I've owned a few in the past but never really put the time into it that I should. After watching a buddy of mine pick up the longbow and kill some deer this year, I figured it was definitely time to get started. I bought a 50lb Howatt Monterey from PAPALAPPIN. I'm just now ordering arrows and going to start the process of tuning and learning the ropes. I have a very little bit of experience with trad bows and am keeping my first groups within a paper plate from 5-20 yards. I'm pretty pumped up!
Welcome, but you may want to make a post like this in Pow Wow. Folks will be glad to meet you there.
Congrats on the Bow, enjoy! KYArcher
I told Etter to post here. He bought a mid '60's Monterey and it is definitely a collectible.
Etter, feel free to jump in here any time you have any questions.
Thanks Jack. I think I've got the brace height worked out now and ordered a custom string, knocks, silencers, target points, a bow stringer, etc. Still waiting to hear back from big jim bow Co. about arrows. Definitely gonna be a shooter when I get it all worked out. I'm PUMPED!!
Welcome! And congratulations! It's a fun addiction. Would love to see pictures of your new bow!
If you need any info, don't hesitate to call...or post questions here. Lots of knowledge on this forum.
Yes, If you can get some pictures up of your new bow. I would like to know what a 60's Monterey looks like.
