Today’s guest is Jim Neaves — a master bowyer with more than three decades of experience under his belt, despite being just shy of 50. Jim began his journey crafting selfbows, but eventually found his true calling in building beautifully designed, lightning-fast laminated recurves and longbows. From his shop in Montana, he runs Centaur Archery — a small, self-owned company built on his lifelong passion for archery and a commitment to one-on-one consultation with every customer. His mission is simple: to create the best traditional bow possible, at the best price, for each unique bowhunter.
