I see Abe has sold a few of these from his inventory page and others not shown on there. My question is has anyone shot one or anybody own one?? I just bought one from the inventory list 3rd. one from start of the Tuktu list. It is 54#s at 28"s 58"s It has the Myrtle/Wenge riser and bamboo core and Myrtle veneers. It will take a while to get as Abe is away for a week and than customs and such. I need someone to talk to me about theirs, so I can stand the wait!! :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl: Thanks! Shawn
Oh and if someone can get the pics. from the web-site and post them here, that would be awesome. I am no good at doing those sorts of things, lucky I get on a computer at all! Thanks!! Shawn

Pics of your bow Shawn, I struggle through these computer things too. Outstanding bow and your choice is excellent. Be sure to give us the full report after you've put it to the test. Keith

Shawn, I was very close to buying that bow 3 weeks ago. I knew I could easily sell it here if it didn't suit me. Can't wait to hear your opinion of it. I already know how excellent Abe's craftsmanship is. I'm more interested in how this model shoots.
Ooh, that one is pretty!

Keith and RC Thanks so much!! Guys have been asking me to post pics. now there they have them!! I had a couple long talks with Abe abd was gonna order one, but I had seen this one and fell in love. Abe says they willshoot with the best of them. Great guy to talk too!! Mike, glad ya did not pull the trigger!! Thanks! Shawn
Thats real nice, I just got my first static tip and love it. I hope you dont have to wait too long.
Nice bow
I like the static design reminds me of my new favorite bow
Jasper due knows it well
:archer2: :archer2:
nice eye candy shawn and i bet it sure can spit an arrow :clapper: :archer2: :archer2:
Very nice bow Shaun. I look forward to getting an in depth review from someone as knowledgeable as yourself on what a static curve bow can do.
BTW if you don't like it, I'll buy it from you just 'cuz it's purty.
:bigsmyl:
Sweet!!
I love Abes wood working skills. Very impressive and good design on the bow too. Definately a keeper with very classy lines and woods.
God bless , steve
Thanks guys, I am thinking this will be the "ONE"!! Shawn
Real nice. looks like it can realy spit the arrows out there.
I know you had your eye on her Shawn and when I saw it on Abe's site I knew why.Look forward to seeing it in person.Have fun with it.

