last one shawn? yeah right Bro

Shawn Leonard · April 13, 2013, 07:31:00 PM

Jeff, at least for a while

I actually have 9 bows left but I am down to shooting just one right now, maybe one of my Oldies like the 63 Grizzly I just got, but that is going to be a raffle item in my St. Judes hunt next year so the Tuktu EX and my Belcher/Border combo should be it! Shawn

Can't wait for you to get that one

Keefer · April 13, 2013, 07:44:00 PM

Shawn,
We need to give you a new handle name "Ralphie Boy" from The Christmas story comes to mind ..
Waiting for Santa to bring that "Red Rider"...
Yep if we put on a set of coke bottle glass's on Shawn I can see the image of "Ralphie"...
I'm waiting to see the day you get to unwrap the package... Just remember "FRAGILE" is a french word

Shawn...good luck with the bow. I shot a few of Abe's bows at Denton Hill one year. They shoot sweet and his workmanship is superb. You have a real sweet looking bow there.

Shawn Leonard · April 13, 2013, 07:59:00 PM

Thanks Joe!! I have ordered a lot of customs over the years and have owned many that were gently used but for some reason this one is different, I had a feeling when I first saw it on Abes web-site that this was a bow I could settle in with and hunt with for a good long while!! I just hope I don't put my eye out with it(Ralphie)

trying to string it with those big hooks!! Shawn

Beautiful Bow!

Difficult to actually imagine that a bow of this quality and beauty even found its way to the inventory list. A pickers dream.

Will be looking forward to reading your comments and perceptions once the two of you have become well acquainted.

Sean B · April 14, 2013, 09:07:00 AM

Ill be there on the 3rd, can't wait to see it. Just keep that RER away from me. That is one sweet shooting bow!

Shawn Leonard · April 14, 2013, 12:11:00 PM

Sean, that is awesome!! I will PM ya my phone number. If ya want you could come up Thurdsday evening and spend the night and we could roost some birds, save ya a long drive in the morning. If ya got a blind that would be nice as we could set that after roosting the birds. We will have 4 of us and two very inexperienced guys, so you could take one and I the other. You know both of them, Nate and Meat!! Nate has an absolutely killer spot as do I, so maybe we will get lucky!

Abe just e-mailed me and got my address, so it looks like I could have this beauty by the end of the week!! Gonna be at 56#s at my draw, so may need to play a bit with different spines other than the .500s I have been shooting! Shawn

6feathers · April 14, 2013, 12:29:00 PM

Shawn, that is a beautiful bow!!!

LeeNY · April 14, 2013, 12:32:00 PM

Beautiful bow, Shawn. You've always had an eye for good looking bows!

Bladepeek · April 14, 2013, 01:11:00 PM

Shawn, what RER do you have? I've owned a couple XRs, a Vital and now a Retro. The Retro is a 58" and a few pounds over my comfort level for any serious volume of shooting, but could well be my "go to" hunting bow. It's light as a feather, the grip fits me fine and it is QUICK. I have an XLR on order that I'll pick up at the K'zoo Expo, but I will be very interested in your evaluation of the Caribow compared to the RER.

I thought the XLR would be my last bow, but who knows?

Shawn,

Big Ed · April 14, 2013, 01:25:00 PM

Maybe i'll just have to visit to check it out in person.

Shawn Leonard · April 14, 2013, 01:27:00 PM

Arroyo is all I have left. I will put this Tuktu thru the paces and see what I think. I am even gonna chrono it along side my Border Hex-5's. My buddy has a shooting machine and just curious. I could care less as long as it is smooth and I shoot it well. Now I know it is coming I really am going nuts! Shawn

Sixby · April 14, 2013, 01:53:00 PM

Maybe it will outperform the Border, I'm rooting for the Caribow. Grin Its real close to the design of my Talon 1. I know its a super fast bow.

God bless, Steve

Shawn Leonard · April 14, 2013, 05:18:00 PM

Steve, I will have to try one of yourbows as well one day!! I know a lot of guys make smokers but if they are not stable they are tough to shoot, I hear yours like Abes are both! Shawn

Sean B · April 14, 2013, 05:44:00 PM

Great Shawn, I'll bring my Predator Den and a few "statues". I'll be there Friday evening, probably coming from Delaware Co.

Shawn Leonard · April 16, 2013, 06:27:00 PM

Just talked to Abe, bow shipped today!! They had a bad snowstorm the last couple days and could not get out to ship it!! Keep your fingers crossed it gets here by Saturday! He ships from North Dakota so I don't have to wait for it to clear customs!

Shawn
