A snowball fight can be all in good fun, but sometimes you need to give yourself a completely unfair advantage so that you can have more fun at the expense of other people getting hit with a mound of snow to the face. In case you didn't want to take this impressive [snowball fight arsenal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-snowy-cheese-balls) centerpiece into battle, it also comes with a [vinyl target](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caldwell-clays-app) to hone your lethal snowball accuracy. This [snowball launching crossbow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-fitter-smart-archery-and-shooting) is the perfect way to turn a boring old neighborhood snowball fight into a perfect re-enactment of Game of Thrones, or perhaps the battle of Stirling.
