Title: New Centaur!
Post by: Robhood23 on May 10, 2011, 02:25:00 PM
Just thought I would share some pics of my new centaur. This bow is a triple carbon with black and white ebony, diamondback skins, 62" and 58@29"  Stippled grip with a grizz track carved in. This bow is an absolute rocket and put the arrows right where you look!
 Enjoy the pics!

Now that is a beautiful bow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by: DannyBows on May 10, 2011, 03:23:00 PM
With groups like that, the bow is gonna cost you a bunch in replacing fletching!

That's the sweetest Centaur I've seen, and they're all sweet. Love the Black/White Ebony, and the checkering/carving is stunning. Congrats on a fine bow!

Thanks guys for the kind words. I severed my achilles tendon and had to have it reatached. My 4 year old daughter got to pick the cast colors! What do you think. It is only on for another 3 weeks and it made her day so I figured I could live a few weeks with a girly cast on!

That is stunning from a hunting bow aspect regarding coloration.  Don't lay it down you might not be able to find it.

Wow, that's a beautiful bow and a shooter too!  I can't even get arrows into my quiver that tightly.  What are the specs on the grip?  Is it high, low, wide or are they one size fits all?  Looks like it would fit me just right   ;)  Congratulations! - John

I am not normally a jeoulous man, but OM Gosh that's about the perfect marriage between art and function that I have seen in a long time.

Post by: Keith Langford on May 10, 2011, 08:57:00 PM
I just don't see how you could get any better than that, the bow and the shooting. Great job on both. I think I'm gonna go to the centaur website right know.
Title: Re: New Centaur!
Post by: Robhood23 on May 10, 2011, 09:05:00 PM
As far as the grip goes it is a really low grip and smaller than the standard low grip. I actually sent in my other centuar to have Jim Copy the grip. He did an amazing job and is one of the best and easist bowyers to communicate with. Thanks again guys for all the kind words! Oh ya Matt Hamilton if you read this this was the bow I ordered when I bought your spot on the list. Thanks again buddy! Also Thanks to Mike Yancy from Pine Hallow for the diamondback skins, they turned out great!

Glad to hear you are liking the shrew! I let my father in law borrow the tip and I don't know if I am going to get it back from him! He loves it. That shrew is a special bow you got and I sure do miss it!

That is not nice. That is awesome. Jim does some very nice work, and if I wasn't a bowyer myself I would put him at the top of my "Gotta give it a try" list. Nice bow and nice shooting.
Title: Re: New Centaur!
Post by: Sixby on May 12, 2011, 02:06:00 AM
Lol At Lee, Centaur is on my list and I am a bowyer. Every one of them I see is great . this one has a fantastic piece of wood going for it and some great workmanship. But then, Don't they all. Grin. Jim is just a great bowyer and one of the few I reccomend. I'd be interested to see that bow tested against a Quarbon. (Grin)

God bless you all, Steve
