I just took delivery on the prettiest bow I've ever owned. I've always heard Abe's craftsmanship was second to none....but this is amazing.

The pictures will not do it justice, but this is the best my camera will do. I almost don't won't to shoot it!....almost. lol!

This is a Cari-bow Wolverine. 58", 48# @ 28".

Riser is Chechen with a brown beaver tail grip and rest.

Limbs are bamboo core with some of the most amazing looking  crema etimoe venners I've seen.

Yep, deep east Texas.


I edited the limbs....after looking at different pictures, I believe the limb veneers are crema etimoe.

Mike

Sweet! Really like that grip shape, and the wrap!

I believe I saw that bow first hand at Kazoo! Beautiful Mike. Abe woudn't let anyone touch it! LOL Would love to hear a report after you shoot it some.

Very nice! I would like to hear your review too. Today I just ordered a Lynx, a new model longbow he has on his inventory page. The riser is marblewood with wenge flare, antler overlay and myrtle burl veneers.

Congrats on a beautiful bow,Hope you like it as much as I do my SLynx.Abe does beautiful work.

Nice bow. I love everything about mine. enjoy....

Thanks. Mike, I saw that Lynx...Very nice! Abe's bows are work of arts.

I was actually wanting a Slynx, when this came up. I'm glad I got this one after I saw it. I'd still like to try a Slynx sometime.

Sweet looking bow, Good luck with it. I've been eyeballing Abe's bows for years bit never got one in my hands yet.

Nice Mike!  Abe knows how to for a grip that just melts in your hands too.

I think I  shot daveycrockets Slynx at kazoo. A #51 lb. I have not shot a lot of different bows, but that bow shot unreal. I have been dreaming about it since. Mike what is yor draw lenght?

Very nice!

Tom,

My draw length is right around 29.75".


I'll give a better review after I play with it a while...

Yesterday, when it came in, I shot it some....I just used some arrows that I have fletched up and points that were already on. They are 30.5" CX Heritage 150 with 175 points. Brace height is at 7" and it seems to shoot them pretty good. I believe it will be spine forgiving. I need to try some 400 spine and see how they shoot.

Only bow I can compare it too that is similar is a 47# @ 28" Centaur Chimera. To my eye, it's as quick as the Centaur. Shoots about the same as for as accuracy for me. I like the grip on the Cari-bow better...it's one of the best grips I've felt. It is louder than the Centaur, but Centaurs are really quiet bows. The Cari-bow isn't loud, just louder than the Centaur. Has a "pop" to it at the shot....but playing with the brace height, string, and different arrows will solve this, or as least tone it down some....like said, this is with just some cx 150s I have that was tuned to the Centaur.

Mike

That's a beauty!  I find myself frequently drooling over the Cari-bow inventory photos, have to leave the credit card out of reach.  

Crema etimoe, never heard of it...very beautiful.  I hope you don't mind but I brashly stole a couple of your pics for my "Fabulous bows" archive.

What a beauty!  One peice bows have always been my favorite. I am saving every penny for one of those myself!

would love to see one "first hand" and actually shoot one someday, one of the few bows I havent tried out yet.  This one is really a show stopper,  nothing gawdy,  very natural looking colors etc... everything flows so well.

Mike, I thought Daves bow was pretty quiet when I shot it. One tiny set of cat whiskers. Wish I tried a 58". I think Abe said 29" or so was about max on a 58".
