During our practice Sarah used the Vortex the entire time and became quite good with the bow. I was able to gradually adjust her draw weight up until she could comfortably shoot the poundage necessary to successfully harvest a deer with this bow, provided the opportunity presented itself. The Vortex performed very well for Sarah throughout our time of shooting.
The adjustability features made it easy to start her at low poundage and then work up to hunting poundage 45 lbs is the min. We found the Vortex to shoot accurately, provided Sarah did her part and remained consistent. The bow was quiet, but I would recommend adding Limb Savers and String Silencers for hunting situations to make the Vortex all the more quiet.
This made it much easier to teach Sarah the basics of archery shooting because she had confidence that she could do it and do it well.
The Vortex enabled her to start out slowly, but grow into hunting situations with the bow. I spent considerably more money for their bows and did not really get any more for my money.
The Vortex is an excellent youth starter bow at great value for the price. Sarah loved this bow. She loved the way it looked and thought it was comfortable to shoot. Importantly, she just had a great time learning to shoot with the Vortex.
The adjustability features on the Vortex made it easy to fit the bow to her needs, but will also grow with her as she grows. We were all looking forward to her first hunt and unfortunately we were not successful at taking a deer with the Vortex this year, but we look forward to next season when Sarah will again try her archery skills on the whitetail using her new Vortex bow.
Thanks for the excellent review. Very comprehensive. As a result I purchased one of these bows for my 12 year old son. Let me just say that this bow is no toy. This bow is the real deal. With a couple of minor modifications by the archery store new sight, new arrow rest, a D loop, and new carbon fibre arrows my son is becoming quite the hunter.
We typically hunt feral wild dogs to prevent them killing sheep and cattle here in Australia. The Barnett Vortex delivered a clean pass through on a large dog set on just over 30 lbs draw weight shot by my son. Very impressive! Where can I find a video to set up Barrett compound bow from the very beginning for a person never used one before. Please help. Your email address will not be published.
Remember Me. Friday, February 3, Login Register. Its draw weight ranges from 16 — 45 pounds and is adjustable without the need of a bow press, concerning the manufacturer. Truth is , that the poundage depends on the draw length settings and that you will need a bow press if you want to set it to its maximum or minimum draw weight.
The poundage has to be adjusted with the included Allen wrenches by backing out the limb bolts. Clockwise tightens it and increases the poundage; counter-clockwise loosens and decreases it. You should never ever do more than 3 turns! As there is a lot of pressure on the Barnett Vortex it could fall apart if you loosen the bolts too much resulting in injury in the worst case.
It would be a good idea to to tighten the bolts before beginning to loosen them. Each bolt on each limb needs to have the same adjustments, so be carefull while doing it.
The cam modules B-F for the draw length adjustments can be easily changed. You only need a press if you want to set the draw length to the lower or upper end. Be careful and take your time when changing the modules as those could be damaged when getting too rough with them. Work them slowly out of place and back into place with a rocking motion.
One drawback is that there are specific ranges available with the cam modules inserts and limb bolt adjustments. If you want to go below 31 pounds you need to shorten the draw length accordingly. So in case you have a big personal draw length you cannot start with 25 lbs to work on proper form before raising the poundage. This let-off is big enough for beginners to learn proper form stance, back tension and to aim without being pulled forward by the power of the compound.
There was no information about the speed of the Barnett Vortex on the internet. This tells me that no one measured it after the IBO speed rating up to this point. Which makes sense as it is a starter compound for young archers. Bowhunting and youth bows. Well, as you all know each state has a different legal minimum draw weight that a compound needs to surpass to be allowed for hunting.
These minimum poundages can vary from 30 — 50 lbs depending on the state. As there is no speed rating of this youth model you cannot calculate numbers for the Kinetic Energy that it might reach but all in all its 45 lbs maximum draw weight seems to be too low for going after large game in my opinion. For bowhunting you will use heavier arrows that decreases speed and KE as well and there are a lot of other factors that bring the Kinetic Energy down as well field conditions, weather, distance etc.
As this is an entry-level compound recommended for young and beginning archers I would not try to kill a deer with it as it is to weak in my opinion. Even at 45 lbs draw weight you would need to be able to hit the game animal exactly where you want to vital organs and especially as a beginner that would be hard to do.
That goes for every game, does not matter if small or medium. As a bowhunter it is your responsibility to kill game in the most humane way possible — one shot, one kill in the best case. So learn to shoot well first!
As there are pre-drilled holes it should be possible to attach a bowfishing reel to this model without any problems. Its poundage is enough for penetrating the water and hitting the fish well.
With a price of under bucks the Barnett Vortex Youth Compound is a great option for entering the world of archery. With its wide adjustability it can be used by a young enough kid for years — growing up with it literally — and it can be passed along to the next generation easily as well. As I stated already the bow itself is sturdy and of a very high quality. The compromise you have to take is in the bad quality of the accessories coming with it.
But considering the small additional investment into better add-ons rest, sight etc. This model costs over three times as much as the Barnett Vortex. If I wanted to test if my kids were interested in archery at all I would buy a cheaper model in the first place.
If they keep their interest I can upgrade later in time if I wanted to. All in all I can say that the Barnett Vortex Youth Compound is a very good model to start out in archery — especially for youngsters that are 10 years and older.
For its rather small price you will get a well made, sturdy bow that will last for years if treated accordingly. And for an additional small investment you can make it into a very accurate little shooter that will get tight groups together with ease.
I hope you enjoyed reading this review! Thanks and shoot straight!
