Does anyone know of anybody that does Checkering in Canada ? I have 3 Cari-bows that I would love to get the grips Checkered. I would like to send them south of the border, but the shipping costs and insurance would be insane !! Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Darren
I am glad I don't live in Manitoba. You must have a great self-control to own only 3 Caribows. I guess I would visit Abe once a month or so....
I know all about shipping costs and insurance... I live in The Netherlands and shoot American bows...
Can't help you with the checkering...
My good friend Tony Joaniss does awesome checkering in Ontario. here's a sample. (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x132/recurvehunter_2007/_GTO4140.jpg)
There are a multitude of gunsmiths in Canada who could do a great job of checkering your bows and likely only ask you for one arm and one leg to do the job...there is a bowyer named Dave Windauer (Silvertip)in Montana who does amazing checkering for way less than it is worth...Danny Rowan lives in Guam and it am pretty sure he sends his bows to Dave to get checkered...get my drift?

Okay so cancel everything I just said in the previous post....that looks like some awesome work to me
Lol......I said I only wanted 3 done. I have many more cari-bows !!
PM sent Sergio !
You have A LOT more Caribows:) Did I ever send you pics of my Silver Fox checkered?
X2 what damascusdave said.
Hey Keith, Its been awhile. My e-mail was hacked in the summertime. I'll PM you my new e-mail. Send me the pics of your silver fox. That is one of them I want done. As well as one of my wolverines, and the new Tuktu Extreme !
Okay, show those pics with checkered-grip-caribows! :eek:
Post the pics !!!!
Could you get me Tony's contact info Sergio ?
Thanks Sergio, I talked to Tony Tonight. Will be shipping him the bows on Monday !
I told him anyone is welcome to shoot them. One of them is the new Cari-bow Tuktu Extreme. Its worth trying out !
That's great Darren; I'll have to drive up to tony's in the near future to try your cari-bows. i think i'll wait until they are checkered. :thumbsup:
Your welcome to them. Im sending him an absolutely beautiful wolverine, a silver fox and the tuktu extreme. Abe just made me recurve limbs for the silver fox. Can't wait to see what those look like !!!
You MUST show us the pics Darren! And tell us about that Tuktu!!!!
I'm really looking forward to this!
If i get time Ill send you the pics. I find it a pain posting pics here. All I can say about the tuktu, is that it is super quiet, and super fast !!!
How does it compare to the Peregrine or Silver-Fox?
Just received pics from Tony Tonight of my 3 cari-bows that he finished checkering. Tony did a beautiful job !!! Thanks again Sergio !
Well, you know what you have to do now Darren....
Ill send you the pics Ad, You can post em !! The checkering on the handles still need to have a finish put on them yet.
Great Darren, thanks! You're too kind.....I am struggling with the new version of photo(f/b)uck(i/e)t bit I will see what I can do....
