No wrong decisions here. Abe makes a great bow.

Well, in a couplw weeks I'm looking to shoot his Slynx and that Wolverine again. Fine bows! You can't go wrong as long as the spousal unit doesn't bust you up  :knothead:

For longbows the Peregrin, Wolverine and Silver Fox all feel great in my hand. For recurves the Tuktu is my favorite, it seems to fit like a glove. I would agree with Ryan that the Silver Fox is definitely a front runner if your in the market for a new Cari-bow. Good luck with your choice and your better half.

I have had a Featherhorn for several years. Made the mistake of letting my oldest grandson try my recurves and longbow as he wanted to go trad. Unfortunately for me and fortunately for Abe, he 'stole' my Featherhorn and I 'had' to order a Tundra Wolf! Both are (were) great shooters. In June I had an accident and broke my Tundra Wolf and am now waiting for a Wolverine. I have been shooting a 54lb Wolverine this fall and am very impressed with the bow as a whole and the speed in particular. Down side is I now have to down size my collection of bows to pay for the new Wolverine!
IMO you can't go wrong with any model bow made by Abe, longbow or recurve; it is personal preference!

lol..... I Just ordered another Wolverine yesterday "take down". I'm lucky though, I only live just over an hour away from Abe, I get to play with the new bows. The down fall, Every time i go their it costs me money.I'm sure I have paid lots of Abe's bills over the years...lol I'm glad I have an understanding wife !!!!! The featherhorn is a real nice shooting bow. The Best hunting year I have ever had in my life for taking big game animals, was with a featherhorn. I still have that bow, and it is from the early 90's. Good luck Ad.

I picked up a Peregrine 2pc 62" 51@28 and it is a really sweet bow!!! Really fast, quiet and not finicky about arrows. It's the first one I've owned so it's the only one I can talk about. If all Mr. Penners bows are build this well I'd say it's a hard choice.

I would like to try a Wolverine. I think it would be a sweet little hunting bow  :)

Ok,

at the moment I am leaning towards the Silver Fox for the following reasons:

- Take down, so easy to travel with
- available with 64 inch long limbs, so it will have even a sweeter draw
- more mass in the riser (I think)
- I love the way how the premium risers look and how the blend with the limbs!

Now I have to raise some funds and start arranging my divorce....   ;)
