I don' t think that Browning bows are crap. I have a Mirage SX that I think highly of. I shot a $600 Hoyt side by side with my Mirage and was disappointed at how much it didn' t shoot/feel better. I was ready to buy that bow that day, too. On the up side, I think I' m gonna have to buy a Tornado. I can get it for $150, waddya think bobcat 10?
