We were given an opportunity to try out the new GeoSpace Pump Rocket Air Archer. It was love at first sight for my boys because of the bow-like arm. My 6 years old son said that it made him look cool and like Hawkeye from the Avengers. And once he started to play with it, he wouldn't share it or put it down.
The GeoSpace Pump Rocket Air Archer is super easy to operate and no battery is needed (a plus). My son just had to insert the foam rocket into the end, pull back the launcher piston, and let go. It's pretty amazing watching the foam rocket flying in speed and traveling up to 150 feet. The toy is well made and sturdy. It stood its ground even after being played by my rambunctious boy. For that, we purchased another Air Archer from Amazon for my 9 years old son. My boys love playing pretend war games and now with each having their own Air Archer, they would shoot at each other as target. The foam rocket doesn't inflict any pain but it does create a lot of giggles.
The foam rocket does get worn out if continuously shooting at hard surface. The tip of son's foam rocket fell out after his numerous practice shooting of the foam rocket toward the bullseyes on the wall. We taped the tip back onto the rocket but it was no long going straight. My son was still able to play with the Air Archer but we ordered extra foam rockets from Amazon.

After witnessing the fun the GeoSpace Pump Rocket Air Archer gave my boys, it became my number one gift choice for my my nieces and nephews this passed Christmas. The price was very affordable too.
