I love the old Howatts.
I picked this one up a little beat, and was going to restore it with high gloss as a collector piece.
The more I looked it over, I figured this little guy has to hunt again. The heck with vintage collecting this time.
So I went at it, leaving the original decals and writing, but gave it a satin finish and slapped on some greenish Mojave rattlesnake skins.
I like the results. Figured I'd share it with those trad brothers and sisters who like the old Howatts, and hunt with them.
Its a High speed, 54", 54#@ 28". HSX1945.
I don't know the year made, if anyone wants to chime in on its age. My guess is late 60's?
Havent seen one with this wood combo, pretty cool. Havent shot it yet......

Beautiful bow David. I'd like to see your collection of some of the prettiest bows I have seen. Always great looking skins on your bows.

David,my guess is for a '71. Very nice,I am looking for a lefty similar to yours. I have 6 old DH myself and they are great shooting bows.

The Ne Plus Ultra logo was an early 60s logo. Could be '61.

Beautiful bow. I have a few Howatts that I still hunt with. I'm guessing early to mid 60s. I have a '65 Howatt with the NE PLUS ULTRA Shield, shoots like a dream.

Very nice job on the facelift! These Howatts bows are surely one of the nicest bows ever built...
