A kit and method are provided for developing one's reflexes, which also may be used as a toy or game. The kit includes a strand, such as a nylon string, having a length greater than six feet and a given outside diameter, and at least one-and preferably a number of-tubular shuttles having a length of less than about a foot and having an inside diameter slightly greater than the outside diameter of the strand. A blinder, such as an eye patch or a batting helmet for restricting a user's peripheral vision, is provided too. Hooks or clasps may be provided at the ends of the strands to facilitate attachment, and a turnbuckle can be utilized to adjust the tension of the strand. The shuttles may be plastic tubes that are slit along their length for easy attachment or detachment, and may have streamers attached to them. In use, one end of the strand is attached higher than the second end or a central portion of the strand, and the shuttle is slid upwardly on the strand. The user faces the strand, and as the shuttle approaches moves his/her hand toward the strand to grasp the shuttle. The blinder prevents the user from seeing the shuttle until it is almost at the user's position. When used as a game, a second player slides the shuttle down the strand, trying to get it past the first player.
