Title: Who made the Brownings?
Post by: BByrd on December 26, 2007, 12:27:00 PM
Any idea who made the old browning bows, like the Cobra 2?  Have a perfect one but can;t figure out who made it. My guess is Howatt, but...?

Thanks, BAxter

Some of the old brownings looked just like Wings, there is a guy that i know that collects Wing bows he has some Brownings also and says that they are Wings.

I know Harry Drake was an influential designer/builder with them.

All of the above,Howatt,Wing ie possibley head ski at the time.And yes old Harry did play a roll in the rucurve market at Browning.As for what years whom made what...it would take me years to find the notes.But possible Wing and Howatt were late 60's.Not possitive but I think the 1968-1969 Brownings were built by Wing ie possible head ski bows.bd
