Oooops. I opened it Chad. Great looking bows as always. Can't say enough good things about my NAT. Was wondering if you are still making one piece recurves? Was thinking I may need a backup & was thinking of trying your recurves out.

Yes, I just haven't got the new web page up yet for it. I really like the recure in the 56" Model. Very fast, stable limbs, as close to the quietness of a longbow that I've been able to achieve, so far.

Well I will chime in here. I just took possesion today of my new to me Lost Creek (Life Ender)56" 60# @28 that I purchased from a fellow TGer. I gotta say this is a sweeeeet shooting bow!!!! I have been on the hunt for a longbow for awhile and I think I have found thee ONE.It will send one of my GT 55/75s to the target with some authority, I am shooting them with weight tubes, 100grn insert and Razorheads.They fly like bullets....

I think I'm in trouble. My wife has figured out what those long packages are. Will be talking to you soon Chad. Might have to figure out a different shipping destination.

I never tire of gawking at beautiful bows, and those are beautiful bows!

Motorhead I am glad you are enjoying the bow you bought from me. I have a Legend (I will post pics when I return from Dallas next week) that I can't put down. Chad keep up the great work.

Horn: I have a P.O. Box for just that reason 50 bucks a year is well worth harmony in the home.

Looks like I better be praying for no snow in your area so that beautiful bow can be sent to my front door. I knew when I left it up to you to chose the woods that you would come through with something super nice and you nailed it. That bow looks awesome. I can't wait to shoot it. Thanks Chad, you really build a nice shooting bow.

(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/buckvalley/011-6.jpg)        Mark this is a picture of your bow, I just love the cocobolo heel. I get first dibs at it back if you ever decide to let it go. I almost, couldn't send it out as I feel in love with this bow. Chad

Chad, you kill me.
When I was waiting on my bow, you went and sent some pics like this and made my wait even harder. Oh and by the way, don't expect to be on a very long wait list with Chad. I think he has a bow building clone. The guy must love this stuff.

That is one pretty bow. And yes, they really do shoot that good. People still come up to me at the range and comment on how quiet my LC is. And the arrow arrives at the 20 yd target just behind those wheel guys' arrows.

You keep getting better and better at this, Chad!

So what's another bow on the wish list?   :thumbsup:

:p   Boy, all these Lost Creeks lately. Chad hasn't built an ugly bow, and all my arrows are missing their nocks. That Charcoal and Osage "Legend" on Chad's site is almost as awesome as my NAT.

Great bows Chad!    :thumbsup:

That Charcoal and Osage "Legend" is mine and let me tell you it has quickly become my go to. I am loving it.

Didn't bother me at all, I'm right handed!!

Whew! You had me worried there for a minute, but I see that they are left-handed and I'm right-handed so no problem.

BTW: They are beautiful...and please don't say you make them for righties too...LOL!

The advantage of being retired is I have no money, so I am much less easily tempted. Now if you were giving one away...

Seriously, you make some beauties, Chad. You and Jason do a heck of a job representing Iowa.    :thumbsup:

But PA-Spot, how would I get to play with my new bow? I would hate to burden you with keeping the string all waxed & arrows tuned. Maybe I should come up with a better idea. Thanks for the generous offer though.
