Howatt El Dorado recurve Question
« on: January 31, 2020, 02:14:38 PM »
When I google "Howatt El Dorado recurve" I get this and the wood risers too.
I can't seem to find the correct name for this bow?
Lot's of cool Recurves back in the day.

It was designed by Larry Hatfield for tournament archery while he worked for Howatt/ Martin. It was only made for a short time (one or two years I think) because it was disallowed by the NAA, and NFAA because of where the arrow set.

The El Dorado I've had were old late 50s early 60s. They were some of the most beautiful bows I've ever collected. And they were excellent shooters as well. That was back when they were called Howatts; not Damon. I wish I kept some of them. They were works off art.
