Title: Howatt Mamba Rocket
Post by: Blackhawk on February 22, 2011, 10:17:00 AM

I just noticed that someone has a very early Howatt bow in the classifieds, and it seems to be priced fairly.

I love the Howatt bows, but who knows about the Rocket?  The markings, glass color, label, etc. show this to be a bow from the early to mid '50's.

I have six or seven of those in my arsenal and none are for sale. They shoot nice but stack a little.
