By todays standard of recurve they are slow and usually you see people using them for bowfishing bows.
Relegating a Damon Howatt bow to bowfishing duty is way underrating these bows. True, Martin archery bought the rights to build the Howatt bows but they are not the same bows by any stretch of the imagination. Damon Howatt bows are elegant works of art. The reason Martin does not make them the way Howatt did is they can't afford to build them as well
I have three Damon Howatt bows, a Monterey (which sadly experienced a split limb tip /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif), a Howatt Cavalier and a Howatt target bow. These bows will shoot along with anything coming off the forms today.
I hope you will hunt with your Howatt this fall and that you treasure the days you spend afield with it.
