Title: My new 2pc Cari-bow is ready for Kzoo! UPDATED ON pg2
Post by: Joeabowhunter on January 23, 2013, 08:10:00 PM
Well after month's of me flip-flopping with the decision I finally decided I would buy a new 2pc Slynx.  To my shock Abe had just posted a beauty on his inventory page.  Great, I had a buyer for my current Slynx closed that deal and the next day gave Abe a call to buy the bow.  Too late, it was SOLD.  I'm now without my favourite bow and the bow I wanted is gone.  Abe must have sensed that I was about to cry  because he took pity on me and said he could have one ready for me to pick up at Kzoo!  I'm sure I sent him way too many emails and changed direction on him more than I should have but he just sent me these teaser pictures.

I had started with an all ebony riser but later changed it to the deluxe riser.  I don't know what the other riser wood is yet or the veneers. I left Abe with this direction "I like dark bows and nothing too busy."  I described what I wanted in the grip making comparisons between my current Wolverine and the Slynx I had sold.  

Abe nailed it!  I can't wait to get this bow in my hands on Saturday.  I'll give the full specs and a shooting report soon....   :campfire:

Rats - I was hoping on checking out a two piece at the Kalamazoo show. Hope he has one left.

Nice looking bow, Joe. Very nice.

Congrats on a mighty nice bow. Cari-bow belongs to the top. Great shooters and great craftmanship! Here I have some pictures of my two Peregrines  :)

Hi Gang, I have been shooting my new bow for a week.  Final specs on the bow are 55lb@28", Macassar ebony / Pau Ferro flare with myrtle burl veneers and brown beaver tail grip w/rest.  Took it stumpin this morning and would like to share a few pictures.

Can't forget my partner

She likes to find my arrows.

The bow...

The 2pc fit is precise and snug with no play in the fit.  The bow draws very smooth and the shot is shock free and very quiet.  Abe's workmanship and the performance he builds into his bows is fantastic.  I'm very happy with this bow.    

Joe

I had the pleasure to shoot some of Abe's bows at k-zoo, and they are definatly at the top. Absolutly superb craftsmanship, and they shoot as good or better than they look. Oh to be a wealthy man, so I could add one of these beauties to my stable. Not that Abe's bows are overpriced, I just can't afford three bows this year. Maybe next, Lord willing.
