Rack of Howatts

[Hatrick]

My bows have been hiding in a dark room for too long so I just finished a couple of bow racks to display them. This rack is for my Howatts. Top to bottom: (not positive on the (?) dates)

1. 1980 Hunter 48#@28"- first new bow I ever bought. Shot my first couple of bow kill deer with this bow so It's a bit special. I'll probably do a refinish job on it here soon.
2. 1998 Hunter 50#@28"
3. 1995 Purpleheart Hunter 50#@28" - My newest. Thanks Cameron
4. 1978(?) Monterey 49#@28" This one will go to the woods with me the next couple of weeks.
5. 1974(?) Super Diablo 45#@28"
6. 1971(?) Coronado 45#@28" with green Gordon glass.
7. 1962 Diablo 50#@28" white glass
8. 1974(?) Diablo 45#@28"
9. 1984 Hi Speed 45#@28"

Which one shoots the best? If you had to pick one you could keep and the rest were gone...which is the one you'd keep?

[Hatrick]

Snag, each one has their own special attributes but if I was really hurting and could only keep one, I'd have to go with the Monterey (4th down from the top).

I recently took all the finish off the riser taking it down to the bear brazilian rosewood, repaired a couple of holes, and put some micarta on the tips. It's just so smooth and quick with a great grip.

I recently picked up a Matador that looks like it belongs in that stack.
