My DS has announced he wants “a glove that shoots arrows like a catapult using a magnet to pull the arrow back” for Christmas.

Apparently they are available in Decathlon. My intensive search of the Decathlon website does not reveal anything remotely like this.

Has anyone heard of this mysterious (and frankly lethal sounding) toy? Or any suggestions for keywords I can try on the Decathlon search function? So far “catapult” “archery” “arrows” and “glove” have not brought any success!

Oh you are right! That looks highly likely. The word “slingshot” never occurred to me at all. (I would never have described that thing in your picture as being like a “glove” either!)

I can’t for the life of me find it on the Decathlon website now though. Perhaps it genuinely was too lethal…?

Thank you very much! (I forgot to say this in my excitement)

Probably. Crossbows are highly regulated and this would surely come under that heading. The thought of young people using them in public parks... 😱
