I am starting to become a bit worried - I think I need to join 'bowaholics anonymous'!#$%&*!!  I have just recieved my awesome little Renegade bow and now I am hankering for just 'one more'.  

I need a two piece takedown - I have my Horne's three piece (but that is a bit heavy for my shoulder at the moment so am not shooting that too much), and my new Renegade is not a takedown.  I still just can't get past that one-piece bow look - fit a bowbolt to it and hey presto, one has the perfect bow.

I would dearly love to order another Renegade Spirit ll from Dave cause it is such an awesome bow, but alas, Dave does not use the bowbolt system!!

I have therefore narrowed my choice down to two bows.  I shoot a very high wrist-grip and the narrow grip on my Horne's three piece longbow does not fit my grip perfectly, I am not getting high scores with this bow because of that.

However I love the look of that little Brush bow (and I already know the quality of Horne's), and Pete Ward just said some awesome things about the new Cari Peregrine.

Can some kind soul help clarify the differences in these two bows, I think they will be much the same in price and build time - I guess it gets down to feel, speed quality of build etc.  Thanks in anticipation - Sutto

I do not think Abe offers the bow bolt system.

You are dead right Danny - I must have gotten my diapers in a tangle.  I thought I had seen on his site where he did - but he wrote back and said he only offers that sleeve.  Do you know anything about that system or how it compares to the bowbolt!

Some more opinions please on the Horne's Brush bow and the Cari?

I haven't shot the Bushbow yet, but the Perigrine IS ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS!!!!!

I have shot Pete's and if I could find a way to keep it I would.  That said, I have a 3 piece Horne Longbow coming  I got in a trade and I have heard there quality and perfromacne is top notch.  I would have a hard time not ordering a Perigrine if I was going to order a new longbow.  LOL!!!!

Thanks Carbon - I really love my Horne's too and the quality of build is what has me sold.  It is just that I discovered Abe uses a different takedown system to the bowbolt - so I am not sure which is best.  I love my three piece Horne's, but I just can't get past the shape of a beautiful one-piece - they really look quite sensual.

I have not had any experience with the sleeve that Abe makes, but if he made and designed it, you can bet it is good. Here is a pic of a system he made on my Taiga that is similar to the old bev-loc, it is a great system.
