high density foam, so it is ready to shoot at. It will stop arrows and only penetrate a few inches and as long as you are using field tips they are easy to remove.

Well its ok. but just make sure you're strong enough to attach the string to the bow. also make sure all the nuts and bolts are properly tightened. i lost one when it came undone and had to replace it. the last thing I'm gonna add ismake sure you are firing at a visible target. I've already lost all my bolts due to them going underneath the ground.

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.

Just looked and as far as I can tell the shaft is just forced into the point. Keep in mind that these are just inexpensive arrows good only for shooting at a target or cardboard box. They work fine for me when we go out and are just practicing.
