"but like a lot of Howatts, it was a lot heavier than marked."

Yep that's why I let my Howatt Hunter go.  It said 65lb but it felt more like 70+.  I had to make sure I ate my Wheaties on the days I shot it.
I find the older I get, the less I used to know!

Lon, your Monterey was a great find, they seem to be either pretty scarce or no one wants to part with theirs.

"Does anyone know when the Monterey was discontinued?"

I really have no idea but I don't believe I've seen one without the brazilian rosewood so maybe mid-seventies??

Beautiful bows. I'd love to get my hands on one of those old Montery's someday.

Damon Howatt was apparently a cousin of my grandfather (or so I'm told). Too bad my grandfather didn't catch the archery bug from him.
