My Slynx was just delivered. Wow, I think the only thing better than Abe's craftsmanship is his customer service.
Our many phone calls about draw weights, veneer choices and everything else bow related finally ended with a trip to Morden, Manitoba where I placed the order. Touring his shop and seeing all the bows in production and woods that he has available didn't make settling on one easy that's for sure.
I haven't seriously shot a trad bow since I hung up my recurve back in 1995. I can't wait.
Thanks Abe and Tina! I really appreciate your help in getting me back into this great sport.

Beautiful bow! Abe is really a master craftsman!
:thumbsup:
That is one fine looking bow. I have a Peregrine from Abe that I used last year to harvest a buck. Good luck and good hunting.
WOW !!!
Nice bow Daniel, what part of the state are you from?
Wow,,, what are the woods? Looks like ironwood and myrtle. That bow is drop dead, fine.
Very, very nice!!!
Beautiful bow,I absolutely love my Slynx.ENJOY
Beautiful bow! It's a piece of art!
Abe's bows shoot as good as they look and that one is a "can't miss" type of bow. :thumbsup:
That is one beautiful bow. I really like the horn overlays. You chose well. Be sure and let us know how she shoots.
Like all have said,thats just a beauty.
If Joe VT says it's beautiful then it surely is! That guy can pick the woods, and you sir obviously can too. Great bow.
What are the veneers?
thats a dang good looking bow! :thumbsup:
Thanks guys. I have some MFX Classics on order so I'll know more in the future how it shoots. The test arrows seem fast as heck. No chrono, but good enough for me. As I said, I haven't seriously shot instinctive in 17 years so I'm really rusty. Just saying that makes me feel old!
The riser wood is Cocobolo with Sapwood Bubinga and moose antler accents. The veneers are ones that Abe cuts himself out of Heartwood/Sapwood Bubinga. Their grain patterns reminded me of some of the highly figured myrtles floating around out there but I've always been partial to reddish woods on bows and these are just unbelievable.
As others have said this is one good looking bow. :thumbsup:
Welcome back from the Dark Side, you chose a great bow and boyer. Abe builds bows that look and perform with the best of them. Congrats RW
OH MY GOODNESS :scared: thats a beauty
Sweet bow! I wouldn't put it down in the woods you might not find it again. :biglaugh:

That is one stunning bow! I will have to try one of Abe's bows one of these days....
