I am a new to archery and bought a browning sequoia heritage series bow 50# @ 28 and was wondering if you all think that is a good bow,
seems good to me but would like some opinions, thank you.

Browning makes good products, find someone or a club to shoot with and learn to shoot correctly. Longbows can be fun to shoot, have fun.
It is made by PSE and I would try and find a better bow, it has excessive handshock and vibration. other than that it's not too bad but I would look in the classifieds on this website for a good deal.
Quoteit has excessive handshock and vibration.
I own one and it has absolutely NO handshock or vibration! I did however throw the fastflight string away and put on B50.
I highly recommend this bow.
There are some times when you don't need to spend a ton of money to get a good bow. This is one of them.
ya, I cant really tell about hand shock coz im new, seems to shoot well, I bought a couple of books on shooting that will be here soon from amazon. TRADITONAL ARCHERY by Sam Falda, Instinctive Archery Insights by Jay Kidwell
i am waiting, not really anyone to shoot with here. im on my own
Kind of off topic but I would recommend The Traditional Bowhunters Handbook by T.J. Conrads also. He is the publisher of Traditional Bowhunter magazine (also recommended) and the book really serves well as a go-to resource on most things traditional. I have come back to the traditional realm after being away a LONG time. Some things have changed and some things I just never knew. The book also gives a brief history of some of the traditional greats. I go to the book frequently.
As for the bow, I would imagine it would be just fine. I think alot of times we get "starter" bows and end up keeping them even after adding newer, nicer bows. The old ones can shoot quite well although I can't personally vouch for that particular bow. Good luck and most of all have fun.
