My first bow was a Browning Nomad back in 1967. I paid 37 dollars for it at a sport shop with money I made washing dishes at the local diner. Well yesterday I bought a lightly used Browning Explorer II 62", @ 45#. I believe it's a 1973. Should be fun to mess with when it gets here.

My first was a Browning Safari II. I think I paid 30 bucks for it with money I made working at a local gas station. I think you'll like yours Ron!

I have a couple of browning bows. They are some of my favorites.
-
I've hunted with an Explorer II for years. Smooth and good shooting. I even have one in 62# that I haven't shot.

How's the Browning Explorer working out, Ron?
I love mine. (51# and 62", but pre I & II designation).
My favorite bow to shoot - though I have been campaigning my Red Wing Hunters for whitetail recently.

Love my Brownings too...started with a Cobra II that was as new as day left factory...but over the years came to appreciate the Explorer and Safari series more. Sold all of them except my various Explorers, a Wasp and a nice Safari.

Been shooting it some......I had to build the side plate out some, but it is quick and shoots well. For a bow from the 70's it's really a good performer......easy on the eyes as well.

I love the wood in my Brownings and Wings from the 60's and 70's.
Some of that one-piece wood can't be duplicated for love nor money.
