Kathy, I agree with your thoughts on carbon 100%, if you have a short draw, or are limited in draw weight, the carbon helps to level the playing field. If the "Magic Bow" becomes available, I would be interested!! The new one looks great, what are the tips? Jim's tip's are nice!!       Guss

They're sheephorn, Junior.
I would have to have a long talk with The Magic Bow before even considering the severing of our delightful handshake.

I have a question for you Centaur owners can you describe how they compare to a recurve as for smoothness of draw?
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.

I have recurves that draw as smoothly as The Magic Bow, and recurves that draw like there's a mule backing up a ladder on the other end.

It all has to do with limb design, and where the bow stores energy in the course of the draw, and what the limbs are made of, how long they are, and what length draw the bow is designed for.

Balance this against whether the bow is a tad heavy for you, which will make you want to "attack" the string and get it back quickly, and your subjective feel of the bow will likely be different than mine.

Most everybody who has tried them tells me that Leon Stewart's longbows have the smoothest pull they ever felt. Every one of his bows that I have pulled has impressed me that way. This year at Baltimore I will pull one, and compare it against my foam-cored glass Cheyenne, and I bet there will be but a gnat's breath of difference. And I have no clue which will feel smoother.

Maybe you should get out there and do some testing your own bad self! There are worse ways to spend one's time.   :readit:    :D

It is.
My new Centaur is on a rack. The Magic Bow and the Cheyenne are laying on top of one of the piles of archery junk in the living room.

I feel terrible doing that, but the racks are full.

That's a beautiful bow and an even better lookin' dog.

I knew I should have left that dang Jindo in the truck!   :mad:  

Every family should have at least one good-looking member. That's why we have a dog.

When I glom onto a bow, I generally keep it, Larry. I know, a foreign concept, but stay with me here. Because I rarely sell a bow, they tend to pile up. Your bow rack is worn to the bone, though, from all the wood sliding across it en route to and from all the corners of the globe, especially Montana.

Killdeer ~no problem!   :archer:
