Snowball Launching Crossbow for $24.99

Feb 11, 2012 1:57 PM

Time to go medieval!
Launch your snowballs at your foes with the power of a crossbow.
Not only flings your balls far, but it also looks pretty dang intimidating.
Bow folds up for easier running and gunning.

If only I still lived somewhere where it snowed.
Sigh

Now if only I could get some snow ... I'm worried I may end up mowing my lawn by the end of the month the way this winter is (not) going.

@gt0163c: Me too, and I live in Minnesota.

This has been a really strange winter.

In the product video they use hostess sno-balls to great effect. So snow not required.

Meh, the video shows that the other guy threw it the same distance with less effort.

@chandin: Just gonna say that. I mean sure you don't have to get your hands cold, but if it barely shoots a baked good 50 feet at most, how far would something heavier fly?

Anyone have any video using this with snow? I would love to see how well it really works before purchasing. Might be good for a cubical gun.

Purchase said baked good from vending machine (I bet it would launch Twinkies as well)
Launch at coworkers from a far.

@tsfisch: That may be why these are on sale; nobody (in the US, at least) has enough snow to use one. I heard the lakes in Hennepin County were recently closed off to vehicle traffic due to unsafe ice; that is disheartening that the winter there was that bad this year. I'm supposed to see a lot of snow in an average winter where I live now, but at this rate I suspect I'll be mowing my lawn at the end of February.

@mkentosh: Just make sure you don't mix this crossbow with the one from the BudK deals.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
