No, it's not one of THOSE threads that everyone dreads.       :D      

I just unpacked my new Cari-bow Tuktu EX this morning. It's a 62" 2 piece, 51#@28" with spalted myrtle veneers, and Macassar ebony flare in the riser. I don't even know what the other riser wood is yet - I just told Abe to match the veneers. Elk antler on the grip overlay, and brown beaver-tail.

Abe confirmed that the lighter riser wood is myrtle.        

I grabbed 4 different wood arrows, with field points ranging from 125 to 160 grains, in varying lengths and spines, and started shooting from 15 yards.

I've narrowed it down to two that seem to work best.            

     

The riser.
   

Lower limb.
     

Upper limb.
     

These two arrows weren't always grouped  this  tight, but I'm not complaining.      

Looks awesome Scott!!

Nice. I see that you got the antler overlay also. Super bow

A stunner from Abe.  I have first dibs if it ever leaves LOL.

Purdy!

Very nice, Abe makes a fine bow ....

Great looking bow Scott!  Those heavy footed arrows flying well for you?

Ron,

       (YES!)

The 145 grain field points on the footed arrows work best with this bow.

Abe emailed me to confirm that the lighter riser wood is myrtle.

 

145 grain arrows ????

Nice bow, good shooting.

You made me look back to see if I said that !     :eek:    

145 grain field points vs. the 160 grain.     :D      Thanks Ken !

Sweet bow!
