"My dog loves the rubber/toy type of toys but he likes this one as well. It is very durable but light and he can pick it up easily due to the material. Also has a squeaker though it seems a little small due to the thickness of the material. Great toy overall and a great price."

— Nita

"My 3 month old French bulldog had this tore open in less than 2 hours after opening the box and that wasn't with constant play. The outside of the ball just shreds."

Bottom Line

The Nerf Trackshot is fairly average, may be a nice gift but ultimately not considered a prime seller.
