Rated 4 out of 5Â by kynatural1 A nice bow
It's a nice bow, but it benefits greatly with the addition of a Whisker Bisquit since the arrows aren't stable on the rest. The arrows on the other hand are terrible. They are so thin that they bend when impacting soft ground at an angle upon misses to the target at distances of ten yards.. Furthermore, the inserts were all loose and the fletching was not properly installed. It's far too nice a bow to match with those junky arrows. It would be to Barnet's benefit to include quality arrows in the kit. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this bow and I think it will serve my granddaughter well for quite a few years.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Firediver57 Bow is good but.....
The bow itself is good and when you figure out how to adjust it the bow is better. The sights are fairly good but the rest not so must. The is stabilized by gravity and for a new shooter falls off too easy. The arrows are pure junk. First shot on all three and the points all came off. The kit/carry case is a nice idea but not really necessary. I would buy a whisker bisquit and some good arrows and then shoot the bow. Also I thought the kit would have an arm guard (I don't know why I thought that) but it doesn't so get one if you buy this setup.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by genern Great starter bow
I bought this bow for my 9 year old daughter who has outgrown the little $20 green bow I got her earlier this year. I replaced the mediocre arrow rest with a Whisker Biscuit, and it works great. This bow is easy to adjust with the replaceable cams, and the allen wrenches all come with it. The arrows are not great, but they work fine. I had the guys at Basspro put a nock loop on and serve the string, so she could use a release, which works great. She has shot about 50 arrows through it in the last 2 days, and so far it performs flawlessly and has plenty of power to keep her going for a while!!

how much grain is recommended for the broad heads?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
For short distance shooting, feel free to use a 125gr but if you're shooting longer distances (60yds+), I recommend the 100gr tips
A:Â
I don't know what is recommended, but we use 100 or 110 grain with much success. You would obviously want to try to match the weight of your field points.Details:Â
i have a bow now but it is to small and does not say what hand on the package.Answers

A:Â
which hand do you use to write? As for Canada's hunting regulations, that's on you. I would think it would fulfill any and all requirements for every nation, but you may want to double check your local hunting laws and regs.A:Â
Here is a simple test to find your dominant eye. Stand a good distance (25 yards or more) from a telephone pole and put your thumb up like you are hitchhiking. Line your thumb up with the pole with both eyes open. Close your left eye without moving your thumb. Open your left eye and close your right eye. You will find the pole and thumb stayed lined up with one eye and the pole jumped out from behind your thumb with the other. The one that kept the pole behind it is your dominate eye. If it was your right shoot right handed; if it was the left shoot left handed. good luck.A:Â
If you hold the bow in your left hand, you are a right handed shooter. If you hold the bow in your right hand, you are a left handed shooter. Not sure about laws in Canada.A:Â
You need it handed to what hand you pull the string back with, so if you hold the bow in your left-hand and pull the string back with your right, you need right-handed. You use your dominant eye to shoot a bow with, so if you normally shoot a gun left-handed, you might shoot a bow left-handed, but not always.A:Â
Sammy your bow should be setup to be held in your weak hand and drawn with you dominant hand. For example I shoot left handed. I draw the string with my left hand and hold the bow in my right hand. Figure out which of your hands is dominant (the one you eat and write with) and pick the bow up with the other hand. If it fits you are ok. Most bows have a thumb groove in the bow that will fit the correct hand. There are a few youth bows out there that will fit either hand. Have no idea about the Canada part.
A:Â
The arm/hand you use most would be the one you would need, for instance if you throw, eat, shave, right handed then you would want the right hand.This bow says it is not restricted for Canada.

I really like the Redhead BlackOut carbon fiber arrows. As for broadheads, I like the 3 blade fixed broadheads by Allen. You can't kill them and they're tough as nails (literally)A:Â
My daughter uses the Redhead X5 Envy in 400 size and 100grain field tips. They work great.A:Â
Carbon arrows and probably 85gr. (because it's a common weight)A:Â
100 grain seemed to work best especially if you have a longer draw length which gives you a longer arrow. The common carbon arrow will be best.Q:Â

i was wondering if you buy the barnett vortex at bass pro shop will it be set a 45 lb draw weight?
Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
they will set it at whatever draw weight you are comfortable with. I recommend buying in person, so they can set your draw length while you're there and cut your arrows to your draw.A:Â
No matter what weight it is set at, this bow is designed to make the changes for your particular draw weight easily and without a bow press. The cams are labelled, and the directions tell you which set to use for your particular draw weight. The tools required for the change are also provided. I was surprised at how easily this could be done.A:Â
The weight is tied to the draw length with moduals and 3 settings on the cam. It comes with the cam set in the moddle so it will not go to 45 without moving this to the + location and it requires a press. Shop moved it for me at no charge.A:Â
I bought one for my son's birthday, and was told by customer service that they'll set it up for him, so you should be able to have them do the same.Answers

That depends on how long your draw is. If your bow is set at a 29" draw you will want to get 29" arrows. I've used expensive arrows and found they don't out perform the Redhead Blackout X5 carbon fiber arrows. You can get a half dozen of these for under $40A:Â
The length of the arrow is determined by the draw length of the shooter. The "best" arrows are a matter of opinion. We prefer carbon Redhead x5 Envy.A:Â
Your arrow will depend on your personal draw length. We have tried carbon, but the alum. seem to shoot more consistent, so that is what we use. The practice arrows for competitions do not seem consistent enough either.A:Â
The arrow length depends on your draw length. I've heard that the arrows that come with aren't the best, but the staff at the store should be able to help with arrow selection.A:Â
i have and like the easton flatline carbon arrows and the bass pro store tech measured my draw and custom cut at 27 inches, that differs so you should go to a store if one is within reach, if not make a trip to vegas! the stores are the most amazing thing you may have ever seenDetails:Â
I'm a 14 year old boy and I was looking for a good bow. The draw weight and draw length seem pretty expandable so I think I'm good on that part, but what about the axle to axle weight? I don't know if it would be to small for me. If so, what do you think a good bow would be for me?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
Barnett makes some good bows. At 14 years old, you could handle a full size bow. I would recommend the PSE Stinger. It's adjustable from 45-70#'s and the draw is adjustable from 25-30"A:Â
this bow would be great for you as i am 14 and its the best bow i have used!A:Â
I think you mean axle to axle height. And it's not too small for you, unless you're over 6 1/2 feet tall. This bow will adjust out to 27inches in draw length. So unless you're very tall and long armed, I think this bow would work well for you.A:Â
Our 14 year old son uses this bow and it is perfect for him, he is on the small side, and our 11 year old uses one also. I am a grown woman, fairly strong, and I use my sons' bows.A:Â
My son is 12 and he is using this bow to learn. It seems to work great for him since he grows several inches a day. LOL It is very easy to adjust draw length which is the really important part while learning to shoot a bow. The draw weight can be increased gradually once you get the basics down pat. My experience with him is that by the time he has grown enough to handle more weight than this bow he will need a longer draw length anyway. I highly recommend this bow for beginning youth.Answers

Depends on if you're shooting parallel to the earth or lobbing it out into a field for nothing more than max distance. They are effective out to 80yds at 60#A:Â
Probably further than you can aim accurately. We shoot it at 20 pounds draw weight, and it will carry a carbon arrow with a 100grain tip easily over 20 yards without issue.A:Â
Distance is a direct result of arrow weight and draw weight. With youth type arrows you should be able to go 30 yards or so accurately at 25 pounds and 40-45 yards at 45 pounds.A:Â
Out to 45 yards with ease
