Torn between two lovers... Feelin' like a fool

What a nice problem to have...  Two bows, one season.

I bought a Centaur from Mike (Yellow Dog) the other day.  Ostensibly, to replace a backup bow that I'd always had some problems shooting.  Never thought I'd find a bow that I could shoot as accurately and just felt as good as my Schafer...

Now I'm torn between which bow to focus on for hunting 2010.  The Schafer is soooo smooth and stable.  The Centaur is very smooth, quick, and light.  Such a joy to pack around after lugging the larger bow.

I think my greatest fear is that if I shoot the Centaur too much, I may get the itch to trade the Schafer for another Centaur...LOL!

Oh well, I'm not complaining too much.  Here's a few pics.







Sitting here thinking as I write this, I got the Schafer bloody last year.  May be time to give the new girl a chance.  It's a fine little pickle to be in.    :archer2:

A subtle play on words is better than a poke in the eye.

No reason not to use both. Just set them up with matching arrows and use whatever you want.

Awww I feel sorry for you.... no wait, no I don't. :archer:
Have fun and shoot straight.

join the club buddy! i am just glad you are suffering from the same thing i suffer from! my advice is don't sweat it...shoot 'em both and don't second guess yourself one minute. Enjoy!

Ahhh, to have such choices! Both beauties and top performers. I'd shoot both, especially if you are not noticing a drop in performance when switching.

I feel for you. If it would help you could send me the one you are least comfortable with. Just trying to help.

Alternate between tags filled if you have more than one, if not between days? Nice problem to have!

argh - I am old enough to remember the song...

so shoot the one that sounds the best  :)

If stand hunting, it would be the one that shoots best. Now if you plan to hike miles a day then light could be a factor.

Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

What a fine problem...

Since they obviously know about each other and neither one has hit the road I say, humm that other tune and "Love the one you're with"!

Curtis,

Did you know that "torn between two lovers" is a constant on "worst songs of all time" lists? LOL

Now that awful song is stuck in my head! LOL

Thanks a lot.   ;)    :D  

Now I'll have to think of some awful Barry Manilow or Abba song to cleanse my brain of "torn between two lovers". LOL
