im just curious, does anyone have any info on lost creek bows, just wondering how they shoot, they look like sweet bows
I've owned a couple of them and I guarantee you that you won't hear anything from me but good stuff.
You could do a lot worse for sure.
God bless,Mudd
Made in Iowa, they have to be great!
Should have one here any day.....I was impressed with the one I shot....so I ordered my own. :D
I love my lost creek and Chad is really good to do business with. I am looking at a judge for my next lost creek. Great bows quiet and they just work for me. So yes I am a member of I love my lost creek fan club. :thumbsup:
I own two of them. I believe they are fantastic bows. Easy to point. Quiet. Shoot where you look & fast. Pretty easy on the eyes too.
My first Lost Creek is still in the house and has watched a ton of others come and go.
Fast, point able, good looking (and better with every build) and will eat a variety of arrow spines for some reason.
Chad cares about his customers and has great service......did I leave anything out?

Had one. Sold it. :knothead: Chad is building me a new "Legend" now. :archer:
I have one already and love it. Chad just finished my "Legend" so I will let you know more when I get it.
I have the first production of the Legend, it is smooth, quick and a looker. I received it earlier this week. It is a very quiet bow. So quiet when it arrived Chad had already placed a cat whisker on the string. I say a cat whisker because he takes one and makes two out of it. The grip is one of the best feeling grips I have held.
Terry, your up next, just finished the "Legend" for Wade. It's Charcoal black riser with charcoal and osage overlays. The limbs are Osage with bamboo core, this is a very sweet stick. Hawkeye colored, and from the Hawkeye state. I'm also tring to get caught up and make a couple demo bows, a Right and Left handed bow, they will be in the 60" "Judge" and in the 47 lb range at 28".I'm hoping people who haven't shot one would give them a try. The bad new is I'm 6 to 8 weeks out. I'll let everyone know when I get closer to finishing them. Thanks Chad
As the founding member of the "I love my Lost Creek Bow" club I would just like to say Chad is an artist. His bows are some of the nicest you will ever see. They shoot even better. Who makes the best bow? Who knows & who cares! The best bow is the one that puts confidence in you. I shoot my NAT like no other bow I have owned & I love lots of bows. Chad will not let you down. Are his bows for everyone, maybe not but look at his feedback. Many of us rave about him. He puts life back into the wood. Cant say much more but try it & most likely you'll want to be in the club as well.

Can someone tell me about this black bow????
What's the woods or finish????...Very interesting.
Wow. This is a timely thread. I was just looking at Chad's line of bows this morning and wondering if they perform as good as they look. You guys have definitely answered my questions.
Thanks.
Terry, this is a bow that Chad posted here in a giveaway contest. We had to guess the number of broadheads in a jar. I took a shot at it and won the bow!!
Strange how things work but it is a bow that always makes me look good. It shoots great!!!
It's got a special finish that is black texture. It is very labor intensive and I don't know if Chad will do it again. This is a wood bow like the rest it's just the finish that is different.
Its 64"s 48@28 and shoots like a dream. I always thought it would be a cool way to finish out a special edition NAT for ground blinds ...
Chad's wife sent me some pictures of my new "Legend". Although it wasn't yet finished I can tell that Chad knocked it out of the park again. My only question is where can I get an application for membership in the "I love my Lost Creek Club"?
No application needed, you're already there!
Love my LC too. 60", 48@29. Charcoal dymondwood riser, maple cores and quilted Bubinga veneers. Awesome grip, quiet and spits a 515 gr arrow at an average of 182 fps. Chad does a bang up job!

Thanks for the reply... :thumbsup:
Anyone else love their Lost Creeks?
To shoot one is to love one...
Yep, I do like me a Lost Creek. I've had 5 but my wife took one and my brother talked me out of two. I still have 2 of my own and am not parting with them.

BCWV, what are the woods on that bottom Lost Creek?
Wow, I am already getting ideas for my next Lost Creek and my "Legend" hasn't even arrived yet :p
stik&string,
I know what you mean, Chads bows have the same affect on me.
I'm not good with wood and can't remember where I craped last but I think the veneers are bacote. The riser is the grey dymondwood. I hope I haven't lied to you. Chad may see this and correct me if I am.
I've always just asked Chad to make me something nice and he hasn't let me down yet.
By the way, the last one is the one my wife took. She fell in love with wood combo when I unpacked it. I'm still partial to the top one with the tamo ash, but they're all lookers.
Man, I wish my wife fell in love with my bows when I unpacked them!
Still waiting on a TD from Chad.
BCWV,
Thanks for the reply. I have a tamo ash Lost Creek already and love it. You are right on Chad can definately make them nice. I did that with my first one and it is a work of art. With my Legend I just told him the hawkeye theme and surpassed my wildest dreams.
I love my Lost Creeks. Excellent bows. I really like the looks of the Judge, would be neat to try one some day.
That Osage is dang pretty too!
The bottom picture of BCWV bows is Waterfall Bubinga and charcol Spectra Ply.
This is the pic I have of the quilted bubinga limbs for a closer look. (http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/buckvalley/016-1.jpg)
Thanks Chad, I wasn't even close! All I knew for sure was that it was beautiful.
Thanks Chad for the close up. That pic gets the wheels turining in my head, but the wife would kill me if I didn't at least shoot the Legend for a while before I put my next order in :knothead: :knothead:
Man those are some beauties! Which lost creek is recomended for 31.5" draw?
Chad's longbows are terrific. He is also just a great guy to deal with. You cannot go wrong with a Lost Creek. If you are thinking about ordering one, go ahead. You will not be dissapointed. Excellent grip, no hand shock and his bows are fast.
The "Legend" or the "Judge" will work great for long draws. They both work great as they are 62" and 64" bows. Chad
I have a Legend on order and this thread is not making the wait any easier. Sounds like I won't be disappointed though.
Yeah, i just placed an order for a 62" Legend as well. Stopped by his place, i was really impressed with the bows he's building. 62 inch bow he had in stock drew smooth as silk out to my 31-32 inch draw length.
Hey Chad, I'm diggin the way the website looks too! Looks really good!
Yes, the wife has been working and updating the web site. She should have it done by tommorrow. Thanks Chad
Tell her great job as it is looking good!
One of your bow are on my list Chad. Lefty to.

Now I am really liking the webpage since that new background "model" was put on the legend page :goldtooth: :biglaugh: Actually I am lucky enough to own two of the bows that Chad uses on his webpage to display his different models.
Hey everyone, this is the "WIFE"(Susan). Webpage is finished for now, I only have 1 other page I want to create, and that's a page with pics of wood samples, so it's easier to choose your combinations. Hope this makes it easier for everyone, myself included! :banghead:
The web page looks good Chad. It just keeps tempting me more and more to get a judge. Hmmm tax returns in a month or so. Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
Tax return spenders better get those woods picked out Now!!!! Just buck up & order one. You know you will love it.
