Tech Talk

Compound Bow: Uses a levering system--usually of cables and pulleys--to bend the limbs before the shot is taken. It's designed to reduce the force required to hold the string at full draw, giving you more time to aim with less muscular stress.

Draw Weight: The amount of force, measured in pounds, needed to bring the bow to full draw.

Draw Length: The length of arrow draw by an individual archer, it's the measurement of the distance from the string at full draw to the lowest point on the grip plus 1.75 inches. To get this measurement, stand with your arms outstretched, in line with each other, and palms facing forward. Have someone else measure from the tip of one middle finger to another, then divide this measurement by 2.5 to get your draw length.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great gift of a 12 year old, January 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Barnett Banshee Intermediate Compound Bow (Sports)
I am not an expert in archery by any means, but this bow works very well for its realtively small price. It does take some strenth to pull the bow to the point where the tension releases, but my son got that part under control after some practice.

Like most sets, the arrows are not the greatest. They did not last long. Buy a dozen decent arrows and a cube target on Amazon or from you local big hunting store when they are on sale.

Obviously, this is a dangerous item. You can overshoot a target by 50 feet, so be in the open and under parental control at all times.

Bought this for my daughter, but didn't realize it would be too hard for her to pull back. So Husband is enjoying it. Now I have to get a different one for our daughter. Oh Well. Definately would recommend for a stronger child or yound adult.

Great bow, but the arrows broke within a week taking them out of the target pad. So have lots of spares. But I got the bow for my wife and she loves it. She's a small lady and the pull is perfect for her.
