Playmaker Toys - Flying Screaming Flingshot Slingshot Animal Novelty Plush Doll Toy, Launches up to 50 Feet (Cow)

We used these cows as the shooter part of the 'shoot down tin cans' activity at a cowboy/cowgirl birthday party for a five-year old. We used big targets like instant breakfast cans and milk jugs with paper labels for "beans" and "fire water" on them. Every kid, including the two-year old and twelve-year old siblings, could figure out a way to play so they could have fun: some stood directly in front of the target and just threw the cow, some stood farther back and worked on artistic trajectory. Whatever method launched it, the cow made a great mooing sound. Why did I write 'educational'? There is a bit of cause and effect to learn about putting your fingers properly in the hoof pockets, and holding your front fingers pointed straight at your target. Some kids worked harder than others to get it, and when they did 'get it', they were really proud - and really accurate. So they stepped back farther to keep a challenge. Great game, engaged the kids for a long time, took only a few grownups to keep going (leaving the rest of the grownups could enjoy the saloon in peace). Do not pull back on just the tail or you will create sadness and failure - pull back holding both rear legs. Not one of the ten cows failed us during the party, and the kids were ecstatic that they could take the cows home as favors too. I was hesitant at first since the company doesn't consolidate shipping costs on multiple items, but the overall price for a favor+activity that is so great is still under $5 each. Because I've accidentally become a connoisseur of flingshot animals, I'll say that the superfly monkey does a much better job of actually flying (monkeys have greater length, hence stretch, than cows...just nature I suppose) and the screaming monkey sound is hysterical. But for this party, the cows (and their 'moos') were in theme and, well, a great big ... 'hit'.

The kids loved them, their dad not so much! HaHaHa

I bought this Moo Cow for my Minature Pincher and she loves, loves, loves it. It is her favorite toy and she has tons of toys, but this one is her favorite. She plays with it for hours. Now she shakes all her toys like crazy to try and make them Moo too. When ever I'm on the phone she has to have this one Mooing in the back ground and who ever I'm talking to has a good laugh over it. I bought it for her when she was about 8 weeks old, she's 6 months old now and takes this with her from room to room through out the house, she is never with out it. I am actually buying her 2 more for back up's just incase this one stops Mooing.It has really held up considering the beating it gets. If I ask my dog where "Moo Cow" is she runs and gets it. I have had as much fun with watching her play with it as she has playing with it and making the Cow Moo. It has truly been great fun for her and everyone who see's her with it or hears it over the phone.If it can hold up to a 6 month old Minpin playing with it, it can hold up to anything! It has been an ideal toy for her.If she takes it out to the back yard I tell her to bring Moo Cow back in the house and she does. It's not allowed outside because I don't want her to lose her fsvorite toy. It has been a lot of fun and gives her good a of exercise work out too running and shaking it to mske it moo. I recommend it for pets actually, it's a fun toy for mine.

These are a riot to sling around and a lot of fun. They are not very expensive and some of them fail to work after just a few uses. This is a shame, but easier to deal with due to the price. They make noises when you shoot them. In this case they moo. Kids are entertained, and dogs are highly entertained. They will not last long in the mouth of any "highly entertained" dog though.We used them in a Monty Python themed event to simulate the catapulted cows from a certain movie. If your a python fan you know what I am talking about. Crazy Fun

My mini schnauzer ripped the eyes off and pulled the hand off in 10 minutes, not a good dog toy!

We purchased one of these cows several years ago and it has been a favorite of our little dogs. I noticed that a lot of reviews said it was difficult to pull and that the finger holds broke. We never really used the finger holds to fly the cow. Just hang onto one foot in front of you and pull the other foot back as far as you can. When you release the back foot, toss the front foot forward. No, he doesn't fly face forward, but who cares! Boy does it fly and it is easy to do once you get the knack of it. I can fly this cow about 20 feet down a long hallway and the doggies go nuts!After several years our cow is missing an ear and a rear foot but it still "moos" loudly when it hits the ground.Definitely worth the money. We will be getting other flying animals to replace it because quite frankly, I am tired of hearing "Moooo"

He loved this toy. Rubber band broke shortly after receiving it but I just flung him with one arm. Still a hit.

Very cute toy and good to get some giggles from the kids. Our flying cow ripped (at the seam where the cow hands connect to the rubber line) after 5 uses (or flings across the room). We restitched the ripped seam and reinforced the other. The toy is still going strong.The rip happened from regular use so I recommend keeping an eye out when in use.
