Title: Can you recognize the bow?
Post by: Andrei101 on May 14, 2013, 04:46:00 PM
I recently saw an old movie called "Hard Target" where Uncle Douvee shoots a traditional recurve. Does anybody happen to recognize the brand/ manufacturer of this one?

Looks like a Damon Howatt or a Martin. Magnus broad head on the film cover, cool stuff.

Nice shot by Uncle Douvee. I'm no expert but it does look like a DH or Martin. I saw where the bow was strung, then unstrung then strung up again all in about 15 seconds...starting at 2:05.

Bow is a Howatt/Martin.

Isn't that a scene from a Quaker Oats TV commercial starring Wilford Brimley?

All while riding a horse, he is pretty amazing. I am not sure how he was able to use a stringer from there.

It looks to me to be a Super Diablo by Martin/Howatt in the hands of a over-bowed shooter?? LOL

Little bit of some rough laungage for this site isn't it???

I remember seeing the flick and it was good, but we need to watch what we post around here.

Just saying this is a family site.
