Another Howatt that is....LOL

Since being bitten by the vintage bow bug I can't seem to get enough of the Damon Howatt bows. I am waiting on my newest acquisition to arrive. It is a Howatt Hi-Speed with an all Rosewood riser (no accent stripes) which I believe is from the early '60's. There is also a decal on it designating it as a NE Plus Ultra. Does anyone have any idea what that signifies? Here's a few pics of the Hi-Speed plus one of my Super Diablo and Diablo. I've got it bad!!!!!

I just received a Crazy 72# DH with Eicholzglass "Weaved" Think it's a hunter model.

I heard back from Larry Hatfield and the bow was made in 1961

I could go for one of those in a Lefty. No wonder you've got the bug, they look great.
I like the look of the grip on the NE. NICE!

Tom, There's a leftie Super Diablo on the big auction site if you're interested.  Fred

That grip looks like it would just suck your hand right in there. Beautiful. A '61 hey. Guess I got another birthyear bow to look for.

Down right beautiful.  I bet it shoots even better than it looks!

Here's a pic of it cleaned up with a new feather rest and sideplate. It shoots just like my '64 Diablo.....sweet!!
