Member Pigsooie brought one to shoot 3D league a couple of weeks ago and let me shoot it afterward. Awesome bow! Dead in the hand and mean arrow flight.

Rory shot my 54" 49@28 inferno and it will launch and arrow for sure. I also have a an Elkheart and a Shrew Classic hunter that Gregg made. Gregg is a great guy and really knows his stuff. You cant go wrong with one of his bows.

I have a few of Gregg's bows, love the grip and everything else.  They are great hunting bows for blinds, tree stands or on the ground.

So let me get this straight...a Shrew thread gets some traction so you bring up a Java Man thread from a year ago? Very classy.

Gregg makes some amazing sticks. A Javaman is always a good decision, zero question.  They are bred to hunt.

I knew Gregg from a non-bowhunting forum before I knew he was a bowyer.  If I were to buy a new bow I would certainly look to him.  

As stated above: he does (or did) make the Shrew bows for a period, and they don't get any better than that.

Anyone know how one of Gregg's bows compares to a Centaur?

Did someone do something wrong? Re-read the thread, guess I'm missing something... seems like someone's interested in a JavaMan bow?

I was wondering the same thing. I just thought someone had done what I do often. I do a search and when I find a thread I like I respond to it. If it is an old thread I figure someone might stumble on the answer and get a benefit.  Trust me, if you dig deep here there is a goldmine of information in some of the older threads.

Fritz, I've had a 60" glass Centaur, 45#, and a 58" JavaMan Falcon, 48#. Not quite a side by side comparison due to the different lengths and a few pounds difference, but for me...
The Falcon grip fit me better, and the bow seemed a little more "pointable". It was quicker, but the had 3 more pounds.

The Centaur was a little quieter, once I put an SBD on it. I think I could have gotten the Falcon more quiet with a different string and silencers.

PM me if I can be of more help.

Roger is right,  JavaMan bows are very classy.  I've been shooting them for the last four years and i couldn't ask for a better hunting bow. Quick to point, fast and silky smooth.
