Bowhunting success starts with a good shooting foundation, and for young hunters that means a bow suited to their size and strength. With a customizable draw weight from 19 to 45 pounds (with 60- to 70-percent let-off), 7-inch brace height and draw length from 22 to 27-inches, the compact Barnett Vortex compound youth bow — 28 inches axle to axle — grows with the teenage hunter’s needs. This versatile bow is outfitted with all the features young hunters need as they get serious about archery hunting, and it looks the part in a newly updated Mossy Oak Break-Up Country wrap.

The right-hand Vortex features a three-pin fiber-optic sight, capture arrow rest, three 28-inch aluminum arrows and a three-arrow quiver. MSRP: $229.99. Contact: www.barnettcrossbows.com
