Jeff, I was wondering if you shot the Browning Illusion bow, and what you thought. I'm a Browning guy, but atmittedly I have not shot alot of other bows, and I was wondering what you thought of it compaired to some others.
I did shoot one of the Browning single cam bows- I don't remember the model name, sorry- It had a fairly high brace - I'd say around 7.5" or more, and it was pretty short and light. It was a little shocky and jumpy despite vibration damper stuff everywhere (even around the limb pocket), but was pretty quiet and had a nice valley. I think it was a low to mid priced bow, so I don't think it was really fair to compare to the higher end bows for feel/speed. I thought it was well put together-seemed tight. Brownings are made by PSE, so it's obviously a good quality bow. Were my budget less than it ended up being, I think it would have been a contender.
Sounds like The Verado from Browning, I think that it has a 7 & 5/8 brace height. It's one of their lower end bows, at least as far as price goes. I wish someone else here shot the Illusion. I love it, but not knowing how many other bows shoot myself it's hard for me to know if it stacks up to some of these other bows. I guess it is not that important as long as I'm happy with it, but I sometimes wonder for the price if I should of went with a different bow.
If you ever shoot one you'll have to let me know what you think.
