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.

Nice lookin bow you got there!
Chad makes a fine bow.
They are shooters for sure!! :thumbsup:
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.
well i gotta pipe in here too, I like my lost creek ALOT, my wife just ordered one too, so we sure are turning into a Lost Creek family here.
HEY Chad if we buy 4 do we get the fifth one for free, LOL

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 have a beautiful compound I will trade you for it.
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
