NZAP Evaluation:The Barnett Lil Banshee Jr. Kid's Compound Bow is advertised as coming complete with two arrows, a finger tab,and an arm guard. The bow itself is fine for the money and a good choice for youngsters. However, all the accessories, the arrows, armguard, etc, are hopeless and should probably be replaced.The Lil Banshee as with the proper accessories bow shoots quite well.
NZAP have the Barnett Lil Banshee Jr. listed as a toy but because the arrows supplied by Barnett have blunt steel tips, it is capable of breaking a window or inflicting a painful bruise ans should never be used by young children without the direct supervision of an adult.
