Title: Cari-Bow Peregrine T/D... Now with pics
Post by: limbow on December 17, 2012, 09:32:00 PM
Picked up a two piece and it arrived today. Holy cow does this bow send an arrow out .... Express ! Pretty sure I will need to refletch my arrows as the feathers burned off on the way to the target       :D    

Awfully smooth, zero handshock. Having more fun than should be allowed with longbows. What a hoot

I would love to see pics too or even better: a video showing how those feathers burn coming off the bow.

I recently picked up a Silver Fox and I am quite impressed not only with the speed, but the smoothness of draw and really quiet.
 
  It shoots right with my Recurves in the same poundage.

Thanks Keith! Happy Holidays to you and your family my friend. I will be in a cedar swap on Lake Bellaire come Thursday morning. When you make it back to Michigan, we need to go there.

Fantastic bows. I have a Peregrine as well that I bought for my Grandson. Now both of my sons-in-law want one so I'm sure Abe will be hearing from them soon.

Fellows, I bought my Peregrine on TradGang.  Do you know Abe's recommended brace height?  My draw is 30 1/2 inches.  Thanks.

Limb profile pics on the way, they look pretty aggressive     :)     I was in Antrim county for a late season bow hunt. There was 12-14" of the white stuff. The wind was brutal and held the deer activity to a minimum. I will head back up next week and hope for better bow hunting weather.
Thanks for the positive comments fellas, I am really enjoying this bow-I must say though my Whip HS is getting equal playing time. Ordered a SBD string for it, anxious to see the results.

Lovely. Those feathers do look a little charred LOL. How would you compare the whip HS with the Peregrine in terms of draw, stability and speed?

I just missed this in the classifieds.  Should have been pulling the trigger instead of asking questions.

The Whip HS is smoother on the draw, it's 50# and the Peregrine is 51# so similar weight at 28". The Whip feels 3-5# lighter! I would say they are equally stable (once I found a string that the Cari-bow liked) and the Peregrine edges out the Whip in speed, ever so slightly.

I tried 3 different strings before I could get the Peregrine to equal the tablemanners of the Whip. I am always shocked at how much a string can make a difference in how a bow performs from stability to being silent. I fear how many "great" bows I have given up on not knowing this pertinent piece of information. The learning curve on traditional archery never ceases to amaze me.
