I have! They are top shelf stuff.  The finish is perfect, and you won't be dissapointed with the performance either.  Good stuff. Good man...
Blessings,
Steve

I was just drooling over one of the bows in his inventory today. Now only if I had $1320 lying around...

Maybe I'm greedy, but I've always prefered two $650 bows to one $1300 bow.
Is it September yet?!

There is a review of Abes peregrine on my site    www.peteward.com   in the trad review section.
 
I have shot a few other Cari-bows and all were flawless in every way,and the Peregrine is a very good performer.

I had the tundra wolf made up for me in 60 inch, 55@26,  with all the moose antler trim, with the wenge lams in the riser.  The bow shoots as good as it looks.  And the bow looks good!   :thumbsup:

Now this is my kind of thread. I have a review on the silver fox in the review section of the forums. With Abe's bows it's plain and simple. You get more than you pay for! His workmanship and attention to detail in my opinion can't be beat. First off his bows are pure performers. They are very smooth and will rip an arrow with virtualy no hand shock. Second if you really appreciate  detail Abe's your guy. Everything on that bow has been crafted to a level of detail that's really hard to find these days. Just notice the lines in the last pic. I don't think a bow can get any better than my silver fox but I'm looking real hard at the tundra wolf. Keep us posted on what you decide to get. Here's some pics for ya!

I have one Silver Fox and am getting another. That is how much I like them.
 T.J., Mine is gonna look a lot like yours. Birdseye Maple and Pau Ferro riser and Birdseye Maple vaneers with antler tips and antler at the limb bolts. 62" amo and 50# @ 28". Just a matter of paying for her. LOL

One of the finest built bows out there in my opinion...and from my testing, in the top 10 for performance.

I've had a Featherhorn since fall of 2000. It's stood up very well to quite a lot of use. Abe's bows are always great lookers and performers. The finishing and detail work is second to none.

Hey Donald, there's one on Abe's inventory page that is identical    :eek:   to the one you just described. Check it out.
