SWEET DIABLO

[DAVE1275]

Jared, I believe the zebrawood Super D's were made from 1985-1994. My bow is a '93.   Dave

And bear....

The pictures obviously dont show off the bow, but the Super Diablo is more than a pretty face!

Kurt, you looking at this thread? Check out this hair man. This ones from awhile ago.....

Cool Dave, thanks. I knew I wasn't dealing with a "vintage" bow, but like I said, I love it. Wouldn't trade that bow for anything, too many "firsts" with it.
Makes sense, I bought the bow used but it was in really good shape, probably got it around 1992-3 or so.

You look like a dang California hippie,
That is a nice Bear, how big was it??

Back in the day, Bear and Pearson had the names...but Howat had the bows.

I always thought that Howatts were better quality bows than Bears, wings, Pearsons, all rolled into one.

Hey Kurt

The bear wasn't a monster, about 300#, the photo is classic perspective flattery. Beautiful perfect coat though.
I was happy to have pics though, even if they were back of truck. Shot him a ways back in the swamp, alone. Ended up walking out and going to my old high schools football game (it was friday night) looking for folks I knew. Have to love small town living, I ended up with a big dragging crew.

Just dug this Howatt out of a case in the garage stash of bows labeled "need to find a new home"...

Can any of the Howatt Collectors date it? Got any idea of a rough price range that an all original finish Catalina might sell for?

To a "Bear Hound" it looks like there might be enough board feet of lumber in this riser to make 2 or 3, 1959 Kodiaks.

This photograph does not do the bow justice.

Wade that is a nice looking bow. I wish I had the case to make an offer.

Is their a way of telling how old my Damon/Howett hunter is HH 22131?
