Hello,
i'm new to archery and bowhunting. My issue is that I have a short draw 24.5 maybe 25 but can pull up to 60lbs.
I'm looking a buying a new overstocked 2006 Browning F5 Tornado or fred Bear Truth for my starting bow. It meets my requirements of short DL and good DW. I can get almost a complete (except peep site) new setup for under 400.00 with warranty.
Opinions please on Browning Bows..Pros Cons..etc.
Thanks.

I had the exact Browning in question. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't have purchased it. It shot and preformed fine, but I had more than a few problems with it. I had a limb crack once, and then I had a string literally BREAK on me at full draw. Apparently there was a burr in the cam [&:]. Big mess.

I've had 2 Browning bows and they are great products

I've never dealt with the F5 Tornado though

Don't think you can go wrong with either to be honest. Both are fine bows and both will serve youwell.
Good luck with your choice, be sure to post a picture of your new bow........and welcome to the world of bowhunting!

I just got the Truth so i'm a little partial...i really like it so far though, shoots real tight groups if i do my part and is plenty fast.

Don't know about that particular Browning, but the Truth is a darn nice bow. I'd like to have one myself. Plus you can absolutely steal one right now if you shop around.

Yeah, they both are good deals. I'm just limited in my choices because of my budget and DL 24.5 maybe 25. I'm going to check today with local shop.
I can't wait to get my first with a bow! It will be great, I know. Maybe I'll even get a turkey we've got a few that roam around our property here in Maryville,TN.
Thanks Guys
