Barnett vortex hunter review

[@user-de8oi1td2o]

The couch arrived in two boxes four days early, which was great because we'd just moved into a new house and needed places to sit. My son and I put it together pretty quickly kzbin.infoUgkxitRzxya-XugamYgLwa_2G1gxPg4MCJHa . Another reviewer suggested inserting the seat into the side and I'm glad they did as the instructions weren't clear on that matter. It's incredibly light and slides easily across the wood floor, making it easy to move. It's firm, but comfortable. It will even be great to nap on. I got the gray, which definitely has strong blue undertones, but I'm okay with that.

[@zachhanner8620]

Nice review man. I've had my bow for two seasons and I love it. There definitely is a stigma about the bow and the quality because you can buy it at Walmart and other places for around $200, but this is one of those great occasions where you really can get a decent bow for a reasonable price. I did end up switching out the rest and sites to a whisker biscuit and a Truglu three pin set up. The quiver that came with the bow was not too bad, but with the new site my arrows were touching on the mount so I swapped it over to a detachable Truglo quiver. Also I added some string dampeners to quiet it down a little and it's just as quiet as the other bows my buddies are shooting. Over all I'm really glad I got the bow and even after I bought some accessories I still saved money compared to other bows in that size and price range. Don't let people tell you its a kids bow or its a badly made bow. Iv'e had some people make comments about it but when they see the groups this bow makes at 40 yards they quiet down pretty quick. Happy hunting

[@ohsnapitsmikey953]

I'm looking into getting this bow.. great review, it really helped. 5 stars.

[@davidewer4060]

Excellent presentation Miles; You sold me on the Bow! I have been bow hunting since I was a kid. Now I am 61 still havn fun. Thank you. Dave Ewer

[@newyorksheepdog8572]

Thank you Sir for this review I found this bow at Wal-Mart and did not purchase it just off the strength that it was a Wal-Mart bow but from what i See it is functional and inexpensive. Thank you once again for taking the time to make this video and shed some light on this product. This helps out the average man or woman who does not have 450 + dollars to spend on a bow.

[@trianglechokes]

I have the same bow I bought it last year and I killed two within the first week of season with it (my first deer with a bow too) I use the nap bloodrunners 2 1/8 and both deer where at about 35 to 40 yards and one dropped where it stood and the other only ran about 15 yards and fell . for the money this bow is pure awesome I did change my arrow rest to a whisker biscuit and it improved my groups some at 40 yards hope you have as much fun with it as I did last year and hope to this year . id recommend it to anyone who wants to get a good bow for a great price!!!

[@spacepirateivynova]

For whatever reason I could never get used to sights on a bow. I prefer open visuals and have always practiced/shot that way. I just got this bow (using Victory VAP arrows with blazer vanes and field points right now for target shooting) and first thing I did was replace the cheapy arrow rest it came with with an olympic style flipper center rest (what I'm used to). Great bow for both hunting and target shooting. It has some serious power for the price. Keeping in mind I'm stepping up from a 45 pound recurve bow, so I am still getting used to the fact that the compound ALWAYS draws the same length and ALWAY shoots the same way.

[@johnnybotello4304]

this is the best review of this bow. you made me buy one lol. now i am trying to set itup like yours

[@camouflagehunter3104]

Would be a good drinking game... whenever you say "uhm" you have to drink a shot XD

[@edimusprime7491]

Nice shooting and nice review. I've been looking at one of these for a while now. I've seen them for 180 shipped. I don't have a big budget so I think this is the one for me.

[@davidgriffin223]

Nice review man 👍🏻 That was a pretty good group at 30 yards. I've had that bow for about a year now and it hasn't let me down yet

[@toyztoyz7970]

this had to be the most honest video i've seen. it is a cheaper bow and it will kill a deer with no issues. the noise they're referring to is not cam noise.....its the mechanical rest. it can be fixed with felt. but anyhow....great review and it is all about the shooter

[@Raptorduder]

The squeak sound as he pulls 'was' the cams. Even my bow on my Vortex did that. Sprayed some WD-40 and it removed the squeak sound. But you're also right some felt or padding on the raiser can remove click thump from a dropaway arrow rest. But this rest can be put far back it barely touches the riser shelf and it's slap is quieted by a rubber tubing on the break screw. Besides pulling the bow back the rest is pretty silent.

