My Wookie bow caster all of a sudden stopped shooting. The darts go about 5 feet. Could anyone give me any advice to fix this problem?

Nothing is wrong with that, that’s normal range for a Wookie bowcaster. Otherwise open it up and see if the tubing to the barrel has a hole in it or is damaged.

No way, the Bowcaster goes a bit farther than that. Can you post some pics or explain what went wrong? Like a big snap noise or dropped it?

Okay, what the hell does "not working mean"? Describe what happens. Does it even cock? Does it not latch? what happens when you pull the trigger Are you using bungies or just the tubes it already has?

The tube it already has. and it cocks and fires, but sometimes the dart doesn't even fire, or just goes 2-5 feet

If you have the bow arms on, try attaching 2 big rubber bands to each side. it really helps the range a lot.

Look. Let's stop wasting bytes here. Post pics, and post a firing vid. Otherwise, playing twenty questions is just going to waste time, annoy users, get you nowhere.

I got it to work. I removed the AR, and took out the trigger, so it's like an actual crossbow. I pull back the cocker and let go-fires about 25 feet!!
