Title: Lost Creek Longbow
Post by: R. Graddy on April 28, 2010, 08:09:00 AM
My new Lost Creek longbow came in the other day. Wow!!! 60" 52 @30". One of the prettiest bows I have ever seen...IMO! It also smokes an arrow...I was trying for a 450 gr. arrow but ended up 430 gr. Gold Tip 5575 Expedition full length with 125 gr. tip. At my 30.5" draw (about 53 lbs) it shot 202 fps. I have tried a 190 gr. tip making the total weight 495gr. , a weight tube w/125gr tip making the total weight 584gr., and a Gold Tip 7595 w/125gr. tip (don't have the weight). They all shoot fine out the bow. I haven't been by the bow shop to chrono the heavier arrows yet but of course they will be a little slower. The bow is quiet and has no hand shock. The grip is awesome, very natural feeling for me. Chad is great guy and bowyer. He really listens to what you want in a bow and boy does he deliver. I recieved my bow in less than 3 weeks. Chad and his wife Susan are great folks to deal with. If you want a sweet bow at a great price give him a call. Chad Francis 641-660-1070.

Bows are looking good Chad! I let mine go to fund some other things, but seeing that my buddy bought one for him and one for his wife I still get to shoot one pretty often.

How much is the bow with the alternating light and dark wood? Is that zebra and ebony?
