guys: chronies are few and far between in my part of australia - but i can say she is very quick.

elk ninja - i think i waited almost a year for this bow - VERY good things come to those who wait.   :campfire:  

joe - 1 & 5/16"

My Centaur is no way as purdy as that one. Has that nasty carbon on back and belly. For those that are interested in speed it shoots a 530gr. cedar between 182 and 184fps. 56" bow, 56# @ 27". This bow has been timed several times and those are the numbers that she spits out every time.

Just double checked the weight on that arrow, 580grs. not 530.

Yaa they smoke.I have had all 3 of the models.I think the all glass bow is my favorite overall.That sure is a pretty bow and Jim is  about as good as it gits in customer service in my experience.It was most pleasurable working with him

Colors remind me of a nice sliver of Mook...

Killy: what is mook?
Title: Re: new centaur :-)
Post by: Killdeer on August 20, 2007, 06:19:00 AM
Mookaite is a native Australian stone, which is knappable. Folks like to buy knapped blades of it because the colors are flamboyant reds, yellows, pinks, etc.

Here is a link to the results of a simple Google search:
