Hey Svein, I really like the Falco, he did a great job merging the bacote and the glass. Very sharp looking! How do you like that textured finish on the Centaur? Looking forward to seeing your reviews. Good shooting!

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!
