I'm looking at getting back into archery and have 2 bows I can shake the dust off of a browning summit ii or a browning mirage hunter both are probably from the mid to late 90's. Any suggestions on which one would be better, speed wise or other reasons?
Thanks for the help
the mirage was a top of the line bow in the early 90's. i think it was rated at 226fps. that was probably with a much heavier arrow(540?) than bows are rated with today(350). as i recall, it was a very good shooter too. the summit looks like a round wheel bow of similar design,though probably slower.
Summit was an entry level bow. Pretty pedestrian velocity. The Mirage shot pretty fast. I think I was up around 260 fps with 29 inch 2413's. Shooting about 75 lbs, 32 inch draw length and an overdraw.
With carbon arrows I'll bet you can get 250+ very easily at 70 lbs. Maybe even faster.
