Which podcast?

I have had 3.  Wish I still had them.  Great shooting bows and very quick even for stubby draw guys like me!

Among the finest built bows on earth and shoot as good.  Use the search feature youll find all you care to know.

Had one that I bought used but it was a bit too heavy for me.  Would love to have another as I thought it was just an outstanding bow.  Jim is great to work with too.

Excellent bows. The triple carbon elite models are the best bows I have ever shot -- fast, quiet, and easy to shoot well. Jim is an artist of bow making who is very versed in the materials science that makes a limb fast and stable. Plus, he can make a bow as fancy or as elegantly simple as you want it. He is an absolute master. You cannot go wrong with a Centaur.
(can you tell I like them?)  :bigsmyl:

Superb craftsmanship, easy on the eyes and shoot with a speed that’s tough to match. I love the riser, limbs and tips (did I exclude anything )?

I own 2 of his bows.  I have a 60" 51# that I have hunted with the last 5 years, love it.

58" 2 piece double carbon and a ILF set up.  Great bows, whisper quiet and very deadly.  Can't go wrong.

Own two at the moment but have had four in total. Currently own the Chimera model and the others were the Triple Carbon Elites.

Best shooting bow I’ve ever shot, and have killed more game with it as well. Probably due to the extreme confidence I have in the bows.

And Jim has always been a pleasure to deal with and shares freely any tips on bows or hunting.

I have two Chimera's. A 60" 50# takedown and a 60: 45# one piece. They are both smoother than any of my recurves. Amazing bows and really good owner to deal with. If you get one you'll love it. Good Luck
