About

About Centaur Bows

József Molnár makes both Centaur bows and wooden arrows. After returning to traditional archery in 2002, he began competing seriously in 2005 and later used his own equipment at national and European level, including his 2014 World Archery 3D European Championship title. Competition experience feeds directly into the workshop’s bow development. Centaur bows are individually made rather than mass-produced, with a range covering Hungarian and other pusztai bow forms, longbows and reflex bows alongside matched wooden arrows.
