browning nomad I

[erierik]

Can anyone give me some info on this recurve.I will be recieving one shortly,looked to be in excellant condition.Are they a smooth shooting bow?It is 49# @ 28"54" long.I have about a 28.5 draw length and hopefully its not too short for me.I just started shooting trad and love it but I have limited experience.How does the quality compare to other production bows of that time?

My son has one, 42 pounds and is that length.  I pull just a tad over 30 inches.  I do get some finger pinch and the limbs look like the are getting pulled WAY too far back when I shoot her.  I t is very quiet and smooth.  At your draw I think you will really like it.  They are ok in speed and very quiet.  Enjoy you new bow!!

Browning bows were well made, I preferred them over Bear. My second bow was a Nomad I and I killed my first 3 deer with it. Smooth drawing and average speed. I have a 55# Browning Cobra that I used this spring to kill my turkey. I love that little bow...
You can't go wrong with a Browning....

Great bows.  The Nomad I (54") and Nomad II (58") are still great shooting bows.  The Nomad Stalker (52") rounded out the Nomad model.
The Safari I (54")  and Safari II (60") are also wonderful shooters made with Brazilian Rosewood which Browning used quite a bit in their upper line models.  Browning bows were top of the line, with the Explorer I and II as their flagship models in the hunter models.  Stepping down from there was the Cobra, the Safari, then the Nomad.  They also made a 56" bow "Wasp" which was a lower to medium priced hunting model.
It would be hard to find a bad Browning.
