Browning Namad stalker I

RE: Browning Namad stalker I
If you are new to Trad shooting then this is a great weight to start with. The Browning nomad is not a top of the line bow but many people have done a lot of hunting with them. Take it to a pro shop or have and experienced Trad shooter look at the limbs and riser to make sure it is shootable.
Good luck

They were good bows. The short length might be a problem. Those short bows had a tendency to stack heavily past a certain draw length. Limb design may overcome that to a certain extent.

Look for obvious large cracks in the limbs or separating laminations. If none, string it up using a bow stringer. The string length you'll need is usually about 4" shorter than your AMO bow length. A 52" bow should take a 48" string. After you string it up, sight along the length of the string. The string shouldlay along the centerline of both limbs. If it doesn't, that limb is probably twisted. I've heard that you can straighten a twisted limb using heat and gentle pressure applied to the limb, but I've never tried it. There are those who may have. You've got a place to start here.
