I recieved last summer my Caribow Peregrine and I was very impressed.

Now I am thinking about another one....

But I am torned between:

- Buying a Peregrine again in the same poundage,as backup
- Buying a Featherhorn which is a "real" longbow
- Buying a Tuktu which is a recurve and pulls even sweeter.

Don't say to me: "Buy all three!" I hate that!

I'd get the Tuktu, same poundage, to use as backup

Though I have to say, I've never even seen a Cari-Bow in real life, so I don't know nothing, except for what I read here!

Good Luck though!

I've shot all of them. I like the Silver Fox the best!

I agree .... You forgot to include what I consider to be the best of all Cari-Bows

...that being the Silver Fox T/d LB

A back up? You need another reason, it is very doubtfull you will need more than a spare string for a backup.

I too have the peregrine and love it,I bought the wolverine 2 years ago for a backup hunting bow and it shoots very much like the peregrine but is shorter and lighter, great bow for treestand or ground blind hunting. abe makes some excellant bows.

Here I sit with 2 Peregrines---and 2 1/2 Silver
Foxes---and I am wondering what next. LOL.I like the hand fit on the Silver Fox better than the Peregrine--but that might just be me with my small hands.

Good luck with your decision on a bow ~~choice ~~. Alonzo THE ELF.~~~~

Flying Dutchman · « **Reply #10 on:** January 11, 2011, 02:21:00 PM »

Hey Alonzo,

what if you compare the shooting characterisitics of the Peregrine and the Silver Fox? Is the SF as fast and smooth as the Peregrine is?

Pete W · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2011, 02:27:00 PM »

You can justify a 3PC silverfox for the need to have a smaller package for traveling.
Or a 2 pc Peregrine.

or how about a light weight bow for the "WIFE".

My wife doesn't like archery Pete! She hasn't strenght enough to pull a bow, even one of 20 lbs is to heavy for her. But I can always look for another wife ofcourse..... I just wished you hadn't give me this idea Pete, you are a wicked man....!

the elf · « **Reply #13 on:** January 11, 2011, 02:33:00 PM »

Hey AD. I don't know if the silver fox is as fast as the peregrine or not but both are very smooth and for me are very pleasing to shoot.Speed is nice
but--------dead is dead.

Flying Dutchman · « **Reply #14 on:** January 11, 2011, 02:36:00 PM »

You are right Alonzo, but I shoot 3D only. Speed IS an issue here, because at a difficult tournament we have to shoot trough tiny little holes in the branches in order to hit our target. How faster the arrow, the flatter the traject.

I use flowers with my wife. She totally gets it... you can't have too many flowers.... so she understands about my bows.

God bless,Mudd

Flying Dutchman · « **Reply #16 on:** January 11, 2011, 02:38:00 PM »

I always cook for her in the evening and bring her breakfast on bed every now and then. That helps too!

Manitoba Stickflinger · « **Reply #17 on:** January 11, 2011, 04:23:00 PM »

Although I did not chrono. the bows, the Silver fox seemed to be the quickest. Abe will know, just ask him!

Hopewell Tom · « **Reply #18 on:** January 11, 2011, 04:36:00 PM »

Tuktu. I had one but sold it here as I've gone over to the left side. Fit like a glove, shot nice too.
