Default RE: does anyone own.....

Millard,

If you like the bow then there is no reason to ask what others think. That's the problem with most, they worry about what others think. Browning like all other well known bow manufactures make solid reliable bows that just plain work and work well. I have shot nothing but Browning compoundsand I have been shooting bows longer than you have been alive (even if you doubled your age!) Are they the best out there? I don't know and I really don't care. Why haven't I changed brands over the years?.....no need to. Every Browning I have ever picked up, shot where I was aiming (after sighting in) time after time after time. What more do you really want in a weapon?

Is the F5 Tornado a good bow? Yep, it's very similar to my Rage One.They both use the same cam (ignitor 6)except the F5 has a shorter AtoA,has a slightly shorterbrace height8 1/4 vs 8 1/2 and is more deflected than the Rage One. Isit accurate? Yes but remember "accurate" is a relative term. One persons definition of accurate may be different that the next. But I think most will agree it is more accurate that the majority will ever be able to shoot in their lifetime, including myself. You can put most bows in a hooter shooter and it will shoot an arrow in the same hole time after time, so it all boils down to the archer.

Not every bow will fit everyone the same, although I think that is a little over rated. I have yet to shoot a bow (in my draw length) that didn't "feel" right and I couldn't shoot it accurately. Some I liked more than others but I shot all just fine. A perfect example: My Browning Blood Brother (dual cam, 40in AtoA short brace height) feels, draws and shoots WAY different than my Rage One (Single cam 36in AtoA long brace height) but I can shoot them both just fine and feel confident with either at the range or in the woods.

So don't worry too much about your choice in bows, if YOU like it then that's all that should matter because like I said, most of the major well known bow manufacturers today make a pretty good product. Rest assured it will do what you want,when you want it to.