[@Twobrothersoutdoors]

I bought one of these bows before last hunting season. Everything you said is true but the accuracy of long shots. The bow is only 28" axle to axle, being that short one must get used to the bow and be very steady. The bow is very capable of accuracy out to 60 yards with no problem. On a bow scale my max bow pull weight is 64.7 lbs, hold is 8 lbs, that is about 85% let off. Using a carbon express arrows @ 9.9 gpi, 100 grain points/broad heads, total arrow weight @ 443 grains. I chrono @ 276 fps. The kenetic energy is @ 70.1 flbs. plenty enough for any big game in the USA. For the money this bow cannot be beat. I am in my late 50's, been hunting archery for over 20 years. I have owned hoyts exclusively. I bought the 45lb vortex for my wife and liked it so much I decided to buy the hunter. I really like this easy to carry, easy to hold at draw bow. I have dropped hogs, coyote and deer without a problem. Hoping for a bear this season..............BTW for hunting plan on buying a good quality, rest, sights, and quiver.

[@TREN_FOR_BREAKFAST]

no reason to shoot 60 yards

[@Twobrothersoutdoors]

@@TREN_FOR_BREAKFAST I'll have to disagree, we shoot many 3d shoots where 80 shots are not uncommon. As for hunting, 40 yds is my max.

[@TREN_FOR_BREAKFAST]

@@Twobrothersoutdoors yeah i shouldve clarified i meant in a hunting situation. mine is 40 max as well. anything beyond that and im not comfortable taking a shot

[@patty109109]

Thx for the review, and nice grouping.

[@blooboy6749]

Got mine 60$ w. Mart new whisker biscuit n sight n things, im in it for 100$. Most fortunate I am for a poor boy. Great video n hey from Tennessee.

[@kimberlystewart73]

Still can't believe your gone.. RIP Shane.. We 💓 You!

[@shaneroberts1886]

The bow is only up to 62.7 lb draw weight. 3in1 oil fixes the screeching noise.

[@deerjerky2000]

I've got the same bow, so far I love it, I plan to hunt with it this year, now that I know that this bow is accurate at 30 yards, it helps me out a lot, nice video

[@sammyloc3074]

can it kill an elk

[@karrsonreed5804]

Yes it can any bow with a 45 lbs pull and the right arrow will kill anything in north america

[@renelopez2244]

Holy smokes that's nice. Not bad for a budget bow. Puts more money in my pocket for gear. Excellent review

[@michaelgoldsberry9448]

On sale at Academy right now for 99.99

[@garymartin5990]

A bow is what you make it to be. I've shot the barrett vortex hunter 45/60 and I liked it. Shoots nice just a little bit to small at 28.5 inches axle to axle

[@allandubose8660]

that bow would have to IBO at 350 for that kind of speed . more realistic it's shooting 240's. JS :)

[@bhuntn4life]

Miles that screeching noise you get when you pull that bow back yes I could here that my Granson jus went yesterday and bought one and it's the same so I have a bow shop and I'm setting it up for him and I put (Neats Foot Oil on the Cam axels ) and bonning cam ez on the string around the cam and NO MORE NOISE.

[@shaneroberts1886]

And yes I say umm a million times. It's quite comical watching myself say it.

[@adashawilliams1233]

umm, it was still fun umm to watch, umm thank you umm for posting this umm video

[@spencerwells1328]

i didnt notice until the end haha then couldnt stop hearin it

[@kimberlystewart73]

Hearing this video made my day.. We miss you so much Shane.. RIP

[@JB-dj1vn]

This guy that posted this comment isn’t the guy that posted this vid just so u guys know

[@mr.bojangles6669]

just bought it. add peep, New sight and arrow rest, and your good to hunt.

[@shaneroberts1886]

Bad chrono on that 318 fps. Ran it thru two others and was getting 281 avg. Still more than enough to kill a deer. And still an awesome bow for the price.

[@itsnicholas1526]

very helpful trying to get the best beginner bow for a low prise

[@TexasRigged]

I snagged a Barnett Hunter Extreme from Walmart for $75 or so. Broke it out today to start practicing

[@DroJager]

1st of all I'd like to say ,good job on the review. been looking at getting into bow hunting myself, secondly I'd like to say go DAWGS!

[@jaythewolf2323]

I live in Georgia and just bought same bow for this hunting season

[@hbrhodes1s]

Great review! I, too, was wondering about the modules and his that works

[@shaneroberts1886]

At 28" draw it would be arojnd 290-300 overall length is 28 3/4 axle to axle weight bare is 4.6 lbs

[@aaronhuff4484]

Good quick review thanks

[@briandickerson3243]

He says "um" about 30, 000 times I just got this same bow

[@spokaneskate]

42 times

[@shaneroberts1886]

I havent had to change mine but th manual tells u how to do it its just two screws on each module they come right out its pretty easy no bow press required

[@jameslindsey666]

Um...uh...omm..ah...um...uuh... Get that shit under control! just playin thanks for making the vid, im thinking about buying this bow

[@jakeells66]

Take a shot every time he says um... Wait bad idea you'll be drunk a minute in.

