Anybody shot the new Cari Bow EX recurve?

[Darren]

Great shooting Recurve. fast, and super quiet. I have been a longbow guy for 20 years, But I really like this bow. Ill be shipping it off to Ontario tomorrow or Wednesday to get some checkering on the grip. I told Sergio he can play around with it while it is there. Im sure he will give ya a report on it !

Thanks, I found it. Looks kind of like my Hex-5 limbs. I am working on getting one. Shawn

The master himself is saying that the performance is close to that of the Peregrine or Slynx... So what would be the reason to buy this bow when you own already a Peregrine of Slynx? Would it add something except for having another bow in your collection?
Recurves also are more vulnarable for twisted limbs..

Ad, I am thinking the draw would be much smoother on a static recurve compared to a RD longbow of the same length. Abe correct me if I am wrong.

Smoother then a Peregrine???? I just can't imagine that....

[SERGIO VENNERI]

To me the most important thing is the grip! I would like to see pics of the grip from all sides & top ( closeup).

[Flying Dutchman]

Me too!

The Tuktu is 60" and should be compared to the Slynx I think.

Here is the Tuktu's draw curve taken from Cari-bow's facebook page:
 
Looks good for a 30" draw.

Benefits???

Huge benefits if someone is hunting minded! Think of the ease of ground blind shooting, treestand shooting, limb clearance of obsticles when hunting. I understand not everyone here hunts but think outside the box.

[Flying Dutchman]

I didn't notice it before but now I saw the Tuktu EX comes in lenghts of 58, 60 or 62 inches. Ofcourse 58 inch will be great for treestand hunting!  Forgive me my ignorence Ryan, but I really wasn't aware that 2 inches makes such a huge difference ... (uuuhhmmmm, for bows that is       )

There Is another positive point: most of heavily reflexed LB are verticaly unstable and this may induce trouble in accuracy wh en shooting form Is not perfect or academic like hunting shots may be. I am pretty sure this EX design Is more verticaly stable than the LB line thus potentialy more forgiving. Another point Is the smoothness (on effort curve ) of this design: side by side for the same AMO length there Is no way the LB can be smoother than this static recurve.

Stop this!!!! I was just searching for a good reason NOT to buy an Cari-bow EX!!!!

check out the pics on Abe's F/B....some of the most incredible looking bows i've seen. huge bear shot by a young fellow too. Stunning looking bows!

[Manitoba Stickflinger]

Dutchman....Too funny...don't tell my wife that!

I think even more than the 2 inches is the fact that the static tip works to an advantage as well. I know for me, I love 62" bows...but..at times the bottom limb and string angle interfere with my leg while hunting.(especially from a tree)

Target shooting I'll stick to 62"ers. One of those 58"ers of Abe's are screaming at me!

[Darren]

Mine EX sure looked good on you the other day Ryan !!!

You almost looked as cool as me....lol

Ryan, I am terribly sorry, I mailed her already....      

Ohhh darned, one of those Ex-es is screaming my name too. I'm trying to fight this urge.....

[Nativestranger]

To ease your pain. There is already one EX available in stock 62" 48# Just right for you. No need to wait.

[Flying Dutchman]

This one you mean???  http://www.cari-bow.com/RH_48_Tuktu_EX_bocote.php

This one is even prettier, but has not the right weight:  http://www.cari-bow.com/RH_41_Tuktu_EX_wenmar.php

But if I had the money, I would order this one right away:  http://www.cari-bow.com/RH_48_Taiga_EX_myrtleebony.php

So if anybody is in excess of money and doesn't know what to do with it, please fund me with US $ 1.200,- It is for a good purpose, you won't regret it!

[Nativestranger]

Yeah the second one is pretty. The 62"one should be smoother for  your draw. But don't you already have a nice recurve?
