Browning broadheads
« on: July 28, 2009, 10:04:00 AM »
As a kid growing up in the middle of nowhere, the Herter's and Browning catalogs provided hours of cheap entertainment...to that end, I have acquired example of Herter's and Browning bows, and am looking for matching "ammo"...

The only Browning broadheads that I remember were the Serpentines, and I know that they were virtually worthless as hunting heads.  My question(s):

1)  Did Browning make a 2 or 4 blade head that served well as a hunting head

2)  Does anyone have a couple they'd like to sell/trade for?

Many thanks    :thumbsup:

There were several heads done with Brownings name in the early to mid 90s.There were 2, 3, 4 blade configurations along with different weights and tips.All were replaceable blade screw-in type heads

Thanks, Ron, I was hoping you'd show up...  :D  

Nothing in the early 70's that would precede the Serpentines?

Many thanks

About the same time as the Serpentine, Browning also marketed the Streamliner fish point. This also originated in Grand Junction, Co. same as the Serpentine.

If you are leaning towards hunting with matching "ammo" go with Herters heads. They date back to 1958 and were made thru the mid 70's. They are a very stout head and are fairly easy to find. If you would like a Browning Serpentine for display or just to have let me get your address and I'll send you one. I can send you just a head or one on an old cedar arrow.
                             Thanx, Shep

If your interested I have at least a dozen Herters Farbenglas arrows and nine broadheads, seven of them are unused. I also have them in the original box from herters.
