...almost 8. She hung out with Doug Campbell for a few days, so now she shoots better than me! smarter, too...if you have any Centuar questions I am sure she would be willing to help! haha. The only things she draws the lines on are Manitee's and Shamu's...everything else she will let us shoot and eat!  :)

Great looking bow.  How heck was the basket weave on the limbs done.

This is why a carbon-backed Centaur takes fourteen months to get finished. If you will notice, Jim called me a little over a week before the bow was "finished up" and delivered. The finishing up is easy, just a few swipes over a machine and a spritz of finish and she's done! The part that takes so long is separating out all the little fossilized carbon fibers from shale found in Jim's Montana mountain slopes, combing them straight and applying "product", and then weaving them by hand into a backing material. Jim can only sit on that concrete floor for so long before his legs go to sleep, and he needs to get up and move around and get the blood flowing again. Plus he has knots the size of hens' eggs on the outsides of his ankles from sitting cross-legged on the concrete.

This is worth every extra cent I paid him, though, for his discomfort and his time, as the bow's unique plaited backing gives it snap, fire, and durability that far exceed the techno-cool looks of the material.

SOO that's how it's done.   :saywhat:   I like how it only takes a spritz of finish.

A handsome hound and a beautiful bow.  Two of my 3 favorite things in one photo! Wow!

Nice bow Killy.  Thanks for sharing.

A "double carbon" Centaur won the Walk the Talk get together, blowin' 195 plus at 10 gpp (22" power stroke, "regular" string).  Translated, they are fast and efficient shooters.  Love the wood choices.  Killy there is a kind of rule, one must post a pic of the bow drawn, arrow and all, so can see the lovely curvy shape... and admire the bow.

Calvin good to see yer handle.  Hope all is well up yonder.  What do you hear from that lil orphan boy, Shane if I recall correctly?  Hope he go plugged in somewhere good and taken root before this crash hit.

Hang around MPS...we wanna keep Dano happy. :)

1st I saw the woven carbon was on Ed Schlief's newest version of Griz Sticks. Tough stuff and very resiliant. So much better looking than the flat stuff for limbs I think.

Excellent call, Killy.   :)   And I will continue to let you believe what you will about it's earth extraction and fabrication!

'lo Draino. pass the lemonaide. please.  :)  David, I was just admiring the gossamer tips on your bows with Mr. Doug Campbell...he agreed that they were pretty awesome. He knows a thing or two about longbows methinks. I think of you often as the bows are on prominant display in my new house. I will keep my promise and drop some meat with them sometime in the near future...

Sorry for the intrution Killdeer! nice of you to share your stump. I see you havent lost your wit or creativity with words...I always did think you were an incredible person. I bet you know lots of stuff.  :)  cheers!

MPS, your intrusions are most welcome. Your extrusions, on the other hand...   "[dntthnk]"
I was pleased to see the ol' gang giving each other what-for again. I just got back from taking the requisite pics. While I was gathering props, the dog took the opportunity to do a little hunting. She killed a groundhog. Dammy they gots teef! As roly-poly as groundhogs seem to be, this fella was right skinny. Feeling his hams, he had hardly anything there. There was some sort of goo on one of his rear feet, too, looked like pus. We are not going to eat it. I am glad that this dog is well immunized, and she did not suffer so much as a scratch. She is grinning a little wide, and looks very smug.

I will have to download, edit, add mascara and subtract hair, and upload the photos, but I am fletching up some arras for tomorrow, though. And when I pulled out the trusty arrow saw, I found that the blade is broken. I'll have to use the one at the club tomorrow, durn it.  I probably needed a different type of blade anyway, as the one on there is I don't know how old, and carborundum. What does all three types of arrows well? (wood, alum., and carbons)

It's a 3" wheel for a half-inch arbor. The motor goes way fast until you load it, and then it runs at about 7000. I think it is 23,000 rpm without a load. I better buy several wheels, because if I don't, arrow saws will be legislated out of existence, or they will stop making wheels because they put silicone or some such into the air and the Surgeon General will find that it causes acne in Californians, spotted owls or teenagers.

Time to put another fletch on.
