Could I get some feedback on these two bows?  Thanks.

Several years ago, I was intrigued by the short hybrids.  I shot a bunch of them at many of the summer shoots and settled on a Selway Lil Mag, the same as the Centaur but before Jim was making them under the Centaur name.  I was never unhappy with my choice and still have the bow.

I have owned both bows. My Centuar was new to me and was too light. However, it shot arrows really, really fast and accurately.

Below is the first 3 arrows I shot with my brand new Thundehorn Heartstopper 62" 60# at 28". It is the fastest and flatest casting bow I have shot to date. I am overwhelmed. I was at 17 yards. No warm up shots. This was the first 3 arrows.

I come up for my 62" 60# at 28" Centaur in May. That will be a shoot out for sure!

I have owned at least a couple of each of these bows, in fact, I live within about 20 miles of both bowyers.
They are both great guys and build wonderful bows.
The fit and finish is superb on both bows and they both shoot very well.

I am not being much help, but I would be perfectly happen with either of these choices.
 
If I were you, I would try to shoot each type and see what works best for you.
