Versatile. Adjustable. High performance. You’d think we were referring to one of our full-sized bows, but the new Thunderbolt was engineered to target youth archers without losing out on any of the great features expected from an “adult” bow.
Fully machined riser, cams, limb pockets and limbs come together to produce the highest quality bow possible. Dual split limbs, trim limb pockets and meticulous attention to detail result in one of the lightest bows ever offered in this category at 2.5 pounds! Arrow speeds of up to 290 fps are possible with the highly adjustable Rider Cam as are draw length adjustments from 17” to 28”. Draw weight is adjustable from a low of 10 lbs in the shortest draw length setting to a peak weight of over 50lbs. in the longer draw length setting. The Thunderbolt is a not just a “kid’s bow”, it is a full featured, high performance bow engineered for young archers; and for parents who have been looking for that bow that’ll grow through the years.

Technology
Incredible adjustability and performance are hallmarks of the Rider Cam. As the draw length is increased through its 11” of adjustment the draw weight range of the bow increases to match the growing archer. The Rider cam gives dramatic performance in all of its settings with speeds up to 290 fps.
The use of stainless steel hardware on all Winchester Archery bows demonstrates our commitment to quality. Normal steel components rust…period. Stainless steel gives you the confidence to hunt in less than ideal conditions without concern for rusting screws ruining your bow. Why settle for anything less on a high quality hunting tool?
Locking the limbs in a vice-like grip is the first job of these beautifully engineered limb pockets. Creating a stable platform for those limbs while shaving as much weight as possible was the challenge and clearly the challenge was met successfully. Limb pockets that are solid, secure and lightweight enhance the performance of each bow.
Designed with dual functionality - Winchester Archery's speedster not only picks up an additional 6 - 8 fps, but also acts as string dampener.
Whether you prefer a standard 2-piece rubber grip, or a narrow 2-piece style target grip, which allows for torque-free shooting, both are available for all Winchester Archery bows.
