Title: Masterpiece by Jim Neaves!
Post by: Swiftspeed10 on February 10, 2012, 12:23:00 PM
Well this morning I'm sitting on my couch and a long box appears at the front door, I had been expecting it and was beyond excitement.  Jim really went above and beyond this is the best looking bow I have ever seen!

(sorry for pic quality bow looks so much better in person!)

can't wait to string her up and shoot!

Ebony riser, bighorn on the grip and tips.  Tamo Ash limbs.  Stippled on Palmswell.  58" 57# @28"!

really the veneers look so much better in person!  Damn phone camera!

Nice looking longbow.

It's always nice when a bow you're excitedly looking for shows up at your door step.    :thumbsup:

Very nice...and it looks like you ordered some "serious" finger grooves.

Centaurs are one of my favorites.

Your wood combinations really are nice.. Not hard on the eyes. And Jim sure does a beautiful job! Can you let us know your thoughts on how it shoots? I have an all glass bow of Jim's ,but always enjoy other archers thoughts. Maxx

Strung it up and took some shots outside from 12-18 yards.  First off the bow has no handshock and is very smooth to draw.  My grouping was very nice and the bow was very quiet.  It pointed naturally for me as my hands fit the grip just like a glove.  I cannot wait to hunt with this bow it truly is remarkable, I would definitely suggest a centaur to anyone looking for a top of the line one piece longbow.
