If there's one type of toy my boys never seem to get tired of, it's anything that involves aiming, targeting, and launching objects through the air. Over the years they have built up quite a collection of toy blasters, bows, and target games, and they are always excited to try something new.

Recently, they had the opportunity to test out two products from the Air Storm by Zing range: the Air Storm Z-Tek Bow and the Air Storm Firetek Rockets. Both have quickly become favourites for outdoor play and have provided hours of entertainment.

Air Storm Z-Tek Bow Review

The Air Storm Z-Tek Bow features a sleek design that's easy for children to use while still delivering impressive performance. The bow is fitted with shorter bungee cords for faster firing and includes convenient arrow clips attached directly to the bow for quick reloading.

Using the Z-Tek Bow is simple. Pull back the string, aim, release, and watch the arrows soar through the air. The arrows can travel distances of up to 100 feet, making it ideal for outdoor play in the garden, park, or open spaces.

Included in the set are two different types of arrows:

Zartz Suction Cup Arrows
Zonic Whistling Arrows

The whistling arrows are particularly fun, as children can hear them flying through the air as they travel towards their target.

Air Storm Firetek Rocket Review

The Air Storm Firetek Rocket Launcher brings even more excitement to outdoor adventures. This innovative launcher combines lights, sounds, and impressive launch heights to create a thrilling play experience.

To launch the rocket, simply switch on the light feature, attach the rocket to the launcher, pull back, and release. The result is a rocket that whistles as it shoots skyward.

The Firetek Rockets can reach heights of up to 250 feet, which is incredibly impressive for a toy in this price range.

Each set includes:

One launcher
Two light-up whistle rockets

The light-up feature makes the rockets especially enjoyable during late afternoons and evenings when the lights are more visible.

What Did We Think?

Jacob absolutely loves both Air Storm toys. Not only do they look cool, but they also deliver impressive distances and heights that make outdoor play even more exciting.

The boys regularly take them on our dog walks or bring them along to the local park. They spend ages launching arrows and rockets in different directions and challenging each other to see who can achieve the greatest distance.

What I particularly like is that these toys encourage children to get outside, be active, and use their coordination skills while having fun.