It's the one but for how long??? Longest Ive seen a bow last with you is your RER. :biglaugh:
Looking forward to the right up... :readit: ... :thumbsup:
It better be, got rid of them all, even the new wheels that I bought for Ohio. I kept the Belcher/Border and a few old recurves I have had a long time, but thats it!! You guys are terrible, I finally got the word from Cindy that I am done, never got that before so I guess this is it!! Hopefully you two can get up here to turkey hunt at least one day with me! Shawn
Sweet looking bow Shawn! Congrats!!!!!
Shes a beauty!!!!, You wont be needing that RER...I know where you can dispose of it!!!!!!
Sweet!
Now tell us how she shoots! The Tuktu EX is on my list.....
DONE! :biglaugh:
SWEET LOOKIN BOW SHAWN, I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR YOUR REVIEW ON IT. LOVING THESE NEW STATICS !
I have the left handed Tuktu Ex pau ferro riser and Quilted Sepale limbs. Due to unexpected body problems I have not been able to shoot mine yet.
If it performs at least as well as my other Cari-Bow products I will be very happy.
Shawn--good luck with the " LAST ONE " I agree with Guru--X2.----Been there said that---LOL.
Shawn-That is a very nice bow!! Good luck w/it this fall.
Hap
GREAT looking bow Shawn :thumbsup: Cant wait to hear how it shoots :archer2:
well Shawn, If you include it to a post with a crazy good package deal I'm sure it wouldnt last too long.
I hope to never post this one, but you know what they say. Hope I have it for turkey season, that would be nice! Shawn
Found an old thread but I am still looking for guys who have shot one of these just to halp with the wait, Abe is on vacation so it may be a few weeks before I have the bow!! Shawn
Patience is a virtue....a virtue don't have!
:bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
Gimme my damn bow.
I have looked at all the inventory and the draw force curves on Abes facebook page and I am amped up. I like to tinker and tune and I am hoping I have an arrow point weight that will work! Shawn
Very nice Shawn. Good Luck with it! Check with 3dmuzzy, I believe he had one awhile ago.
Scott nice to hear from ya bud!! Next year is the last big Bunny Hunt, I expect you to be there!! Shawn
You can count on it Shawn! Counting the days already.......
Just spoke to Abe, he was away on vacation and went to the P&Y convention as part of it. My bow will be shipped early next week!!! I will have it for opening day of turkey season(May 1st.)which will give me time to tune it and get it set up and shooting well by then!! I hope I did not drive him nuts. I called him everyday the last week making sure no one beat me to this particular bow!! I will let everyone know when it arrives!! I am stoked!! Thanks for listening and a Big THANKYOU to Abe!!! Shawn
That's pretty awesome, I can't wait to see it!!
If you make it on the 3rd. maybe we can double on a couple of nice Toms. You will get too shoot it as well!! Shawn
last one shawn? yeah right Bro :laughing: :laughing:
Jeff, at least for a while :bigsmyl: I actually have 9 bows left but I am down to shooting just one right now, maybe one of my Oldies like the 63 Grizzly I just got, but that is going to be a raffle item in my St. Judes hunt next year so the Tuktu EX and my Belcher/Border combo should be it! Shawn
Can't wait for you to get that one
:bigsmyl: :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
Shawn,
We need to give you a new handle name "Ralphie Boy" from The Christmas story comes to mind ..
Waiting for Santa to bring that "Red Rider"...
Yep if we put on a set of coke bottle glass's on Shawn I can see the image of "Ralphie"...
I'm waiting to see the day you get to unwrap the package... Just remember "FRAGILE" is a french word :biglaugh:
Shawn...good luck with the bow. I shot a few of Abe's bows at Denton Hill one year. They shoot sweet and his workmanship is superb. You have a real sweet looking bow there.
Thanks Joe!! I have ordered a lot of customs over the years and have owned many that were gently used but for some reason this one is different, I had a feeling when I first saw it on Abes web-site that this was a bow I could settle in with and hunt with for a good long while!! I just hope I don't put my eye out with it(Ralphie) :knothead: trying to string it with those big hooks!! Shawn
Beautiful Bow! :bigsmyl:
Difficult to actually imagine that a bow of this quality and beauty even found its way to the inventory list. A pickers dream.
Will be looking forward to reading your comments and perceptions once the two of you have become well acquainted.
Ill be there on the 3rd, can't wait to see it. Just keep that RER away from me. That is one sweet shooting bow!
Sean, that is awesome!! I will PM ya my phone number. If ya want you could come up Thurdsday evening and spend the night and we could roost some birds, save ya a long drive in the morning. If ya got a blind that would be nice as we could set that after roosting the birds. We will have 4 of us and two very inexperienced guys, so you could take one and I the other. You know both of them, Nate and Meat!! Nate has an absolutely killer spot as do I, so maybe we will get lucky! :bigsmyl: Abe just e-mailed me and got my address, so it looks like I could have this beauty by the end of the week!! Gonna be at 56#s at my draw, so may need to play a bit with different spines other than the .500s I have been shooting! Shawn
Shawn, that is a beautiful bow!!!
Beautiful bow, Shawn. You've always had an eye for good looking bows!
Lee
Shawn, what RER do you have? I've owned a couple XRs, a Vital and now a Retro. The Retro is a 58" and a few pounds over my comfort level for any serious volume of shooting, but could well be my "go to" hunting bow. It's light as a feather, the grip fits me fine and it is QUICK. I have an XLR on order that I'll pick up at the K'zoo Expo, but I will be very interested in your evaluation of the Caribow compared to the RER.
I thought the XLR would be my last bow, but who knows? :)
Shawn,
:thumbsup:
Maybe i'll just have to visit to check it out in person.
Arroyo is all I have left. I will put this Tuktu thru the paces and see what I think. I am even gonna chrono it along side my Border Hex-5's. My buddy has a shooting machine and just curious. I could care less as long as it is smooth and I shoot it well. Now I know it is coming I really am going nuts! Shawn
Maybe it will outperform the Border, I'm rooting for the Caribow. Grin Its real close to the design of my Talon 1. I know its a super fast bow.
God bless, Steve
Steve, I will have to try one of yourbows as well one day!! I know a lot of guys make smokers but if they are not stable they are tough to shoot, I hear yours like Abes are both! Shawn
Great Shawn, I'll bring my Predator Den and a few "statues". I'll be there Friday evening, probably coming from Delaware Co.
Just talked to Abe, bow shipped today!! They had a bad snowstorm the last couple days and could not get out to ship it!! Keep your fingers crossed it gets here by Saturday! He ships from North Dakota so I don't have to wait for it to clear customs! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Shawn
Awesome I love the myrtle wood.It looks like it will smoke an arrow.Good luck with the birds hopefully I will catch up with a big ole gobbler on monday. looks like it even has your type of grip
Thanks bud, must be nice to be able to hunt turkeys already, We have two weeks and a day to go! Shawn
Yeah I could have hunted turkey starting March 15, May 1st its back on to hog hunting
Shawn:He ships from North Dakota so I don't have to wait for it to clear customs!
Thats cool Bro. I bet thats got you pumped up.
God bless, Steve
Is it here yet?
Now ya got me pacing the floor Shawn :rolleyes:
Man, that is a pretty bow!
Shawn. So this is what was behind the "crazy deal". Pretty bow. I am enjoying your last "ONE" the xr shoots nice. Bob
Tomorrows Thursday Shawn :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
Can't wait for the review that is museum quality don't scratch it
:laughing: :laughing:
Yeah man, but he also ships UPS ground and they are slow as all get out. I just checked tracking and maybe Monday, how bad is that. My weekend plans just changed from shooting the bow to doing my honey-do list!! Shawn
