My Centaur Arrived!
« on: September 21, 2015, 08:22:00 AM »
My new Centaur came in a few days ago, and Jim did a great job with it. It is a 62" Triple Carbon, 51@29. It has a Coco bolo riser with a Dark Matter palm swell. In between the Dark Matter and the belly layer of carbon is a "thin  blue line", the limbs are backed with water moccasin skins that were sent to me by GoldenHawk in 2006 after I made a self bow for his grandson..

I have named it "Sheepdog".

 

 


 

Some will understand the name and the "thin blue line" reference, some will remember GoldenHawk.  All have meaning to me and make this bow very special.

Thanks for the work Jim!

Awesome looking stick! I just shot my first Centaur a few weeks ago, and boy, was I impressed. I did not care for the grip on that one, but it shot like a dream in every other aspect!

Interesting name on the bow. I read a book by a self defense expert that said there are 3 types of humans. Sheep, wolves, and sheep dogs. Those who can't/don't defend themselves, those who prey on others, and those who are equipped in all ways to defend others. I like it. Great looking bow as you would expect from Centaur.

That's the nicest centaur I've ever see. That coco is insanely beautiful. I dig the name too.

Nice looking bow for sure. Really like the coco bolo riser. One of my favorite woods.
