The SUPER ELITE is now in production! 🏹 Many decades of legacy all built into a premium recurve bow combining exotic Shedua, Bubinga and hard rock maple — 100% MADE IN THE USA 🇺🇸 (With exotic woods from around the world)

This mirrors the original Super Diablo that first went into production decades ago. With increased attention to detail and observance to tight tolerances, a perfect grip profile and premium styling.

Like our other premium bows, we kept the curves that take more time to make, and fine tuned the performance. This bow looks incredible from every angle!

We will begin emailing previous reservations holders soon! — These bows are AMAZING! 👌

Every Damon Howatt bow begins humbly—a carefully selected block of aged wood, rich with character and waiting to reveal what it can become.

Through skilled hands, time-honored craftsmanship, and countless hours of shaping, sanding, and finishing, that raw wood is transformed into something extraordinary: a beautiful, hand-crafted bow built to perform—and created to be passed down.

No two pieces of wood are exactly alike. No two bows tell the same story.

This is more than bow building. This is 100% USA MADE American craftsmanship. This is functional art. This is Damon Howatt.

Hand-crafted adventure since 1938. 🏹

🇺🇸 PROUDLY USA MADE SINCE 1938. 🇺🇸

For nearly 90 years, Damon Howatt (since 1938) has stood for something bigger than just building bows. We’ve stood for American craftsmanship, American workers, American manufacturing and the American dream! 🇺🇸

In a world where so much has moved overseas, we’re honored to remain one of the very few 100% USA MADE traditional bow companies. Every bow is handcrafted right here in America by skilled craftsmen who take pride in their work—because we believe quality still matters.

To everyone who has supported Damon Howatt through this incredible rebirth, thank you. Every order helps preserve an American legacy that began in 1938 and ensures these iconic bows continue to be built here at home for generations to come.

There’s never been a better time to own a handcrafted piece of American history.

When you choose Damon Howatt, you’re not just buying a bow—you’re investing in American manufacturing, supporting skilled craftsmen, and helping keep a tradition alive.

Built in America. Built with Pride. 🇺🇸

NEW In-Stock Savannah STEALTH Longbows just added to the website! 🏹✨

The SAVANNAH series by Damon Howatt is one of the smoothest longbows you’ll ever shot without sacrificing power thanks to our reflex/deflex limb design. from draw to release it’s not just extremely fast for a longbow, but a joy to shoot and a eye catcher to anyone!

In-Stock bows don’t come around too often, but we slipped a few extras in the batches last month and now is your chance for a NO-WAIT order. (Yes, this is very rare)

This LIMITED-RUN ‘Dark Midnight’ edition looks awesome and we just added a few to the website! — They won’t last long, first come first serve!

Oh and I almost forgot to mention just how stunning the zebra-wood limbs under clear glass makes these bows— they’re a pure joy to look at, and not just to shoot! 👌 Tell me I’m not wrong!
