Centaur's - It's all true!!!
« on: June 16, 2010, 10:47:00 AM »
I've been following all the Centaur threads and for some time now I've been trying to get my hands on one so that I could see for myself what all the fuss was about. I recently acquired a new to me Chimera thanks to a fellow TG'er and while I'm no authority on trad bows I do know whats important to me in a bow and I've got to tell you that I'M A BELIEVER!!!! Light in the hand, grip fits like a glove, stable, very fast (as fast as a bow thats 4 lbs heavier) quiet and extremely accurate. It may just be my Holy Grail. Here's a few pics  58" 51#@28"

There's a reason why I have a bunch of spots on Jims list and now you know why. I've got a few Centaurs and I'll be getting a few more. I can tell you that you'll never find a bow that is more arrow spine forgiving. The Centaur is the only bow I've ever been able to bareshaft a broadhead where I could probally hunt without fletching. I keep a bare shaft arrow in my quiver at 3d shoots and when anyone ask me what it's for I shoot it at about 30 yards and they don't believe how it flys.

I have a Centaur as well. Just a fantastic bow.

I am on the list for another. Mine is 52# at 28". Arrows scream out of it and amazingly goes where I am looking. (I am a Crappy Shooter).

My next one will be a beast 80# at 28" (52# is a little lite fo me, now)

Here is my current 58" 52# at 28" Carbon Elite

Great looking bow Fred.

 If I were going to shoot a 1pc, or 2pc longbow, it would be a Centaur.

You have good taste in bows my friend.

Congrats

I'm glad you found one! I have been looking for a lefthanded take-down for a long time. Any lefty's owners want to sell?

These bows are truly amazing!  ;)  

I found one on here a few months ago and wanted to see what the fuss was about.  It did not take long for me to become convinced.  :thumbsup:  

Then along comes the previous owner with a big tear in his eye, and I give in.  He was sorry he ever got rid of it.  :confused:  

Now I have to order one or find another.  :banghead:
