This bow is not for hunting. Most state regulation require at LEAST a 30 lb draw. This bow draw is up to 29lb. This bow is intended for youths. I would say ages 10-12 yr old and younger. Great starter bow if you intend your youngster to continue shooting/hunting as they get older. Which a different bow will need to be purchased.

No this is a bow for a child, not strong enough for hunting either. A great beginner bow.

It is designed for small children. I doubt that they could hunt more than neighborhood vermin to be very honest. It's a great bow for your kids to learn the right way and to start living the dream.

This is a youth bow, it has a very short draw length (12"-24") and the pull weight is only 29 pounds not legal for hunting. So not for use by adults. It is a great bow to start children on.

Yes. It's a great value, a functional bow for target practice but not too intense. It's large and legitimate.

I hope this isn't getting to you too late... The bow measures 45" tall, but the draw length is only 18-22". An adult is fine using it playing with kids, but if this is going to be your sole bow, you should get one with a longer draw length for accuracy & so you can fully draw back on it, otherwise it won't fit you quite right.

I bought this bow as my first bow so I could grow both in strength and in skill with this bow. It so far has served me well and I got it for a very good price here on amazon Its the Barnett Vortex 45-Pounds Youth Archery Bow (Camo). Its a good deal all around for a first bow. you can turn down the draw weight until you get better and stronger. then turn it up. You can hunt with this bow, its that strong.

I don't hunt but I use mine for target archery. If you range on the animal first then set your site, you should be good.

This is technically a youth bow, however take into account the draw strength and the person who will be using it. There is a wide range of draw levels but I would make sure that the archer using it is able to safely pull on this prior to purchase.

This bow is called a compound bow. It is very much like the ones used in hunting. The three strings make it easier for a person to draw back the arrow as compared to a single string premitive bow. It is a great beginner bow. Use the arrows that the manufacter suggests. They can be bought at Amazon.

It is not good to train to hunt. It is good to teach kids and young teens how a bow works in general and to practice learning to aim. The accuracy and distance achievable on this bow is definitely not anything you would want to hunt with, but it is good to introduce kids to learning the basic mechanics of archery.

It is a good beginner bow for children to learn how to use a compound bow and sights. My nine year old granddaughter was able to use this bow very well. I believe it is worth the money.

No this is not all ideal for a young adult. The bow length and tension are suited to a much younger boy. It's best to go to a sports/outfitter center and consult with an archery department type person who can help you to determine what would work best from the adult section.

The 12" length of pull is too short for hunting and clay shooting. It's a short stock and would work fine for children or police/military in body armor. For a full grown person, it would be uncomfortable to shoot regularly and you'll probably bust your nose with your thumb if you shoot it enough.

It depends on the age but it is definitely a simple yet accurate bow and at a great price. The 55-70# is perfect for me but I know someone small or not as strong may struggle with the initial pull back.

Christian,Thank you for your question! Yes a youth bow can be used for adults. However, the determining factors would be draw length (how far can the consumer pull the bow back) and draw weight (that is the amount of tension on the string).Please let us know how we can further help you! Merry Christmas!Carrie Simpsoncustomerservice@BigGameGear.com

We purchased it for our 8year old daughter who had difficulty at 1st but is now shooting arrows with no problem. That being said, I tried it when she first got it and it was difficult for me to shoot it and I am a 40+ active female. It is good quality so I would say yes it is good for an adult starting out.

For sure--I have bought several of these bows for Boy Scouts and adult leaders to use because we have a set of six targets set up for archery. They have proven to be very functional and fun.
