Anybody got any info on this old recurve. 58" long. Not sure if other lengths were built. Cool old bow.

Larry Hatfield is the guy who was in on making them and may pop in here.  I think they were made on the same form as the Hi-Speed, but am not sure of that.  They are great shooting bows as are most Howatt models.

Would be great to hear from Larry here. I agree George, I have a lot of respect for the bowyers involved in the design and building of the old Howatt line. Clean lines, pretty darn good shooters. Just fun bows to shoot.

Sagebrush, you still shoot yours?

No critters yet. They are still down ridge from here, but they are on the fly back.
