A new bow is on the way to my house. I had Jim Neaves of Centaur Archery build me a new Triple Carbon Elite Takedown bow.
I really like the way a Centaur shoots, and Jim's aesthetic ability to sculpt carbon, wood, and "dark matter" into a beautiful, visually stunning, and functional work of art is beyond compare. This will be my third Centaur, and this time I have to have a takedown that will be my go-to bow for traditional bowhunting travels.
I should have the bow in my hands in a couple of days. Meanwhile, check out Jim's photos of my bow on his Centaur Archery facebook page.

That's real nice Joe! Is it carbon back and belly? I was wanting to try one of his 64" now that he's making them.
Are you taking that bow to Crane?
-
Yes, that bow will come with me to Texas. You can shoot it a bit there and see what you think.
-
Joe....can I have your Centaur leftovers???
-
Leftovers? That would mean that I have too many bows. I don’t know about that.
-
In my opinion, a Centaur is one of the hardest shooting bows made. Great grip, awesome craftsmanship and great customer favorites. Jim Neaves loves what he does and is very passionate about his craft. Enjoy

I had to get home from work before I could have time to resize a photo to post. Here she is...

Here is the other side of the riser. This shows how the takedown system works.

Really beautiful Joe....pork loin in TX....I already smell it!!!
-
A beauty to behold.
-
That is a fine bow. Now that he is doing 64" bows I may have to order one.
-
Looks great Joe. You have reason to be excited
-
You think that new bow
might have a black bear and its future? Eh?
-
Yes to the black bear and to the hog back straps. This bow will be going to Texas and to Quebec.
-
An outstanding bow....Congrats!!!
-
So many bows, so little money!
-
Nice bow, does it shoot as good as your other Centaur bows? It's going to be a long wait ( im on his long list ) for my bow. Trying to decide on a one or two piece take down. Any pros or cons on each?
-
Mine will get here soon -- maybe tomorrow. So, I will let you know how the takedown stacks up against the one-piece after I shoot it a bit.
-
Thanks, also what draw length do you shoot? I shoot 28" and Jim recommended a 58" bow. Was planning on a 60" but just don't know.
-
Great choice Joe, I had one of these until it got too heavy for my old bones. Awesome shooters and really zip an arrow. Have fun in Texas
Say hello to Debra and give Gracie a pat and a rub for me !
-
Huntman: If you draw 28 inches, a 60 inch Centaur will be great for you. I draw 29 and I have both a 60" and a 62" and both are terrific and buttery smooth.
-
Ken: Jim Neaves has designed a very stable, fast, and user friendly longbow. And his workmanship and attention to detail are second to none.
Deborah said "hello" right back at you -- and Gracie said "Arf Arf"
-
Joe … please let Deborah know Rocky says our offer still stands for Gracie …. lol
-
I would like to see the procedure of how that TD system is done.
-
Look at the photos, and you will see that there are two allen-head bolts that go in the side of the grip. If you look carefully at the other photo you will also see that the grip has a vertical seam in it. When you take out the bolts, the grip part of the riser comes apart into two pieces that overlap when together. It is a very solid and ingenious system.

Sweet looking bow after listening to Jim on a podcast Im really considering a Centaur
-
I finally had a chance to shoot the new bow. Smooth as butter and very quiet. It is also quite fast.
Flawless craftsmanship too.
