*by C***S on 8 February 2021*

Nos encantó. Las instrucciones son claras pero debes seguir paso por paso y comprobar las medidas de las piezas porque si te equivocas tendrás que desarmar y volver a armar desde el punto en que te equivocaste. El mecanismo funciona bien. Expulsa el dardo a unos tres metros sin problema. Los dardos son ligeros y no hacen daño (no duelen) si te pegan. El giro es muy rápido, hay que acostumbrarse a la velocidad del disparo. Usa baterías pero es duradera. Viene con 6 dardos de repuesto. También viene con un pequeño instructivo que ejemplifica la distancia y el ángulo de disparo.
