Someone wanted more bow porn in the previous thread about Howatt Hi Speeds.

Howatt Monterey
     
     
   
Early 60s Howatt Hunter
     
     
   

I'm looking to find one of those !

Love it.  You don't get beauty like that with maple laminates.

Does anyone know what the NE Plus Ultra designation meant?  The NE part in particular.

Drooling here,,,Would love to have one of those!!

 
Martin Damon Howatt Scorpion



 

 

Ne Plus Ultra is a Latin phrase meaning:

the highest point capable of being attained

the most profound degree of a quality or state

Thank you Red.  I never studied any Latin so I was clueless.

Zwickey,

They are out there and can be purchased right.
Trying to sell a great bow for what it is worth is a tough sell at the moment.  I therefore turned into a purchaser for the time being.  I bought a great old Howatt Hunter for $103 and have another equally as good deal in the works.

Yes, the Martin Scorpion can be purchased now. I have had mine since December 2015. I obtained it directly from Martin at the time but 3 Rivers is now selling them on their website. I have several Martin bows and am always on the look out for more of them. The Scorpion is a snappy bow, quick, quiet and accurate but, in my opinion not as forgiving as the Martin Hunter.

Here's my Hunter in action. I gave it to my son several years ago however he doesn't have a lot of time to shoot these days. He has good form and is a good shot considering he's in his late 40s and really hadn't shot a bow since he was 20.

 

Just noticed you can see the blur of a white capped XX75 Autumn Orange arrow I made for the bow.

Nice bow and great pic of arrow at speed.

Looking good Reddogge!! Great picture! There's nothing like a vintage DH Martin bow!!  

These are awesome.  I love Bears but there are so many great bows out there deserving of Bow Porn!

Thanks for sharing.

Jack

Love the glass on the Hunter.

Very nice bows!!!!

Nice bows!!
