Title: Damon Howatt Hunter-Age?
Post by: fishone on September 09, 2015, 07:49:00 AM

I just picked-up a very nice Damon Howatt Hunter. It is #HH21235, AMO 62, 40# @ 28". It has a the "curved stripe" in the riser. Can you tell me the year it was made and the recommended brace height for this bow? Thanks!

It's most likely a 1972 version since that curved stripe showed up a few years back then.  First number of the serial gives a clue to specific year.

As for brace, it can vary from bow to bow and shooter to shooter, BUT I would put it at 7" to begin and experiment.  Twist it up until you find the sweet sport which I bet is 7.5" to 8".  Those are nice bows, and good luck with it.  My 73 version likes 7.75".
