About Browning
Browning Archery began when the arms maker Browning acquired Gordon Plastics between 1962 and 1963. Gordon plastic had started producing a line of archery bows in 1954 using a fibre reinforced laminate that George Gordon developed in his lab.
One of their most famous bow designers Harry Drake, who died in July 1997, aged 83 after he fell off his motor bike. On October 24, 1971 at the Official N.A.A. Flight Championships using a foot bow, he conceived, designed and built, Harry Drake shot an arrow 2,028 yards. The Guineas Book of World Records recognizes this feat as the greatest distance any man has cast a missile by means of muscle power alone.
After 38 years Browning ceased archery production in 2001, it now licenses its Archery production to PSE.
The Browning Archery collection is certainly extensive. It includes Compound, Recurve and Longbows.
