Nice Damon Howatt
« on: July 03, 2009, 07:17:00 PM »
Pretty tough to beat the beauty and shooting qualities of the older Damon Howatt bows. Here is a nice example that I've been shooting courtesy of a good friend. 62" Monterey. 33# @ 28". I draw it a little over 31" so I'm shooting it in the low 40's and it shoots full length 1916's with 145gr. tips beautifully.

Hey Dave, a friend of mine shot a Super Diablo. We were going hunting one morning so he laid his bow on the sofa for the next morning. He and his crazy wife got into a spat and she stormed out of the b-room and flopped on the sofa. Snapped the bow in half at the handle(she had a BIT of a heft to her). Thats the story I got, anyway.

Bill:

That is a good one!
 
This one shoots the same be it with 1916's rather than 2018's that worked best at my draw length out of the 45# Hunter. If you ever get tired of it, let me know.
