Monterrey was the pre-cursor to the Hunter and also later a target model.

Dollar for dollar it's hard to beat a Coronado.

I love my Howatt Hunter I got from huntingfool. straight out of the box and no tuning and it hitting right where I was looking. Plus at 60# it flat spits an arrow, its a flamethrower. Its now my go to bow, even over my Fedora.

There is also the Cavalier, the intro model that's still missing from my collection

And the Catalina, for target shooters.

The X-200 is a re-badged Coronado, the Dream Catcher is a re-badged Super Diablo.

The Ventura and the High Speed are discontinued.

There is also an introductory kids bow that's escaping my memory.

Monterrey, Catalina, Ventura, Coronado.
Personally I believe that a hunting weight Monterray is the all time greatest factory hunting bow ever built. I designed and accredit my bow designs and theorys from it in the long risers short static limb. I have shot my Monterrey against many bows and lb for lb it outperformed many fine customs. It is also a dream to pull and no vibration or hand shock. They were built with some really gorgeous Rosewood too. Mine was 66 in , 52 lbs. I gave it to my grandson for Christmas.

God bless you all, Steve

The 60" Brazilian Rosewood Super Diablo from the late 60's early 70's are real nice ones.   :thumbsup:

The "Bandito" is a great little 58" produced by DH. Smooth and accurate shooter.

Does anyone have any pictures of the Monterray?

My first "real bow" was a Martin Hatfield, I bought it from Screaming Eagle. Great bow, wish I had not sold it for an "upgrade".
