TeamNC review (1990 era)
The Nerf Bow 'n' Arrow is certainly a classic Nerf weapon and definitely one of the better ones. The Bow 'n' Arrow has been released in several different colors a few times. In addition to this, it also has been recently released as the Nerf Sonic Stinger Bow 'n Arrow, which is the only weapon which features Buzzing Arrows. The best part about the Bow 'n' Arrow is the maximum distance. Also, the Buzzing Arrows on the Sonic Stinger edition have a hard plastic tip on the end which inflicts a great amount of pain upon the enemy.The most common problem with the Bow 'n' Arrow is the poor accuracy. This is due to the fact that when firing the weapon you have to let the handle fly forward while only holding it with one hand. Also, the little sight on the top is completely useless for taking aim at anything.
This weapon is OK and might be worth buying.
