Anyone have the pleasure of comparing the shooting of these?
Thanks,
Paul
All excellent bows and even better bowyers. I have shot all of those bows and my favorite is the shrew.
Just my opinion,

Charlie,
Why?

Had all of these and they are all great bows.They are all plenty quick and quiet with little to no handshock and crafted to high standards.The centaur is the fastest I would say if that matters or is a priority for ya.The shrew points easily and naturally and is one tough bow.The moab is is a super all around bow as well and the wait time for a custom bow may be the shortest if you wanted to order one.Shrew and centaur have a pretty long waiting list.These are all great choices.I would test em if possible and see what you think.
Get a message to tim Fishell he has many shrews and a moab. He currently has a posting called Quick Question
The only bow I cannot comment on is the Centaur. As far as the other 2 go they are both awesome bows. But pretty different styles. The MOAB is a highly reflex deflex longbow with a straight handle and small locator for your hand. The shrew is also a reflex deflex but not the same exreme as the MOAB. It has an awesome locator grip with a forward handle. This makes is almost impossible to not grip the bow the same every time. I dont think you can go wrong with either bow.
MOAB not a short wait, i am at 7 months now,soon i hope.
7 months is a short wait..

Yup Shrew wait is a year!! I am almost there only a month or so to go!!
7 months is killing me,hope its in soon.
I can't comment on the other two bows, but the Centaur is an excellent bow. It's fast, hard hitting and very quiet. I like my Black Widow, but the Centaur is my go to bow. Jim Neaves is an excellent bowyer and he always has the time to answer any questions that you may have. He has a long wait due to the fact that a lot of people are ordering his bows. I placed another order several months ago and it will not be ready until May '09.
If you have a chance to try out the Centaur, you will not be disappointed.

I have owned all three. They are all diferent and all great bows. I liked them all very much. They are all quiet and smooth, however where the MOAB and SS were above average in speed with little hand shock the double carbon centaur is unbeleaveable!!! Steve
well if anyone wants to send me a sherw and a moab i would test them out for ya and tell ya what i think. mind you you probly would not see them again. :goldtooth: :jumper: :jumper:
Sorry taking so long to post again. The Shrew was simply the easiest to shoot accurately with little previous experience.
-Zero handshock
-Dead quiet
-Comfortable draw
-Hit right where I was looking. It seemed very forgiving for a shorter bow.
-Decent speed, not super fast, but definitely more than adequate.

Thanks for the information.
