You will be hooked with Abes bows.  They shoot wonderful and his workmanship is top notch.  Lots of options if you order.

Owned a Silver Fox t/d several yrs. ago and regret selling it to this day. Keith is right! you won't find a better crafted or smoother shooting bow than what Abe turns out. Ken Beck looked over that bow when I took the BW shooting clinic many yrs. ago and just marveled at the craftsmanship that went into it.

LOVE my 2 piece featherhorn.  My first, but certainly not my last.  Love the shape of the grip.  The most repeatable, naturally pointing bow i have ever shot.  I got the beavertail grip, love it!

The quality is top notch and they are great performing longbows. I think the Slynx is the best length.   Riser is bigger than a bow like a Whip but not as massive as some others.   All of Abe's stock bows are tillered for split.   Give Abe a call or email him,  he is a nice guy.  If I got another someday I would get a Slynx.  Look at his website and Facebook page for some good pics.

Fantastic bow.  I've owned lots of different bows and have not found one yet that I can say is better.  Extremely fast, quiet and easy to shoot.

I got my first Caribow this past September.  A featherhorn. It's a great bow. Beautiful with top craftsmanship and sweet to shoot. I don't think it will be my last

Abe's bows are functional art. I have yielded to the temptation five times. No regrets. If you want some testing data look up Pete Ward. He has tested several of Abe's bows over the years

Great shooting bows, really like my two piece slynx, very consistent grip, and smooth draw.

Great bows, I have had a Slynx and it was a shooter for sure and it was a looker in BW Ebony. I am down to two Caribows, a Silver Fox 3 pc LB and a Taiga 3 pc recurve. I sold the Slynx when I dropped down in weight.
