I mostly have Bears with the exception of 1 Martin. I've always liked the looks/woods used in some of the Browning bows and since I have some other Browning collectible types of items, I found a nice looking Wasp that is on the way.
Anyone know what wood they used in a 73ish Wasp and also the brace height?
Thanks

I believe those Wasps from the 70's were walnut.
Though rather plain in appearance, these models were outstanding performers in the speed department. As time passes, more and more folks are beginning to appreciate the Browning bows.

That looks pretty nice. I'm not sure of this wood, looks sort of like shedua with some sapwood.

The Wasp is a fun bow to shoot. I put some beaver fur silencers on it and it is very quiet and fast. I can seem myself carrying it into the woods this fall. Plan on doing some squirrel hunting with it maybe this weekend. I'm not sure what the wood is, but it looks nice like an old gun.
What was Brownings top of the line bow? I wouldn't mind looking more into Brownings.

Just got a safari 1 from a tradganger....my kid loves it and very ,very nice wood. we were shooting aerials and he beat me ....must be the bow.

The top of the line was the explorer II for hunting bows. I believe the Challenge was the top of line target bow.

The explorers and cobras were the top hunting models, Followed by the safari and fury models. The wasp and nomad models were their entry level bows. But still were exellent shooters. I love the old brownings and in my book they are second only to my old Grayling Bears.
