What can one buy after two Cari-bow Peregines? It is hard to improve such bows... Nevertheless, I always had this strange desire for a take-down, maybe a Silver-Fox then? On the other hand, I always had a second strange desire for a recurve or.... Uh, wait a minute? Why not a take-down recurve then? That's two flies with one stroke as we say in the Netherlands. Yeah baby that's right.
So I just bought this bow from my good friend Hubert from Germany.
It is a like new Whippenstick Phoenix, Ken's newest model. The word is that is is the finest recurve on the market today. I tend to believe it...
This baby pulls as sweet as hot butter and launches a 9 grains arrow close to or over the 200 fps.
It is 44lbs@28" but since I draw 29.5 she will deliver something like 48-49.
It can easily compete with my Cari-bow Peregrines.. Smoooooth, smoking fast and dead-quiet..
And yeah that's right, that is a checkered handgrip!
All it needs is some antler limb bolts and an SBD skinny string, because no other strings are allowed on my bows!
Bocote/wenge riser and bocote limbs.
