Late fifties to very early sixties. The water is a little muddy on dating Howatts. It was prior to the riser design change, making it an early Hunter. I have one that is very similar, except the lettering is stamped into the sight window.  CKruse

I agree with the year range.

The NE PLUS and NE PLUS ULTRA editions usually indicate an all rosewood riser, but yours does not look like rosewood, except for the small section on the heel of the grip.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.
