Was Joe's "Trad Longbow Joe"... which was Justin's "newell38" before that... pretty sure most of you have seen what it looked like before I had Jim put it on a diet (took off a few pounds)and add some stippling... here's what it looks like after...

 

 

 



 

 

 


The rest of the bow looks like every other Centaur Jim puts out... just plain awesome.

They're very nice bows, a friend has one and that thing is very quick. What are the specs?

Jim builds a fine bow.

I have built some strings for him, and found out right quick, that his bows have more preload (in line string stress at brace), than any longbow I have ever worked with. Very similar to that of a high performance recurve.

Preload mean power, and his gots plenty of that.

Spot on Rick. Jim's design sure does help us draw length challenged folk.
