I asked a question last week about Matthews adn Hoyt. I did some looking and found a really nice bow made by browning, hte Mirage SX. i was wondering if anyone shoots this bow or anyother browning bow and what they think. One more question does anyone shoot the Easton Carbon Evolution arrows??

There are only two seasons in a year: Hunting season and waiting for hunting season.

Lee,

I don't own a Mirage SX but I have shot them...and I have set up several for customers.

One word....Quiet.

Next to the G2 it could possibly be the quietest short bow out there. Price wasn't too shabby either....around $400 if I remember correctly....which is significantly less expensive than comparable 33 inch bows.

I would also suggest that you take a look at the Mirage 33. Same basic bow without the fancier limb pockets and the Sorbothane....for about $50-$75 less, if I am not mistaken.

I own a Browning Mirage that is probablly 5 years old. It is AWSOME. It is quiet and accurate!

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet

To answer your 2nd question I bought a dozen carbon evolutions this year and could not hit squat with them . went back to aluminum an was dead on . the aluminums were even lighter than the carbons . I tryed all diferent fletch and point weight set ups and still could not get them to fly good . I think they are not as straight as aluminum or there was a big diferance in shaft weight between the arrows something was very wrong with them . and they were a pain to fletch also .

I have a Browning Mirage SX that I bought because of its reputation of being smooth and quiet (and because I got a great deal on it). I like it but it is not as quiet as expected. I called Browning and the person I talked to told me to check the string because some of them were shipped out without having the proper twist put in the strings which makes a big difference on the noise level. He suggested 10 to 14 twists. This is a new one on me but there doesn't appear to be any twists in my strings. I haven't taken the bow to a shop yet to do this but will do so now that deer season is over.

The Easton Evolutions are a heavy hunting arrow.I had a half dozen,but went back to the Beman ICS hunter shafts because the Evolutions were to heavy for my set up.If you want to try carbon arrows,I would suggest the Beman ICS Hawk,or the new Beman ICS Venture.The Venture arrows are selling for around $43.00 a dozen for shafts.

I don't shoot the bow in question but I do shoot a Browning and couldn't be happier. Its quiet, decently fast, and it gets the job done so I couldn't ask for more.
