Double Trouble - Two tubes in the mail today! UPDATE pg 2
« on: April 06, 2011, 11:58:00 AM »
Came home from work to find to tubes in the mail, and my birthday ain't for another week!

Could feel the blood pumping as I carried them home and laid them down, ready for the unveiling^^

 

Let's test you skill on bowmodels/makers   ;)  
First one to be opened is the brown tube.
Hint: It's a European maker

 

 

Got it yet? No?

 

 

This one's fairly unknown yin the US I think
It's a Falco Storm. 54" 33@28, Bocote and black glass. Also has the recurve grip option.
If I remember correctly bows from Falco have won a lot of tournaments in the EU, which at their modest price is good.

Now for the next one^^

Well, this one is to easy for you, so no guessing needed!

 

 

 

That's right, it's a Centaur! With a really nice Cocobolo riser and dark Myrtle limbs.
I also opted for the XTL lam.
The bow is 58" and 40@28.

 

I really have to hand it to Jim Neaves, he sure builds a nice stick! And customer service is over the top.
He told me a couple of weeks ago that the bow had some blems on the upper and lower belly and he would build me a new one if I wanted.
After seeing some pics, I decided to go for the bow, as they didn't seem that big.
He gave me a discount and sent extra strings and was a real craftsman to deal with! He sure stands by his product!

Anyway, gonna shoot them tonight, and I'll post an update later!
In the mean time..

 

 

Both bows arrived safe and sound, and as promised! Thank you Jim and Siim for a great pre-birthday present  :D

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!

Really nice bows.  The myrtle on your Centaur looked like black glass at first, like it dark like that!
