Title: I am just "Hopeless", LOL
Post by: Danny Rowan on February 04, 2013, 01:57:00 PM
Dad gum it, I have to stop looking at bows on the websites. I have been doing real good at not buying any new bows lately being happy with those I have, but then I had to go look at the Cari-bow web site and there she was. Gonna name her "Hopeless" cause that is what I am,LOL.

POST IMAGES NO WIDER THAN 640!!!!

62" Silver Fox 3 piece takedown longbow, 52#@28", B/W ebony riser with gaboon ebony flare, B/W ebony vaneers over Abe's bamboo cores. Gaboon riser overlay and artistic butt caps.

Rob, I checked before I posted and they were 640, just edited them again to 640.

Think I got it fixed, had to download from photobucket and upload again.

I owned a Silver Fox a few years ago. It is by far one of the smoothest 3 piece longbows I have ever shot. Abe's workmanship is unsurpassed. Best of luck with her!

You have an eye for art my friend. Congrats.  :bigsmyl:

Not hopeless at all.  As a matter of fact you are doing what we all want to do.  

Seems you have a sweet spot for beautiful curvy things.  

Love it Danny  >>>--xx----------->>

Looks like a waiting list started on this one. Maybe you should do a pass around so we can each try it out. I will take the first year and send it on. LOL
You do have the eye for beautiful bows.
Congratulations.

The Internet is a very dangerous place. Just look at the trouble you can get into. You must have one heck of a bow rack, Danny.

Trust me Al, I have been eying the Huntsman bows. Would love to try one but you do not see them for sale often and a year plus wait is just not in the cards right now.
Title: Re: I am just "Hopeless", LOL
Post by: D. Key on February 05, 2013, 09:22:00 AM
Danny:

What a beauty!  You are 'da Man!!!

I didn't read above where anyone asked for "dibs" on it when you get ready to sell, so I would like to have first "dibs" if no one else is before me. Like most of us, we say "this one will stay with me" but we know it won't.  So think of me if you ever decide to sell.

God bless.
Title: Re: I am just "Hopeless", LOL
Post by: b.glass on February 05, 2013, 09:25:00 AM
I like your taste Danny! She is a looker that is for sure! Nice find! Ya, you are definitly hopeless.  :)
Title: Re: I am just "Hopeless", LOL
Post by: Danny Rowan on February 05, 2013, 09:31:00 AM
LOL, thanks everyone, yeah, I have been known to sell a few off everyonce in a while, this one is kinda special, you see I shoot recurves mostly, this one reminded me of my dear late twin and his love of longbows, so, I have dedicated myself to shooting and hunting with this one for the next year in his honor and hopefully I can take some game with her. Keep a watch for the tales, I think there will be some Guam pigs in trouble and she will go with me to Texas in December 2013.

Nice other wise....
Did not know they had snow in Guam.
Title: Re: I am just "Hopeless", LOL
Post by: COOCH on February 05, 2013, 09:44:00 AM
There is no denying it Danny you certainly have great taste!That bow is a stunner.
Title: Re: I am just "Hopeless", LOL
Post by: Danny Rowan on February 05, 2013, 10:29:00 AM
LOL,

Mike the pics are from Abe's web site, no snow on Guam, bow has not arrived here yet, coming from Abe's shop in Canada.

Abe
Title: Re: I am just "Hopeless", LOL
Post by: Flying Dutchman on February 05, 2013, 05:00:00 PM
Danny, nothing to worry about.... you did the right thing. I think this one will be a keeper.... Cari-bow belongs to the top, it are real shooters, smoking fassssttt, silkensweet draw, deadly quiet and no handshock. Put to that the unbelievable craftmanship of Abe and there is nothing left to wish anymore...And Abe himself ofcourse is pleasure doing business with!

But darned, I would have loved to add that bow to my humble collection....  I comfort myself with he thought that it is just a little bit too heavy for me...    "[dntthnk]"   I am glad I didn't see it yet and you bought it, otherwise the temptation might have been too big for me...

Congrats on a terrific bow...
Title: Re: I am just "Hopeless", LOL
Post by: Danny Rowan on February 05, 2013, 05:23:00 PM
Lol, Abe you got it right. Hopelessly in love would be more correct.
