Welp,

I currently have a 60" centaur elite that is #52@29(i draw to 29.5).  It has to be one of the smoothest, sweetest shooting bows I have ever shot.  I have always shot around #50-#55; just never felt a need to go up in weight at all.  I like the fact that I can take it out all day and shoot enjoy myself.  

I sweet talked my wife into letting me get on the list for a custom.  I knew exactly what I wanted.  A centaur Elite 62" and around #58@29.  As luck would have it, I saw a guy selling a 62" #56@28 centaur elite, so i bought it.  It should be around #60 at my draw length and i'm betting it will be smooth as butter.  I have some special arrows I got from Steve Angel at simply traditional that I needed a heavier bow to set them up for.  They are Black Eagle Rampage(micro diameter .300's) that I will set this bow up with.  I am pumped about it!  

I will post pics as soon as I can get them uploaded.

fair warning, don't be leaning over your key board while looking at the pictures... drool is not good for them  :)

Daniel, If it's too heavy for you I'll take it off your hands...   :biglaugh:    Is it as quiet as your Centaur I shot?

Daniel, beautiful bow!  how about a full draw pic?
An elitist mentality creates discord, even among the elite!

Joe,
it should be headed my way today.  I will let you know.  I am betting with a good string and some decent weighted arrows it will be just as quiet.  IMO, a centaur is really sensitive on brace height.  If it is 1/8", it will be considerably louder. I like mine right about 6 7/8".  

I may have one for sell if this one works out like i'm hoping!  :)

BTW, nice pick up! Find another one in 2 pc and 6-10# heavier and I'll trade you a selfbow for it.  

:p

If I find me a 2 piece for sell, i'll have a 1 piece for sell...

I have a Centaur Triple Carbon Elite 60" 53@28 and it is my favorite shooter so far. Enjoy your new bow.
