Browning Cobra II
« on: December 09, 2010, 10:17:00 PM »
A friend of mine just bought his first trad bow, a Browning Cobra II (58" and 60 lbs).  

He knows almost nothing about it.  Can some of you fellows give us some info on this bow.  I did a search and found some good info.

Thanks guys, plinker22

Plinker,Over the years I've owned 2 or 3 of those.There real nice bows and Browning used the best materials Rosewood and Phonelic.I found the Cobra 11 didn't have as much recurve as the 1 and didn't quite perform as well as the 1 ,but it was still a nice bow .like all the early Brownings.
I don't know how much your friends shot but 60# is a hefty tug to start with.If your helping him watch for bad habits he may have to go lighter to get the feel of things.All the best.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"
