I've had a few Brownings and they were all fine bows. I'm sure you will be happy with it when you get done refinishing it.

My first bow was a Nomad Stalker, 1967. I killed more frogs with that bow. Mine was a 40#'er, they were good bows and in fact, still are!!!

Hi Jake,  I have an old Pearson t/d bow that  needs refinishing.  How do you know how much sanding to do on the limbs?  Is it easy to tell when the finish is off and I'm down to the bare glass?  Never done this kind of project before, but now want to give it a try.  Thanks.  Do post a pix of yours when finished.
