I might be picking up a Browning recurve this friday for Bowfishing. I will let you know how it performs.  Since the guy didnt know what type it was I offered $50.00 if the bow is in good working condition.

Hope its worth the drive   :cool:

Definitely if it's still a shooter.

Have a '67 Explorer II headed my way and am looking forward to shooting it. Have had shorter Brownings and they shot well but thought a longer amo would work with my draw length better.

[Kelly]

Humm! Wonder what thatbow might be!  

[Horney Toad]

Good choice Tom, the Explorer II is my favorite one. Shoots and looks great.

[Tom]

Kelly-
Any suggestions for a brace height for the Explorer? Thanks.

[Kelly]

I'd start at 7" and work up from there. My other Brownings do real well with low brace heights.

[Jim Picarelli]

I have 6 Brownings and they all shoot pretty well around 7 1/2"-7 7/8"

[Tom]

Thanks for the reply, gents. Will start at 7.5 and go higher or lower to see which the bow likes. Appreciate the quick answers.

I talked to a guy thru **** a few years ago that had a couple of Browning Cobra handle sections for sale.  They were just the handle sections that had been glued up before the limbs were attached.  He said he used to work at a small airport near San Diego, CA and the Browning bow factory was next door.  He dug the handle sections out of the trash and kept them since the wood was so pretty.

Just picked up a Browning Cobra II today and a Bear Kodiak Paid 50 bucks each for tehm.

I may give the guy a few more bucks as I feel it was a steal and he has a little one at home.

Wow, someone was digging throught some history, lol.  good thread though, you have got to love the old brownings

[PAPALAPIN]

Dang, Toad...That picture you posted looks like my Browning collection except that I don't have the Wasp and the Spartan.  Nice bows.

For me anyway, back in the day we would not have anything to do with Browning bows because we did not want bows made by a Firearms company.  We wanted bows made by Bow companies.  Boy has time proven us wrong.  We did not realize that the browning bows were designed by Harry Drake.  They have really stood the test of time and proven to be quality bows.  Great shooters too.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Yeah, I was digging, trying to research the bows I picked up today.

I have shot a couple of Brownings and they were very nice.

Anyone have any recommendations on a Browning at 60" or longer designed to be shot off the shelf?  The ones I have seen at 60" or longer had highly curved shelves and looked to be designed for elevated rests.

Tks!

[The Black Spot]

the ones with the curved shelves still work well for shooting off the shelf.
