I've shot alot of Cari-bows and they are all a quality bow. Abe takes pride in what he does and delivers a great product. I own a Wolverine (the newest Cari-bow) and am very impressed with it. Great trade!

thanks manitoba..how are they for speed,smoothness,etc ?

i have every model but the snowbird...my favorite is the Peregrine, but they are are all smooth and fast.  Look on Abe's website and he posts a link to Pete Ward's website where the Peregrine was tested.  
The quality of work in all of his bows is topnotch.

the snowbird is very close to the peregrine in looks from what i can see..thanks

They are all good. I have a Tuktu recurve, and a Silver Fox longbow and love them. I think I've shot every model he makes, and they all shoot well. His bows are all smooth shooting, and fast as well, which is a nice bonus. The fact they are all fantastic quality works of art doesn't hurt either!

sweet..thanks guys

I have a Silver fox takedown longbow with 2 sets of limbs--and another one coming.Fit and finish is impeccable;I know nothing about the snowbird---but if it is anything like the other models you will be very pleased.I got the takedown because I like takedowns.

i really love the looks of his t/d longbows and recurves

getting a morrison next then a cari-bow t/d recurve i think....

larry...You ask about smootness and speed???? Let's just say ..."you won't be disappointed"! I'm still surprised how fast my arrow comes out of my Cari-bow after shooting my other trad. bows.

thanks guys

I have 2 Silver Fox LBs and previously owned a pair of Featherhorn LBs. Cant go wrong with Abes bows.

I shot one of his Snowbirds at a shoot a couple years ago. Should have bought it. I probably shot it as well as any bow I have ever shot. They look similar to a Peregrine, but are not quite as radical in limb design. I like the Snowbird. Really need to try one of his Wolverine LBs though.

I have owned Silver Foxes,Featherhorns and Taigas,matter of fact just bought a new Taiga from Abe. Great bows and outstanding craftmanship.

All of the above.  I have a Featherhorn, and it has served me very well.  I shot a Snowbird about a year ago and was amazed that I was stacking arrows at 25 yards without any tuning.  It had a very nice feel to it, and all of his bows are among the smoothest and most pleasant I have shot.  

I believe the Snowbird was somewhat of a prototype to the Peregrine.  It is somewhere between Featherhorn and Peregrine in terms of R/D and speed.

This thread made me pick up my Tuktu again, after ignoring it for a couple years. That new Silver Fox is hard to put down.
  Anyway, hadn't shot the Tuktu in about two years, but the first 3 arrows out of it were in  3 inch circle at 20 yards, right where I was looking!!!Gotta love bows that do that for you!!!

Abe makes some of the best bows there are. Performance and looks! You wont be dissapointed.

I reviewed Abes Peregrine, and have shot several other models he makes. Every one has been a superb bow . His craftsmanship is at the top level.

Great bows, you will not be dissapointed.
