So it seems there is a tie to Browning... I found this regarding Gordon co.:
During the early 60's the three brothers were approached by Browning Arms to produce a line of hunting bows under the Browning name, which they agreed to do. Shortly after this time, they discontinued their line of bows and produced bows only for Browning Arms, Co. After three or four years, they turn-keyed all bow manufacturing over to Browning, and concentrated on producing Bo-tuff laminate for general use within the archery industry. Browning's bow business was purchased by a major manufacturer with the industry and is still being produced today.
Thanks again!
