Going to buy a longbow in the next few weeks after my selfbow died Been looking at Abe Penners bows and would like some opinions.Looking at his 60 inch longbow.
-
Don't hesistate!
-
I don't currently own one nor have I......... yet. A Cari-Bow Wolverine is on my short list of must have bows. I shot alot of bows at the Kalamazoo expo and Abes bows really impressed me !
-
I have the peregrine and the wolverine and love them both. Abe's workmanship is second to none.
the wolverine is my tree stand bow, the peregrine is for everything else. they shoot about the same.If you go with a cari-bow take advantage of the antler accents they really dress up a bow.
-
Great bows from a great man and bowyer. Ken
-
What I know about Abe Penner is all good. Never seen or shot one of his bows, but from what I've heard they are great. Of course I can say the same about the "Shrew" bows. Neither of these bowyers ever make it across the Red River. Our loss I imagine. Course I seldom cross the "Red" myself unless heading out to hunt.
-
I own three of Abe's longbows-- one Featherhorn, two Silver Fox. Plus two recurves. All a great performing bows, and pretty to look at as well.
-
I had a recurve. It was one of those bows I've owned that was so pretty I was afraid I would scratch it. Ha Ha. It shot and pointed well. I liked the grip a lot. It was not a fast bow but it was stable, well built and like Bill Turner, I've never heard a bad comment about Abe.

Think I will probably pull the trigger and spend some money if I have any left after I get my taxes done tomorrow morning,and think it is going to be ok
-
he makes fine bows and I really like the options he has with wood burning.
-
Abe's daughter lives in the Sherman/Denison area just south of the Red River on I-75 about 75 miles North of Dallas. He needs to come for a visit and bring a few bows. He could probably pay for his trip. I would definitely drive to Sherman/Denison to shoot one of his bows. They sure are pretty.
-
Awesome bows. Abe and his wife are nice people to talk bows with. I also like the Wolverine and the Slynx models. Good shooters and the beavertail grip is excellent.
-
I've had my Cari-bow taiga takedown recurve for 11 years and it's still the only bow I hunt with. I will never get rid of it.
-
I have two silver foxs love them great bows
-
The Peregrin is my go to bow. I really want to try a Silver Fox.
-
Have owned Tundra Wolves, Silver Fox, Featherhorn and Taiga. Great shooting bows, superior craftsmanship and Abe and Tina are great to deal with.
-
I own a Tuktu, and have shot a Wolverine and a Silver Fox. I haven't shot a Cari-bow that I didn't like, the grips are awesome. I wish I owned more of Abes bows. I don't think you will be disappointed with any model that Abe offers. Good luck.
Here is a picture of my diamond riser Tuktu with cocobolo and wenge wood in the riser.

Have a snowbird and wolverine longbow, they are finely crafted and great shooting bows.
-
I have one of his new Lynx models on order, he has been great to work with, just 2 more months to wait. He sent me one of his bows to try out,I was very inpressed with the craftsmanship, love the thumb rest.
His daughter lives in Paris, Texas by the way.

i've owned them all but a Silver Fox. The Peregrine is right up there performance wise with any of the other "high performance" bows that are on the market. The craftsmanship is superb, and working with Abe is a pleasure! i have two Peregrines and one of them is usually in my hand when i go to the woods!
-
I have 2 1/2 Silver Foxes and 2 Peregrines--
nothing else needs to be said.

Last year I ordered a Cari-bow Peregrine and it excceed all my expectations. Verey pretty, craftamnship all the way, very sweet draw and very fast.
The best bow I ever owned. Now I am saving money for a Silver-Fox, for I want a take -down to.
See for more details my review (3 parts) in the review dept.
-
You cannot go wrong with any of Abes bows. I know I love my Silver Fox and have owned several as well as the Featherhorn longbow and Taiga recurve.
-
I have had a Taiga Recurve from Abe that I purchased brand new 13 years ago and it still shoots like a dream. Doesn't matter who picks it up, it shoots where you look.
I say go for it
-
I have a Taiga on order, all i have to do is wait. Only 10 months to go.(patience is a virtue) so they say.
-
Last year I purchased a 45 lb Peregrine from Abe which appears to be almost the same bow as that owned and reported upon by another member...Flying Dutchman. Everything he has reported upon is absolutely accurate. Abe's Peregrine is a high performance bow that has left my other bows hanging on the rack. You cannot go wrong with the purchase of one of Abe's bows and I highly recommend his products.
-
I have owned three of Abe's Featherhorn longbows and this is one of my all time favorite longbows...still have the first one I ever had him make for me. Very sweet shooting, quiet and good performers! I haven't shot the Peregrine, Wolverine or Slynx but wouldn't mind owning any one of these. Abe does fantastic work!
-
Abe is a true artist that makes great bows . I have a Peregrine, Featherhorn, and a Taiga for good measure.
