Don't think I can sleep tonight! New to me bow!

dposalski · January 23, 2011, 11:10:00 PM

I found a Browning Cobra locally that I am going to see and probably buy tomorrow. I know it is 52#, but not much else. Will post pics when I get it. I can't wait. Really excited, not just to get a bow for myself, but to give my other one to my son.

The guy said his dad owned an archery shop when he was growing up and the pics of it show it being stored well. I hope it was as well cared for as I think it will be.

Any arrow suggestions? I pull 29 inches. I like aluminum and carbon. Thanks!

Just got it home. Its a 1968 Cobra. Wish it was as valuable as the Shelby version. Really short bow at 50". Draws really easy for such a short bow. Surprised me. Pics tomorrow!! Came with a couple dozen woodies with a variety of broadheads. Gotta check them out and see what's there.

Nice bow.

dposalski · January 25, 2011, 12:10:00 PM

It is really light and feels like a kids bow because it is 10" shorter than what I otherwise shoot.

dposalski · January 25, 2011, 12:32:00 PM

So the arrows that came with it are homemade woodies. 14 have bear razorheads, three have bodkins, and two are bowlos. Never seen those before. they are really long and narrow and look like they get beat up pretty easy.

Looks great!

Browning made some excellent bows. I've got a 1966 Explorer (also 52#@28" - I draw to 30") that is my favorite bow to shoot.

Very nice

Good looking bow, congrats

dposalski · January 25, 2011, 03:36:00 PM

Just noticed that one of the broadheads is a hornet.

Enjoy shooting it.
