Will this work with safety arrows? My 5 year old loves his Bear scout beginning archery set...and I'm no where near ready to give him field tips

The target pieces are horizontal to allow the arrows to slide in, but they are tight enough to allow resistance. If the tips are blunt they may not. If they are wedge like in any way then I would say there should be some success. Even if they bounce off, he's still getting the practice and building his muscles for when he graduates to field points then you'll have a nice youth target.

We've been using it with the target arrows that come with the Lil' Banshee Jr. set, if that helps. They stick fine.

Yes it will work for that bow. I have about 8 different recurve bows and it works well on any and all. I am not personally familiar with your bow that your asking about other than a few pics I have seen. If it has a place to mount sights (screw inserts) then it easily will screw in the preexisting screw mounts and takes a few minutes to screw on. On my bows without sight screw inserts, they sell some bungie cord like mounts to prevent you from having to screw it onto your bow. I personally have just used a small piece of cheap bicycle tire and wrapped it around the mount to the bow several times and placed a small wire around it to help keep the rubber biting itself. I then put some duck tape on rubber tire and wire to give it a cleaner look. It has lasted several years with zero maintence. This is obviously more of a "rigged" version but bottom line is yes there is no reason why the reel won't work one way or the other. I can't remember what the bungie cord material sold is called but have seen in in sullys bow fishing or backwaters bow fishing magazine/website

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.

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!

Do not waste your money on trophy ridge quivers. Spend a little extra and purchase a tight spot quiver.. Fully adjustable to fit all arrows and rock solid mounts which the trophy ridge quivers are plastic mounts. Believe me you will be glad you spent the extra ash and purchased a tight spot instead.. I know I am a serious bow hunter and I know what works in the field and what does not work.. Good luck!

I also bought this bow as a gift to my grandson. For target practice I purchased the Easton Genesis II 6-pk. They are great as a beginning arrow, but the fletchings (vanes) are flimsy and come off easily. I decided in the future I would buy arrows else where.

They have target tips on them. I used these arrow for ceremonial pieces for Cub Scouts. They are beautiful and the fletching is done correctly and well. The target tips are attached well. However, please note that I did not actually use them for target practice. It is possible that the tips may lose strength overtime.

definitely work on a recurve crossbow' s string. My husband added them to his recurve bow and I have them for mine. He shoots more than I do and he hasn't commented on the speed of his arrows changing at all since he added the beaver balls to his bow string.

Hey Nick: You can use this with any bow. But you need to be able to mount it on your bow at the right position, so that the arrow is not cocked. If your recurve doesn't have a place to rigidly attach it, you may need to drill a hole in the body of the bow and bolt it. Good Luck

The 12 year old we have couldn't draw the bow. If your grandson is large for his age, he may not have an issue. I suggest heading to your local sports supply shop to get a better idea of what you are buying. I walked into this blind, and had I known better, would have gone in a different direction.

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

Hello,the arrows are too big for a Jr bow.if you are just use it for target practice the tips fall off.and you wait awhile for them until your card pays them.they will stay in touch with you until you get the arrows.so that's what happen to me.hope this helps,good luck.

Yes it will. The only issue would be getting them out. My bow is shooting around 330 and with normal field tips it is very difficult to romove the arrows. I switched to field tips specifically designed for these type of targets.

I bought the 28 inch arrows last year for my son and they work great with that particular bow as he has one as well.

Not a good idea. The bow and arrows are soft foam and really don't fly at all well. I bought it for my 9 year old grandson knowing full well that he would use it in the house.So far nothing has broken. But it isn't heavy weight enough to pull a wire. It barely shoots the arrow.

This is a toy. We used it as a prop. Would not be enjoyable for a child learning about archery. Go to a sporting goods store and ask about age appropriate archery equipment if you are looking for more than a toy.
