The bow I shot the year before last was a Browning Mantis. It was a nice bow. It shot great but wasnt the quietest bow. Wasn' t all that fast either but it killed a deer as good as any other bow I have ever shot. Set at 65#' s it shot like 245fps. But at the time I thought the bow was just the greatest thing. I most likely would not buy another browning bow unless their products are brought up to par with Hoyt and bowtechs lines of bows. Like I said the bow did me real good but I just cannot compair it to my Hoyt. They are just two totally different qualities of bows. But by no means are they junk!
