Title: My new CENTAUR
Post by: smokin joe on April 25, 2021, 11:12:32 AM
I have had this new Centaur takedown for a couple of weeks. I have tested the heck out of it and it is amazing.

Here are some pictures:

It looks nice, what little we can see.  It's a really different two piece connection than any I've seen so far.  Very intriguing.

It is a Centaur Triple Carbon Elite takedown. The wood is Buckeye Burl. The I-beam is Centaur's dark matter. The specifications are: 60" length; 45 pounds at 29" draw.

It was very easy to tune, and sends an arrow down range with impressive speed and stability.

That is a smokin' lookin' longbow Joe!! 

And I love the specs; just what I would like  :bigsmyl:


Just had a thought, wouldn't it be cool to have the bolt cap ends film dipped to a wood look !

Take a look at Terry Green's new Centaur thread here in the PowWow and then look at the photos of mine here. Jim Neaves of Centaur Archery had some incredible looking buckeye burl and made gorgeous bows out of it. Mine shoots better than it looks and that is REALLY saying something.

I had very exact specifications for Jim about the grip and finger grooves so that the bow would lock into my hand exactly like another Centaur that he made for me. He really nailed it. Just perfect.

I am amazed by the quality of the bows that are available to us these days. We are so fortunate to have such fine bowyers.

Both your and Terry's bows are amazing. I shot one once and it was a completely different feeling shot! But shot lights out. Did you guys have to wait the 14 months? I was thinking about getting on the list!

Yes. The wait was about 14 months, and worth it.
