Browning Unveils One-Size-Fits-All Bow
Browning's new Discovery is a reasonably priced multi-draw-length compound bow that will "grow" with young archers and even fit your whole family.
The secret is in its HyperMax cam system, which produces no letoff and adjusts from a minimum draw length of 14 inches to a maximum draw length of 30 inches. Other features of this 32-inch axle to axle bow include an aluminum riser, fiberglass limbs, and machined-aluminum cams. It's available in peak weights of 20 and 29 pounds and in your choice of red or blue handle w/black limbs or black handle with Mossy Oak Break-Up limbs. Contact: Browning Archery, 2727 N.
