Caribow Static tip?

[md126]

Hello all,  Anyone have or shoot a Caribow Taiga or Turku static tip, I believe it's the EX limbs?  If so how do they compare to other static tip recurves like Stalker, RER, Bigfoot, etc...?   Any other comments on Abe's bows welcome also, either here or PM.  Thanks!  Mike

Just got a new-to-me Tuktu two-piece recurve and love it. It shoots better than I do, as do most other bows. It compares favorably to other static recurves that I own, like the RER, Stalker and Sovereign Ballistic. Workmanship and fit are exceptional.

I shot one a few years ago Abe was passing around.  It was fun and shot well, but I'm just not a recurve guy.  It did however solidify my decision to buy a Caribow, I just went with the two piece featherhorn.

What can I say about Abe's bows?  well, my first one will not be my last!  I hoe to add a two piece wolverine someday.  The two piece system is rock solid and flawless.  The handle shape is second to none, natural pointing and repeatable.  No regrets or second guessing buying a Caribow!

Have never even seen one of Abe's bows in Texas or Oklahoma where I spend most of my time.. Would love to have an opportunity to shoot one. Will keep looking until the opportunity presents itself. Until then I guess a Caribow will be at the top of my wish list.

Thanks, anyone else?

I have two of the two piece ex two piece bows. Great bows with a great grip. For some reason I seem to shoot my slynx and silver fox better. I also like a little more weight in the riser but that could be fixed with a strap on quiver. Mine are both 60 inch bows and marked 47 at 28 and 51 at 28. These bows are quick with a lot of preload in the limbs.I may consider selling if you are interested.

I shot my Cari-bow Tuktu 1 pc. at Compton one day this year.  A few archers commented it seemed FAST!  They were suprised when I said it was 47#'s

Less mass than a Stalker, Abe's quality is top notch, I personally like the grip on my RER a little better but that is just me.
