old target bow
« on: August 26, 2008, 04:30:00 PM »
Help with an old target bow. All I know is late 60's and no later than 1972 I think. I only have the photo, not even sure what country it was made in. Does anybody recognise it?

Thanks

The lower part of the riser seems that it could be an early '60's Damon Howatt, but I don't think it is.  Are there any markings on it such as info like AMO, draw weight, and length.  Are there any decals?  If so, can you post close up PICS?

From what I can see of the rest, it may be a white Hoyt pro rest, but that does not answer your question.

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

All I got is the photo I am afraid, no other info. I was thinking Damon Howatt also??

Don't know the length either but most likely 68" -70" cause the guy used it for Fita target archery years ago here in the UK. He posted the photo as an archery trivia question.

It doesn't look like my Palomar, but it could be an earlier model than mine as they progressed over the years.

Mine is also 70", so...maybe

Finally got the answer to this one. Made by a guy called Graham Rae (a Scotsman) of Gemeni Archery Products, Solihull, England. It was called the Aquila and it dates to 1973/4...
