Title: howatt hunter
Post by: minnesota_hunter on March 18, 2009, 05:18:00 PM

I just recieved a very nice older Howatt Hunter in the mail today.  I was just wondering if any one had an idea of how old it is.

Don't know the exact year, but the logo indicates early '60's.  It is also a NE PLUS which is an all rosewood riser.

What is the draw weight...unusual to see a Howatt Hunter with white limbs unless it is a low draw weight intended for target archery rather than hunting.
