I've owned a few in the past but never really put the time into it that I should. After watching a buddy of mine pick up the longbow and kill some deer this year, I figured it was definitely time to get started. I bought a 50lb Howatt Monterey from PAPALAPPIN. I'm just now ordering arrows and going to start the process of tuning and learning the ropes. I have a very little bit of experience with trad bows and am keeping my first groups within a paper plate from 5-20 yards. I'm pretty pumped up!

I told Etter to post here. He bought a mid '60's Monterey and it is definitely a collectible.
Etter, feel free to jump in here any time you have any questions.

Thanks Jack. I think I've got the brace height worked out now and ordered a custom string, knocks, silencers, target points, a bow stringer, etc. Still waiting to hear back from big jim bow Co. about arrows. Definitely gonna be a shooter when I get it all worked out. I'm PUMPED!!