[@huntinglife5202]

Great review brother. Plenty of info there.Thank you.

[@paulsmith1981]

Excellent presentation, thanks.

[@shaneroberts1886]

Edimus prime if you dont have a big budget this is the bow for you i have since the review added a qad ultra rest ld and string decelerator also shooting easton bloodline 400 7.7 gpi arrows and increased draw length to 30.25 327fps this bow is no joke man post a review when ya get one

[@edimusprime7491]

I just won one on eBay man! !35 shipped brand new! Can't wait to get it.

[@muddymoriveroutdoors3353]

I'm on 6 years with mine and it's an awesome bow

[@jameshelms9875]

I have this exact same bow set at 28 and half inch draw at 60 lbs of pull using the mossy oak yellow and white blazer fetching 500 grain arrows with a green swacker 100 grain broadhead I getting 330 average fps have my pins set at 20 30 and 40 yards

[@aimeagle]

No no no! Video proof or I call hard BS. Some of the best super bows can't even touch 330 lol. Come on man.

[@jameshelms9875]

Mine dose call bs all ya want ain't got to prove nothing ik what mine shoots tested the fps on 2 different cronagraphs.

[@aimeagle]

@@jameshelms9875 okay man lol. Look up some of the newest baddest bows made right here on KZbin. The fastest ibo hit on a chrono was 350ish. With a actual hunting arrow they were lucky to hit 300fps. But again, it's your story, tell it how you want lol.

[@jonathanyates5198]

@@jameshelms9875 500 is the spine rating, higher the spine number, lighter the arrow. 500 mossy oak is too lite of arrow for 60# and I'm surprised you haven't destroyed that bow. Think about it, 500 grains is a very heavy hunting arrow for animals like elk. I had a diamond victory 29.5" draw length, 60# draw and could shoot only around 255fps with a 450 grain arrow

[@josephchester8196]

I live in Georgia and archery season is realllly close now about two weeks and I'll be layin em down

[@kevinbishop9100]

This video really helped a lot. Thanks man

[@shawnrohrer6722]

thank you for the advice James. I'll make sure I'll write that down so I'll always have a reminder. When you're talking about a bear, boar, and an elk. You're talking about adult size correct? I just want to make sure lol. it's better to be safe than sorry.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Great peace to you fellow bow hunter Myles.

[@myleslamb7298]

+Musser's Outdoors thats because i gave him a look when he said that.

[@joshuaprice9479]

The average Hoyt or Mathews does good to shoot 325 at your specifications much less a 200 dollar bow

[@piruhernandez8727]

He said um a million times

[@marctremblay5864]

Hi thanks for the video, I'm really interested by that bow, I wanted to know if you recommend buying an arrow rest for that bow?

[@powerman500000]

good review wanting to get into archery myself personally

[@Crimson_aries88]

Nice shot the bow seems very decent

[@shaneroberts1886]

Yea this is the guy in the video i love this bow i have added a qad ultra ld rest to it and a string stop also i am shootibg eastob bloodline 7.7 gpi at 29 in arrows total weight 323 im shooting 327fps now super fadt and quiet i have another video also of the fps test w tje chrono app for android

[@juankvallejos3210]

you could upload a video on how to change the draw of barnett vortex hunter

[@dolixoaoluxo1362]

Please could you say whats the spine of the arrow that you are using? Thank you very much

[@dandruff4831]

hey miles and shane will you guys do another video of showing the vortex hunter in the field shooting a deer and also the set up of the bow thank you

[@myleslamb7298]

Dan Druff unfortunately shane was killed in a motorcycle accident.

[@dandruff4831]

ohhhh my I am so sorry to hear that man I will keep his family in prayer

[@myleslamb7298]

Dan Druff thanks man hes been gone for about 2 months now. he was my best friend and being a paul bearer for him was an honor but the hardest thing ive ever had to do.

[@SuperEvilmonkey88]

Well that sucks. Was he busy studdering with “umm” when he was killed by a cager? No offense. He placed a nice group. I have a Vortex Hunter to play with and 3” groups at 40 yds after setting the crap sights... Top of the line it ain’t but if you sight it.... you MIGHT drop a deer at 25 yds literally out of the box. Sights suck, rest sucks. Change them. Otherwise a decent bow for entry level.

[@allaroundoutdoors3248]

Your a good shot man!!!

[@sharkiesgirl8929]

have you been able to quiet that bow up? pretty loud. dont know about tree stand deer might jump the string.

[@mikejordan1557]

thanks for the review

[@robgilley1144]

Good to see another Georgia boy.

[@diegovraimer]

great video, that bow is big game? Can you hunt a medium deer? Thank you .

