45#@28 hst5445L54" all wood I think? :confused: I need a string for it and Martin (Damon Howatt) toldme they had no info on this bow when I called them to get info on it. Its also a lefty does anyone have any info on this bow thinks
There is a thread on this page with good info on the Howatt hi-speed.
Those bows were not all wood, they're fiberglass bows with a wood sandwich.
You can buy a bowstring for it from any of several sponsors, I recommend you get a dacron string.
Ok thanks a lot
Joe, Looks like you have a 54" bow. If you could post some pics we could get a better idea on wha t year it was built.
Thanks, Mark
Im not sure how to post pics on to the forum would it be possible for me to email you the pics or how would i beable to upload them? and thanks again mark
"not all wood...they're fiberglass bows with a wood sandwich"...
whatcha mean by that?
An all wood bow is an all wood bow with no fiberglass.
The Hi-speed was a fiberglass laminated bow,with wood in the middle.
A word of advice: use a B50 Dacron string only on this bow! Most Hi-Speeds I have seen have no tip overlay, and I saw one this weekend with a limb tip destroyed by a fast flite string without padded loops. The man lost a good bow by using the wrong string for that tip. I say this as an advocate of low-stretch, skinny strings, even on a lot of old bows. My bows have survived at least 6 or 8000 shots with such strings, but the loops are always padded and I would never use one on a tip like the Hi-Speed, or a Herters, for example.
