Yep the Falco was better looking than expected! As for the Centaur finish I love it! I think it adds a lot of character to the bow!

Deciding will be easy. I currently shoot a 25# bow dua to a mystery injury in my arm that leaves Docs and MR people puzzled..
The plan is to use the Falco (33#) as a gateway bow between the 25# BearPaw and the Centaur (40#). I also have a 49# Toelke but that's way in the future!

Update on the shooting : I tried both new bows and I gotta hand it to the Centaur, what a fantastic creation that is!
Even draw, smooth and fast as pig aware of Terry Green hiding in the bushes! I haven't got to fine tuning it yet, but I already know it's gonna be super sweet  :)
As for the Falco, the speed of the bow surprised me. The draw was also very relaxed and smooth, and though it should be able to draw to 29" I could feel it started to gain much more after 25" than before. (but not "halt")
But, I shoot 27 so It's no problem for me^^ One thing I did not expect though was vibrations. Especially on such a light bow.. I am fairly certain this can be tweaked away with some silencers, nock-point and brace height tuning.
But that won't be 'till Monday.

Thanks for all the kind words, It has really been a lovely day!

I am a big fan of the look of the Falco.  I am sure you can tune it in better with some time and patients.  I have not heard of them before so I will be looking into their bows.  Thanks for the pics.

Congratulations Svein!  I like the Centaur.  Jim did a great job on the cocobolo.  Now I am anxious to get mine out of the waiting line.  Show us some pictures of your full draw.
