Congrats on a beautiful bow, may it serve you wel the coming years! I own a Peregrine and Abes craftmanship is second to none.
I see some dark liners in the limb cores, is that carbon???
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that string! [/i]                            :rolleyes:

Frank can you imagine what one of these Tuktu's could do at 70#?  :::whistle:::

Dutchman- I'm not sure what the black layer is? I think Abe would have told me if it was carbon?  Black glass?

Great review....I am thinking about a recurve and now I have one more bow to confuse the decision...

i am literally wiping the drool off my keyboard.

i have several great bows, but there is no doubt in my mind that my next bow will be a Tuktu EX.

luckily, my buddy Dave is on the list for the pass-around bow. even though it's a righty and i'm a lefty, i will shoot it with pleasure.

:saywhat:   ahem, I am out of control?  LOL mike if I am out of control what are you??     :p    :bigsmyl:      

Yes I have gone through a lot of bows, but that's half the fun.  I have become a connoisseur.  My little harem is largely complete.  With the exception of a few others LoL.

I am seriously calling dibs if your sickness gets ahold of you and you move on from that Tuktu (I know you won't), haha!

Top notch.  Any bow that says "Handcrafted by Abe" on it is beautiful and a top shooter. Love it!
