I need all you CENTAUR shooters to answer one question about  CENTAUR longbows.

If there was one thing you could change about a Centaur longbow what would it be?

Jim is in the process of finishing up a VERY special and never before made CENTAUR longbow. Jim had a very great idea and he ran with it to build me the BEST shooting CENTAUR to date. Jim is going to have to hire an answering service for the calls he going to get about this "NEW CENTAUR OPTION"

Did he tell you about the secret bow? If everyone calls him and talks for 3 hours I'm never gonna get my new bow. The sooner he gets my bow done the sooner everyone gets to see pics and believe me you'll want to see pics.

The one thing I can tell you for sure is I'm gonna have quite a few bows for sale once I get this new CENTAUR. I'm not gonna have a need for another bow.

I wouldn't change a thing about mine and it's a glass model.  Only thing he doesn't have now that he used to have is a two piece.

Jim hired me to take the pics. I hope it doesn't interfere with my fall hunt, or the bow will have to wait in the shop until I get back.

sorry comber, but he couldn't possibly be building you the best shooting centaur to date, because I've owned that one for over a year now

I saw the rough bow Friday and can say Im anxious to see the finished bow.  With all the calls though I think it might be done sometime around turkey season? lol

Jim is killing me right now with texting me pics of busted nocks and telling me he's going to keep my bow until he's done building his with the "NEW OPTION".

Alright people, I own three and now I want the new option and I don't even know what it is.  I thought I was the only one Jim talked to on the phone that long, I see no special treatment for me.  I'm not special anymore.  Please tell me so I don't have to bother him.

Jake,

Since inquiring minds want to know   :saywhat:  Is this new option to increase accuracy and does it have any effect on performance?
