Welcome back. I remember your post , didn't you used to always be buying and selling bows ? The little ones grow up so fast. Time flies. 

If my arrows were that special, it would be hard to leave one in the woods.  

I lucked into a prototype Howatt Takedown recurve that has no name and very few markings on it.  Kinda looks like a TD Hunter.

Enjoy the ride.

My arrow set-up runs 700-900 grains depending on arrow material and broadhead I'm running.  160-250 grain heads.  Bows are in the mid to upper 60#'s.  Lighter or heavy the arrow always ends up on the ground on the other side of the critter.

Looks good.Its Got some good hooks on it

The Wild Man is back.Thought you might have got lost in the Wilderness.

That's an interesting bow, Mark. What are the specs?

I use a 3M Final Finishing Pad, buffing as hard as I can for a slick finish (Buffing only takes 2 minutes or so) . Google both

Matte ONLY is a hard finish You will be happy

I sprayed 6 bow one time with 6 cans, some over spray (more than normal) and buffed them slick. 

For me after sanding down the wheel clear and wiping it down with denatured alcohol it would get sticky.

That's what Kenny said to use! I just got done with the final changes to this bow. That's the finish I used.
