New to me Centaur Arrived!
« on: July 26, 2014, 09:55:00 PM »
After shooting a friends Centaur last week end, I downloaded an order form and filled it out, Hand tracing and all!

Before I could send it off, that same buddy called and told me, "Centaur in your specs up on Tradgang".

When I opened the thread and saw the bow, I couldn't type, "I'll take it!", fast enough!

It arrived at the shop this afternoon and looks even better in person!
 
 
 

It's a Take Down, Triple Carbon Elite, Dark Matter with Bocote scales, Elk antler tips and Elk antler finger grooves. It is an absolute work of art!

I didn't have a lot of time to shoot it. From what little I did, I can tell you, it is very smooth, fast and quiet!

It's about 57# at my 29 3/4" draw. It was shooting my 575gr arrows at 187fps!

Can't wait for daylight so I can get to know it a little better!

The only thing I may add is skins. The more I look at it, the more the carbon backing grows on me though!

If you do skins consider having Jim do them.  His skin jobs are incredible, they look painted on.
