special delivery from centaur
« on: November 08, 2010, 10:50:00 PM »
got my first centaur bow today and what an awesome bow.i did some trading with pastor steve hill who knew somebody who wanted to sell his spot on jims list.it was only two weeks out from build time so i pounced.glad i did...bow is a 62" 60@30" yew limb laminations with boo and carbon (xtl) core (four lams instead of three)i asked for a special piece of cocobolo,something with dark streaks in it.boy did he nail it.handle is just unbelieveably perfect and as beautiful as they come.also bought three of his 170gr big game heads.very nice broadheads.i couldnt be happier.this thing is a rocket launcher and smooth as they get and quiet as a church mouse.

Awesome bow. Love the look of those woods.

I come up in May. I can hardly wait. Mine will be a Chimera 62" 70# at 28". Low wrist grip.

matt.....jim had to put four layers in to reach the poundage.the xtl core and boo with it is soooo smooth.it feels like i'm pulling fifty pounds and wow is it fast,shooting my 2613's off it and they fly like darts like always.they weigh 550gr and i'd guess the speed at close to 200fps.will chrono it just for giggles.the grip on this one is a med/high.

Papa,

Fantastic bows aren't they? I had a Centaur and traded for a Big Jim Buffalo. The Centaur was 49# at the Big Jim was 80#. The Centaur was just a little too light for me.

That's why I got on the list for a heavy Centaur. Jim will need to use Carbon to get my Chimera to 70#. But, I bet it will be a Dragon Slayer!

Best wishes on your new Centaur!
