Editorial Review
Nerf has entered into many parts of the world of sporting goods. Basketball, of course, and football being the most famous. But who would have ever thought that there would be Nerf archery? The whimsically and accurately titled Big Bad Bow comes with three hard foam rubber arrows that you pull back and launch (the packaging claims 40 feet, ours came up a little short of that but not by much). There's a target scope to help take careful aim at targets. Unlike archery, the arrows can't really stick to anything so you're better off using them to knock over pyramids and things like that. Also unlike a traditional bow and arrow, there's a trigger mechanism that actually does the firing. Still the traditional and low-tech approach is refreshing and, most importantly, fun. --Charlie Williams

Review #1: Big bad bow...
2007-04-16 
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.
Review #2: Whats with the Bad reviews?
2007-04-11 
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
Review #3: It's OK

The arrows tear apart. Other than that my child liked playing with it.
Review #4: Fun

The name is deceiving. It does not shoot like a bow. However, the boys still like it
Review #5: 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. |
