I recieved last summer my Caribow Peregrine and I was very impressed.

Now I am thinking about another one....

But I am torned between:

- Buying a Peregrine again in the same poundage,as backup
- Buying a Featherhorn which is a "real" longbow
- Buying a Tuktu which is a recurve and pulls even sweeter.

Don't say to me: "Buy all three!" I hate that!  :help:

I'd get the Tuktu, same poundage, to use as backup  ;)

Though I have to say, I've never even seen a Cari-Bow in real life, so I don't know nothing, except for what I read here!

Good Luck though!  :)

I've shot all of them. I like the Silver Fox the best!

I agree .... You forgot to include what I consider to be the best of all Cari-Bows      ;)      ...that being the Silver Fox T/d LB      :wavey:

A back up? You need another reason, it is very doubtfull you will need more than a spare  string for a backup.

You're done!Nothing can be done to save you!! Lol
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

I too have the peregrine and love it,I bought the wolverine 2 years ago for a backup hunting bow and it shoots very much like the peregrine but is shorter and lighter, great bow for treestand or ground blind hunting. abe makes some excellant bows.

Here I sit with 2 Peregrines---and 2 1/2 Silver
Foxes---and I am wondering  what next. LOL.I like  the hand fit on the Silver Fox better than the Peregrine--but that might just be me with my small hands.

Good luck with your decision on a bow choice . Alonzo THE ELF.

Flying Dutchman

Hey Alonzo,

what if you compare the shooting characterisitics of the Peregrine and the Silver Fox? Is the SF as fast and smooth as the Peregrine is?

You can justify a 3PC silverfox  for the need to have a smaller package for traveling.
Or a 2 pc Peregrine.

or how about a light weight bow for the "WIFE".  :)

My wife doesn't like archery Pete! She hasn't strenght enough to pull a bow, even one of 20 lbs is to heavy for her. But I can always look for another wife ofcourse..... I just wished you hadn't give me this idea Pete, you are a wicked man....!

Hey AD.    I don't know if the silver fox is as fast as the peregrine or not but both are very smooth and for me are very  pleasing to shoot.Speed is nice
but--------dead is dead.

Flying Dutchman

You are right Alonzo, but I shoot 3D only. Speed IS an issue here, because at a difficult tournament we have to shoot trough tiny little holes in the branches in order to hit our target. How faster the arrow, the flatter the traject.

I use flowers with my wife. She totally gets it... you can't have too many flowers.... so she understands about my bows.

I always cook for her in the evening and bring her breakfast on bed every now and then. That helps too!  :)

Although I did not chrono. the bows, the Silver fox seemed to be the quickest. Abe will know, just ask him!

Tuktu. I had one but sold it here as I've gone over to the left side. Fit like a glove, shot nice too.
