I recently picked up a Tuktu from nineworld here on the forum. I am quit impressed. I is quite but not as quite as a longbow. It draws and shoots smooooooth as silk. I have yet to test it for speed but my eye chronograph thinks it is pretty quick. What do you have and what do you think?
I got a wolverine. I like it a lot smooth drawing quite and no hand shock. I am going to have Abe make me a peregrine next!
Shawn Leonard has one on here but I haven't seen him posting on here in quite a few months?
He must be pretty busy right now but maybe he will tune in ? I hear they are very nice and especially the new static limb ...
I wish I was Keith Zimmerman has the one I want its a shooter and then some great bows. I get to shoot my dream bow again a ETAR one day I might be able to call that bow mine.
I've got as lynx that is pretty sweet. Fast as all get out and quiet, smooth and all the other good stuff to boot.
I also picked up a like new lefty Tuktu EX from the classifieds, 56@28 and I draw 29" so around 59# at my draw. After getting the correct arrow set up this thing shoots great and can smoke a 545gr arrow. I have a pro chrono and a F1 chrono but have not chronoed it and really not concerned with FPS. Finish is flawless with a awesome grip, only wish it was a takedown model but for what I paid for it I have no complaints. Even at that poundage and arrow weight noise in not a concern to me. Over all great product.
I have had two ... an Slynx 2pc LB that was a really HARD shooter and performance wise as good as any LB I have owned, it was a bit heavy for me so I sold it but wish I had found one in a lighter weight. It was beautiful Black and White Ebony. The other is a 3 pc Taiga recurve and that bow also is a fine shooter, it's a 64" bow and has some beautiful elk horn / moose horn work on it. The riser on that bow fits me like a glove. Both bows I bought used on the classifieds at very good prices. Abe builds solid bows that perform. Fit and finish is very good.
I've owned a one piece Wolverine and Slynx but sold those for a 2pc Slynx that Abe built for me. I have not shot any bows that outperform it. Great grip, beautiful to look at, quiet, smooth and FAST.
I have two, tuktu, and tiaga. You are going to get a lot of envious looks with your new Cari-bow.
Mine is 55#@28 I pull it 27 so it's 51#. My FMJ 400 are little over spine for it. I should try Surewood Doug Fir shafts and try to stay close to 8-10 GPP.
I have a custom order Tuktu ex. Got it late fall last year, to late for me to hunt with it. I can hardly wait to kill something with it this fall. :)
Ive got 2 of them! Both are 58" wolverine longbows.
One is a mildly plain 51# that I use for 3D and hunting. It is by far my most accurate bow and I absolutely love it. Great cast along with a dead silence make it a joy to shoot.
My second is a beautiful custom wolverine that is 60# and is purely a hunting bow for me. While I cant shoot it quite as well as the light bow this heavy bow has unbelievable hitting force and is a flat out killer.
I am a longbow man at heart but one of these days I am going to have to try a Tuktu Ex! I can imagine it is just as amazing as any other cari-bow out there. Enjoy SS
Keep dreaming Gary:)
I ordered a Cari-bow Peregrine some years ago. Definitely a keeper. Fast, silent, very sweet draw, no handshock or vibrations, very forgiven and hits were you look. Great customized grip, and great craftmanship. One of the best hybrids I ever shot.
Highly recommended for sure!
I have-2 silver fox takedowns
2Peregrines--one piece
1 Tuktu x---1piece
All are lefthanded--and range from 44@26 to
51@26 at my draw(approximately).
I am very happy !

Sorry--- finger twitched.
I have owned several of Abe's bows from the Featherhorn(3), Taiga(2), Silver Fox(4) and Slynx(1) and you will not go wrong with any of them. Got a custom Silver Fox on order right now.
I have a featherhorn that is quiet and lightning fast, no handshock, smooth drawing. I still have it, but miss it, as at 55# its a tad too heavy for me now after a shoulder injury. maybe someday.
I have a 1- piece Tuktu EX. Hard to beat these bows. I'm thinking of getting another.
Just got a tuktu ex takedown from Abe's in stock bows its the bacote 59@28 After reading all the posts about the bow I had to get one what a hard hitting bow ! Shooting tighten up right out of the box . After shooting longbows for 34 years I won't leave them but this bow just shoots !
