You could give this toy crossbow to your kid, or just keep it for yourself
If big-game bow hunting sounds a little too intense for your delicate sensibilities, or you want to start building your kids’ archery proficiency early, this Real Action Crossbow Set is a fairly convincing replica of the real thing.
The toy bow fires suction-cup tipped bolts up to 20 feet, so you can work on your marksmanship without riddling your living room wall with holes. It features a laser-equipped scope for maximum accuracy, and its camo paint job will ensure that nothing can see you hiding in the bushes.

Go hunting around the neighborhood with this Real Action Crossbow Set. You can get one here for $27.99.
