Asked Jim add a little something to the riser overlay to add a little more weight to the riser. A 3/16" thick piece of black fiberglass..I think it came out great!

I like Larry's grip so much on his Centaur I asked Jim to use it as a template and added a few changes to it like the fiberglass and a medium grip but with a little more meat in the palm swell. Jim nailed it as usual.

The one pic (3rd one down last post) of the riser that a little light is not a good representation of the colors and i've tried to fix it but it's not showing up correct. Maybe by morning it will catch up.

Wanted something that represented South Mississippi and it had to be tenacious...like a Cotton mouth Moccasin :eek:

Post by: South MS Bowhunter on July 15, 2011, 01:05:00 AM

Spec's please you say? 60" Triple Carbon 53#@30" marked 48# @ 28". Skinned with Cotton Mouth Moccasin from our own Charles Sinclair "Snakewood". Charles I think the skins turned out great you really can't see the true colors in the photos but a little green, black, and white show through. Has the "Larry Grip" but in Medium with more palm swell.

(http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy235/jalmay5th/New%20Triple%20Carbon%20Centaur/IMG_0302.jpg)

I draw to 29.75" so about 53#.

A little comparison with my Chimera with Prairie rattler skins.

I have tape wrapped around the tip of the Chimera for protection, so it looks ragged, but not so under it.

Great lookin bow. I just recieved a Centaur in the mail myself today. Bought on used out of the classifieds. I'm in love already. Hope yours shoots as good as it looks! Congrats on your new stick!

Post by: South MS Bowhunter on July 15, 2011, 01:42:00 AM

Last one, 20 yards with a lot of target panic going on, but I can tell it's a lot's quicker than the Chimera. I'll have to do some tuning getting the noc height set for 3 under and she'll be dialed in. Seems to be quieter by a tad. The grip really aligns my hand for a consistent shot and fills it up good, not to much but just right. If you noticed the riser only has grooves for the first 3 fingers Larry Marshall had Jim design this for his bow and it really looked good but it is also very functional, thanks Larry for the "Larry grip".

One more thing needs to be said about Jim's work, you'll not find anybody who will do as much to satisfy your desires! Maybe as much but not any better :thumbsup: Take a look at the art work :eek: I told Jim i wanted something to represent my area of hunting and the type of game I encounter. After some discussion (about 2 hour at least over a couple of days) I had mention that we mostly have scrub bucks with deformities and maybe a shed antler with something liked that would be cool, could he handle it? let see...

John,
I couldn't have picked a nicer combo myself and the best thing is you had it built perfectly to my Specs! You're a true CENTAUR fan and I know that bow isn't going anywhere. I glad I could help. I do have a spot or two comming up in the future and I might have to opt for some skins. Now this is what you call a TOTALLY LOADED CENTAUR.
Thanks,
Jake

Post by: South MS Bowhunter on July 15, 2011, 11:58:00 PM

Kirk, it actualy more of a medium with a little extra in the palm swell. Normally you pay the baby sitter to watch the kids but in this case the baby sitter may have to pay :saywhat:
