Most of the loss lands early: the Howard Custom 25 Bullet Open Bow sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $161,000 it falls to around $94,990 by year five — a five-year loss near $66,010, about $36.17 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Howard Custom 25 Bullet Open Bow bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
