HuntingNut13,

The Tornado feels like it has a much bigger brace height than it actually does. Last summer my friend and I shot our bows beside each other alot. His Browning Tornado and my Hoyt MT Sport. His Tornado was rated about 20 f.p.s. faster than my bow, it is something like four ounces lighter than my MT Sport was, and, my MT Sport had a 8 1/2" brace height compared to the Tornado' s 7 1/2" brace height. The Browning shot exactly like my MT Sport. It was so smooth and forgiving. It is a great bow, and I would suggest it to alot of people.

Frank,

It is kinda amazing that the Tornado never really took off. It is in my opinion one of the top bows for the buck. I would say the top 3 bows for the money are the Browning Tornado, Martin Tracer Magnum, and the BowTech Stalker. These are all good performance bows, but are VERY easy on the pocket compared to most of today' s bows. The Tornado just stands out in this group though. It has the true Browning quality in it. The grip is very nice (I actually like the rubber with wood insert than the all wood grips on the upper end Brownings). The bow is a great average axle to axle length, it is smooth, quiet, forgiving, CHEAP, and still plenty fast enough.

HuntingNut,

My friend was getting 2" groups out to 40-45 yards with his Browning Tornado without it even being close to being tuned. He ordered new strings last year and had them put on at my previous bow shop, well, the guys somehow messed up his arrow rest (it was paper tuning perfectly), and, he had 1/4 difference in the distance between the sting and the limb pocket on the top and bottom limbs. This bow wasn' t even close to being tuned properly after he got his new strings, but yet, he was still getting AMAZING groups. O yeah, those are with his N.A.P. Thunderhead 100' s. Granted, he is an AMAZING shot, but, there has to be something said about his equipement there.
