Title: String tracker from Chad Orde!!
Post by: stick hunter on February 20, 2016, 07:12:00 PM
Hello guys just wanted to post about my string tracker I received today from Chad. It is very nice and a super design that is truly rock solid!! It also looks very nice and traditional while on the bow. You need to check these out. Chad was a pleasure to deal with . I just need a turkey now .

Anyone have a link to that video Jerry Russel did about preparing new spools and test shooting?

I would like to get one of these!

Everyone talks about how well these work on turkeys, but what are experiences with using them on deer?

They work great on deer I like how quick it gets me on the blood trail.

Here is the YouTube video Jerry made of spool prep.

Chad makes a not just functional, but beautiful string tracker. I bought two last year. They worked like a dream. I got my trad turkey last year. Awesome product !!

I just received mine. Awesome craftsmanship. I only ordered the string tracker and not the string. Chad emailed me prior to shipping just to make sure I didn't didn't forget to order string. Nice to get that kind of service because I've been known to forget things.

Chad graciously donated one to the Michigan Longbow Association's banquet this year and I was fortunate enough to win it.  It'll be on my bow next week down at Wild Things.

I picked one up from Chad in Kalamazoo.  This is a very well made unit.  Chad was really great to talk with.
Can't wait for spring turkeys!

I ordered one last night. Gonna use it on some piggies in 10 days and some thunder chickens this spring.

Well, if you read my post above, I said I wanted one.   I finally remembered to actually ORDER one from Chad.  I received it a day or two ago, prepped it according to his instructions and mounted it on my bow.  I have not yet shot it ( hopefully I will get that chance next week).

I must say, I received the tracker within a couple days, it was everything I hoped it would be including craftsmanship (great job Chad)  and the little things about how it was handled and how it was prepped for shipment tell me as much about Chad's wanting to do a great job at supplying something he loves to build as did the quality of the device.

I am glad I bought this one from Chad and can't wait till I get the chance to put it to use.

Thanks Chad..... wow

Like ChuckC, I read this thread and then ordered a tracker from Chad. I received it promptly and the workmanship is superb. Thanks, Chad, for a fine product and great customer service!

This is one bow accessory that looks every bit as good as it works.

Still owe Chad a turkey pic from last year ... 25 days and counting until the next opportunity.

Got mine a couple of days ago.

I hate to admit it but I'm not sure I have it on correctly. I studied the pictures on Chad's website.

Is there a video of putting one on a recurve.

Thanks

I think he has a video showing that in the Sponsor's Classifieds.  I can't verify exactly what it shows (blocked at work).

Ok I will have to make some better vids its so easy it's hard.
You don't have to use both loops on the tracker if you do you have to take the shock cord stop off or slide it on from the top of the limb not hard when you do it a couple times.

I was remiss in reporting my transaction with Mr. Orde.

I placed my order at about 8pm on Feb. 2nd. I received my string tracker on Feb. 4th. Super fast delivery, excellent customer service, and a beautiful, superbly crafted tool. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Chad, and will be buying all of my future string trackers from him.

Chad, I want to say, Thank You again. And I hope to put it to good use at the end of this month. If I do, I will send you a pic or 2.
