The Vortex steps up a notch with a wide draw weight range from 19 to 45 pounds, and draw length adjustment from 21 to 27 inches. With such a wide range of adjustability, the Vortex is great starter bow that can carry a young archer right into teen years, and even into the woods if hunting is in the youngster’s future.

Finally, the Vortex Hunter is a big-game-ready powerhouse, perfect for teens who are ready to take on the challenge of hunting in the field with mom or dad. With a draw weight range of 45 to 60 pounds, this bow will not be under-powered taking on even the biggest bucks. Draw length is adjustable from 26 to 30 inches.
