RE-Make of Hoyt Pro Hunter Recurve
« on: June 23, 2018, 01:53:19 PM »
I've collected a lot of old bows from the 50's and 60's.  One of my all time favorite recurves is the 58 inch Hoyt Pro Hunter.  The only problem I have with some of those early bow is they seem to have very large handles.  Here is my re-make version.

Started with a Hoyt Pro Hunter RH 58" 46#@28.  Reduced weight to 40#@28, re-shaped grip by cutting the heel of the grip down and sliming the entire grip.  But now the sight window looked too large for the grip.  So I cut the sight window down and radiused the arrow shelf.  Picture compared to another untouched Hoyt Pro Hunter 58" 46#@28.  The re-make bow is just worked down not finished yet...tippit

I agree your bow looks pretty nice, but sorry...never heard of that Howett Pro Hunter.  I am familiar with the Hoyt Pro Hunter as well as the Howatt Hunter.  This is a new one on me.

Nice bow. I have agreed Pro Hunter that I picked up for $20.00 years ago at a gun show. it is still in like new condition. I do not shoot it much as I am primarily a long bow shooter.