[@allandubose8660]

and if you notice the target was only 33 steps not yards away. around 22 yards

[@GiveToTheFire]

+Allan DuBose maybe you have short legs

[@micro-pigoffroadclub8387]

Definitely not 30 yards.

[@jonathanyates5198]

You people can't tell how far the target is on a video

[@stepz1876]

throughout the whole video he says hmmmmm and ummmmm

[@lincolngilsilva]

After all this time the bow is still working well? I tried to buy one like this but I didn't find a seller that sends to Brazil with a real paying price. Better and more cheap going to U.S than get it by Ebay. Incredible..... One bow like this to me is sold for about U$ 550,00. Come on!!!!! I Would pay until U$ 100,00 with shipping. Passing this price no way... Regards from Amazon, Brazil.

[@diegovraimer]

How far do the arrows have to be for this arch? How many arrows in diameter? the arrowheads have to be 100 gr? Thank you.

[@parmorama]

Damn fine shooting 👍

"UM" great review. Thumbs up.

[@jacobcarrillo7896]

Found one on ebay for cheap . I wanna get into hunting im.prob gonna buy this bow

[@bdogz9992]

So i got the same exact bow except how do you install the peep sight...the string thats on it is red and black and it did not have a peep sight on it...

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

I just watched the video. I was glad to see the young man smiling. It was a hard hit to then read he was in that accident. Yahweh give strength to his family. That Hurts. Revelation 20. All who've lived and died are going to be raised up again. The vast majority of us bow benders and bike sliders are going to live for ever. The peace that surpasses all understanding to every one of us. Dammit.

[@shawnrohrer6722]

thanks for doing the review. I'm starting to get hooked on archery . I'm trying find a bow i can use to practice and hunt deer. Does the bow have enough power to kill a adult size wild boar and elk?

[@jameslindsey666]

40lbs for white tail, 50lbs for bigger game. Yes this will kill a boar, bear, or elk. Id recommend keeping it under 50 yards though.

[@myleslamb7298]

He has since the video changed his arrows to the easton bloodlines and has gained 2-5 feet per second.

[@redchaos71]

Thinking about buying this bow for my dad to get him into bow hunting with me just wanted to know if you had success hunting with this bow and if it is capable of taking hogs and deer

[@myleslamb7298]

He hasn't hunted with it yet but our deer season starts next Saturday the 13th

[@redchaos71]

oh okay is adjusting the bows draw weight and length easy or do you have to take it in a pro shop

[@myleslamb7298]

Draw weight no and it comes with modules to change draw length but I'd recommend taking it to a pro shop.

[@jaydennaisbitt8504]

im going to get that now

[@renelopez2244]

Nice shooting

[@KillingStuffWithJosephJackson]

Apparently the chronograph you used sucks!!! My friend has this bow and has a 26" draw 55lbs shooting a 380 grain arrow 200fps!!!! Not even trying to downgrade the bow! It will still kill a deer! It is all in placement, but there is no way your getting 320 and a lot of people would agree with me! The bow IBO is like 260!

[@terrelllarue927]

does your bow do that where the string is grinding on the that bar were the string crosses

[@irishmo87]

just put the d modules on mine to change to 28" draw. well one broke. right at the thin part. it's all tightened down and ain't moving even after a few shots. any advice on what to do?

[@DIEorSK87273]

Is this a good bow for youth hunters just getting into compound bows?

[@jasondonceel1317]

hey shane whats the easiest way to replace the modules? i just bought one today and its set with the F module and the draw is to long.

is this the youth model? that's all I can find in the vortex hunter model and if so what is your hight? I'm 5'11

[@Senno_101]

Iv just bought this bow and I'm in the UK 🇬🇧 It says it 60lb weight but mine measured at 72.5lb and my club says it's too Powerfull to shoot there 😂 so how come mine more than others?????????

[@mersanary]

does he still use that bow?? I'm thinking about getting that bow as my Third bow.... i shot 1 before, it has some real power... i mean it can pop any big game animal. i wanted to know the durability of the bow tho

[@Nerfe3d]

I can hear those cam making noise. Best use for fun or target, for hunt you might have problem.

[@parkerhamiltonmusic]

i was thinking the same thing.. those cams are making noise and when he draws it back, that thing looks like its about to bust

[@adrianscharer7635]

I have the same bow and I also had issues with the noise of the cams. After a little yoke tuning its absolutly quiet now. I agree with some other people here and say that there is no way to reach 320fps with this bow. Should be around 260-270 @ the max draw weight and length. Still a very good bow for the price! Double cam bow with a yoke system let's you make a lot of adjustements. But as he said in the video, you need a few adds such as a better sight and another rest.

[@deutschekartoffel6768]

are there some instructions inside the package?
