martin howatt bows

"but like a lot of Howatts, it was a lot heavier than marked."

Yep that's why I let my Howatt Hunter go.  It said 65lb but it felt more like 70+.  I had to make sure I ate my Wheaties on the days I shot it.

Lon, your Monterey was a great find, they seem to be either pretty scarce or no one wants to part with theirs.

"Does anyone know when the Monterey was discontinued?"

I really have no idea but I don't believe I've seen one without the brazilian rosewood so maybe mid-seventies??

Beautiful bows. I'd love to get my hands on one of those old Montery's someday.

Damon Howatt was apparently a cousin of my grandfather (or so I'm told). Too bad my grandfather didn't catch the archery bug from him.

Seems the Montery is something thats hard to find.I would love to shoot an older hunter or any other of these fine bows.
