Really excited to have had good enough timing to score this (my first Howatt!) on the big action site.

Of course a critical element to what it actually is happens to be missing. My guess is a Ventura maybe? Anyone familiar with details on this one? Vintage, bowyer, etc.

I would be tuning it today except that I need to glue down a glass splinter that it suffered from being packed poorly - 8>\

Aloha, Bobby

HV = Howatt Ventura. I saw that bow and was tempted. Do you have a photo of the riser...will be easy to date it that way.

Sorry about the sideways photo! Appreciate the reply George. It's good fun to learn about bows from all of you guys.

See if I can get another pic posted. Not great resolution but maybe it will fit.

And... apologize for the double post too! Pic went 180 degrees from how I tried to have it.

Apologies George, didn't mean to scallywag you on that bow!

Bobby, are those decals or silk screen...the logos? If they are decals, it would be a 1966. If silkscreen I want to say 1976.

Due to the AMO being in the specs, and the riser construction it's a 1976.

Good eye, Peter. I missed that one.

Thought it was strange, the drawn bow logo still on there is a screen and where the "Ventura" would have been was definitely a stick on decal that came off, looks like it was peeled off actually.

Thank you for the wisdom gentlemen!
