Title: A Lost Creek finds a home (with pics)
Post by: Focusource on September 07, 2009, 08:34:00 PM

This  (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=077594#000000)  is a    Lost Creek (http://www.lostcreekbows.com)  bow by Trad Gang sponsor Chad Francis.  This is by far the fastest, and at the same time the quietest bow I have ever shot.  Chad chronographed it at 192 fps using a 490 grain arrow. This bow is 58" and 55# @ 28".  The limbs are three lams of walnut, the riser is dymondwood and the overlays are osage.  I have shot 300 arrows with this bow in the last 5 days and I am still awestruck.  I have found my bowyer.  I am a Lost Creek man from now on.

I agree with you Jeff. Chad builds a very nice shooting bow.....plenty quick, quiet as any, and very well mannered.

I'm waiting on my 2nd bow from Chad, and it should be here tomorrow. The new bow is a few pounds heavier than the 1st one. I'm really looking forward to getting it.

Chad goes out of his way to please you....anyone considering a new longbow should talk to Chad before buying anything.....I think you'll be impressed with the bow as well as the man building them.

Thanks for all the compliments on the bows, I'm glad you guy's are all enjoying your bows. If I build them any cheaper they will be free. Enjoy the Bows guys and gals and remember to take pictures of your kills. I expect to see lots of kills this fall. Then send them to me so I can post them, so shoot straight and be safe. Chad

Nice looking bow!!
 Chad has come a long way in the short time since I did the first review. I was greatly impressed when I saw the second review bow, and he just keeps getting better.

Pete, I've been to your site many times.  Your Trad Reviews sections are very helpful when researching a purchase.

Davo, I appreciate the offer but will have to turn you down.  I gave my compound to my father.     :D
