Since finding another old Root longbow was going to be tough, I settled on a craigslist find. It's an early Howatt Mamba Hi Speed. Probably mid 50's with tan woven glass. 58" and marked 42#. Pretty little bow.

I'll get ghe Mamba figured out. Shot some 35-55s pretty well.

That's Eicholtz Glass. Great stuff. No torsional stability and no resistance to bending, but very strong and usable under compression.

Mr. Hatfield, what year did they stop using Eicholtz glass?
Thanks, T4

Actually, T4, Gordons and others gave his glass a bad rap and he went out of business before 1960, I believe.
