Right now I CRS . ON the Damon Howatt line I can remember the Mamba,Ventura,HiSpeed, Diablo, Super Diablo,Hunter,Dream Catcher( Martin) Cant remember any other models Can I get some help??? THANX
Wasn't there a Coronado too?
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.
The Hatfield take down.
My first bow,still have it,X-200
Thanx GUys
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
My first real bow was a Coronado. Awesome bow.

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.

I iwll look at it personaly this after noon but NOTHING he thought it said was anything I had ever heard of so I wondered if I had missed something along the way then gat the BF and couldnt remember the other names . Thanx again if its worth looking at after I see it I will post pictures .

My DH Hunter 50#28"
Don't think I saw the Vigilante, Rebel or X-100 mentioned yet.
I'd love to find an original HiSpeed.

X2....what a bow.....
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".
Got a "HUNTER" still take it for a walk every now and then !
