It's a pleasure, I'm sure I'll be chatting with him again and I will, been jumping around checking things out and learning the forum. Also trying to get into the garage and shoot the new bow as much as I can.

Jim N, I really did consider hard on one of those fabulous Centaurs of yours this time, but I just had to try a whip. It was a struggle deciding. Love the looks of your bows! Some day maybe...

Shadowhntr yes I am. I received my Chimera (60" 47@28) right after x-mass. Now remember I'm a true beginner to trad, however I have shot a few, own 2 others and this thing is awesome! Did my 1st indoor 3d Sat and well maybe my score from a numbers stand point wasn't so great (170) but I had a ball. Quite a few guys came up and asked what I was shooting, each one came up because they couldn't believe how quiet it was, and how quick it seemed it was spitting down range. I guess you can say I'm happy, because I ordered another one. Next one will be the Triple elite.

Shadow doesn't have his in hand yet, just ordered, it has to come to Ky first for quality control check. I'm thinking your new Centaur needs to do the same thing! Do you need my address? :lol: :lol: Seriously though, both fine looking bows with top of the line reputations. I have never shot either but those Centaur risers are over the top in appearance, also just look like they would fit my hand! You guys got to move closer so I can shoot them both! :mrgreen:

Thanks CD! Lol!

Man I wrestled with myself hard about the Centaur. I STILL want one. In the end that 1-1.5 year waiting list made me lean to the Toelke.
