Browning Bow value? Yard sale find.

Rebel_James

First, I know absolutely nothing about compound bows. I do know Browning is a name brand, and I 'found' this one at a yard sale today. The sticker with the pull poundage and model number is gone, but the serial number is: XS5A 1497

It has a two position Cobra sight on it also.

Can anyone give me an idea about the value of it? Thanks in advance.

Not much unfortunatly. It is around 15 to 20 years old and browning is not that great of a name in archery. I guess someone that just wants to try archery for a couple months to see if they like it could spend $20.00 on it and shoot it.

You can get a much nicer "newer" used bow spending $100 to $200 bucks and have a bow you can hunt with for years. I'm selling a 6 year old hoyt to a guy for $125 so better bows are out there.

If your going to shoot that one you might want to take it to a pro shop and have it checked over first.

it would make a good fishing bow.

You could get more trading/upgrading at a bow shop. Selling it outright you'll be lucky to get $30.
Go buy a new $900 bow, walk through their door way and you got a brand new $600 bow then. Sad, but true.

if its your first bow go ahead and play with it..see if you like it then you can get a newer one later...biggest differences on the new ones are the letoff, speed, and weight..if you like the one you got you'll drop dead for a newer one
