Let me just start off with I have never owned a bow before and i would like to get into the sport. Ive been hunting a while now but only with rifles.

I want to know if browning bows are any good? what should i look for in a bow. I just looked on there site and there illusion trance cam looks to be one hell of a rig but i dont know. also what kind of equpiment would i need to get for the bow for it to be ready to hunt with? i wont be hunting from a stand at all and im 6,1" if it makes any difference. o also what about draw weight 60-70 lbs which do you suggest?

Sorry about all the questions but i didnt know where else to start.
Heres a link to the browning bow i talked about.

That should be another great bow! I have the Rage One and think it's the best bow ever--in a way. Buy whatever bow suits you best. If that's the Illusion, then great!

I'm a PSE fan as well--big time. They should have many suitable bows to suit you very well.

I have the "Truth" and love it. Like the other guy said get what fits you the best. Whats good for me might not be good foryou. Also don't buy into the hype of any one brand.

I just bought an illusion today after I shot it I just knew it was the bow for me. just like the others say go and shoot as many bows as you can and there will be one certain bow you will not want to put down

archery is just the best



Just try as many bows possibly,one is made for you ...

Hopely you can get one from a great dealer that will spend some

x'tra time with you & have you set-up & ready to go - with everything

you'll need (along with some good advice)


take care,

I can't remember what model my browning bow is but i bought it 3 years ago and i've never missed a deer with it!! I really like it and it's so comfortable to shoot, the let off is awesome!!

I have a Old Browning Storm(It hasnt been shot in over 12yrs)and I wouldnt think twice about grabbing some arrows and takeing it out hunting.
For a old bow its very nice and Quite with no add ons.

ya, makesure you try out lots and get the one that feels best to YOU, not what everybody says. Never shot the browning though, more of a pse fan.

I purchased a Browning Tornado about 5 years ago and like it very much. I am 6'7" tall with a very long draw so I had to be particular about the bow I purchased. For the price, I think it was a wise choice.
Best of luck in your search.
