Well Pat, I'm a novice whn it comes to bow hunting, last month I harvest my first doe with the Inferno crossbow at 20 yards n 2 wild pigs. For the money it was a great deal and experience for myself. He should have fun with it. Good luck

For the price I would recommend it for his first crossbow. You have crossbows and you have compound crossbows. It depends on how much you want to spend and your range. Also, keep in mind the replacement strings for the Barnett crossbows are more than double the cost verses the Inferno Fury.

My 18 year old daughter likes the bow alot. She is a new hunter to bow hunting so we are not sure yet how she will love it. I have been shooting this bow with her and I like it. Of coarse the arrows are not the greatest but they are good for practicing. We have had alot of fun with this bow so far.

I would say no. Barnett makes one that costs a little more and probably miles ahead quality wise that's the one I would look into. It's called a Barnett recruit

Do not know. I shoot a crossbow and it was awesome. my grandson shoots a long bow and had one on but he missed his shot. Sorry im no help.

He LIKES the crossbow but you should order extra "tips" and the arrows are too short to buy the broadhead and they broke first time used, they are 14 Inches SO HE JUST bought arrows in town and tips off amazon and it worked great

Yes! So far my son has had no problems using this bow, and has enjoyed learning archery with it!

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 would say yes. With the added bonus that as he/she gets older, the bow can be adjusted for draw length and weight. No need to bring it to a professional to adjust!

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.

this bow is more appropriate for younger kids, more like 7-10. For a 15yr old I'd be looking at a low end adult bow, maybe 40-60lb draw depending on the size of the boy. A decent take-down bow in the 35-40lb range might be a good option if you are looking at something portable and not compound

Yes, my daughter was 14 when she got hers and has had no trouble using it. There is a difficult spot, about halfway when drawing back that takes a little strength, but then it's smooth. But my daughter didn't find it difficult at all. I agree with the other reviewer, get some extra arrows and it's definitely a serious piece of gear, so be careful.

This bow in my opinion is strictly for youth. I am a bow hunter and I would not use it even if I got in a jam and needed one

this bow wuld be great for you. i have not measured the arrows but believe they are a regular length. My grandson is 10 and really likes it. the pull though is alittle stiff or tight but it is still new. I am very imppressed with the bow for the price.

It's pretty small for an 8 year old my 3 year old used it. Yes he's the size of a 6 year old but it was great for a starter bow.

No, but it has lasted 3 years now with no repairs needed except for a little duct tape on the string to keep it from unraveling. I still highly recommend it. The professionals at my archery store seemed to think it was a fine crossbow too.

It is a great bow. It is good for a child all the way up to an adult. My 12 year old is who ours belongs to, but my adult neighbor who owns one, and shoots competition archery is the one who suggested it to us. He said that since it is so adjustable he will never need another bow.

I bought this bow for my step dad in his 50 ' s and he loves it. He has it set at a 55 lbs draw weight so it has plenty of power

It might be small for a 14 and 17 year old. I think a bear apprentice might be better. It is a great beginer bow for older youth and young adults.

That depends on the child, I gave this bow to my great niece who was 10 at the time, she is now using an adult bow
