Title: New for 2011 Lost Creek " LEGACY "
Post by: Lost Creek Bows on March 10, 2011, 11:56:00 PM
I have been working on R/D again, and I've brought the "LOST CREEK" "LEGACY" to the Gang to see first, before I officially release it to the public. I will only be charging $450.00 shipped, as I am only offering this design in the choices listed below. This particular bow design will be available from 60" to 64", it has more of a classic "D" shape when strung, with 2" less Deflex in the riser than my current models, but just enough reflex to take the shock out, and still be very quiet as most "D" shaped bows are. This bow will also only be available in 3 Actionwood risers-Charcoal, Walnut Brown, and Camo with your choice of Black or Brown Glass, and choice of Hard Rock Maple or Red Elm core, with an optional upgrade of Bamboo, which will be an additional $50.00. This bow will be available with a Satin Finish. I will be adding a video displaying the "LEGACY" being shot over a chrono, in the following days ahead. Thanks Chad

Chad,

That is a beautiful addition to your already impressive product line.

Any chance there is a takedown model coming in the future?

I will be working on it over the summer. I'm probably going to use the bow bolt, still not sure on which take-down system yet. The "Legend" and the "Legacy" will be the two bow designs that I plan on offering in the take-down option.  Chad

Chad, that one with the brown glass limbs is SWEET.
Nice work as always. Looking forward to your takedown, whichever system you choose, I'm sure it'll be the best choice for your bows.

My LC is the best ever. The only improvement I could think of is if I could break it in half.

Seriously, if you've never shot a Lost Creek, you owe it to yourself. His design is so good, that's why he mentions putting a vid of the chrono test.
And the Legacy, as a D shaped bow will probably be his "slowest". Mine is FAST. (a Life Emder)

Post by: GMASIUK on March 11, 2011, 09:09:00 PM
X2 what COLongbow said! My life ender is one of if not the fastest traditional bow I have ever shot.

The life ender bow is one of those bows thats very easy to pickup and just shoot well.

Oh did I mention the grip.... very, very, comfortable.

The new legacy bow looks to be awesome, without a doubt.

Glen, I so agree with you about Chad's grips.

Sometimes I think folks get tired of hearing my views on Chad's bows, but that GRIP just fits, I sold my more traditional long bows because the grip did not agree with my 20 year old broken, and not right healed, wrist. Well, Chad's grip is not that much higher wrist, but it just feels right. No pain, shot after shot. And no, I didn't submit a hand tracing, just talked to him on the phone. My LC's grip is perfect. Pointable, comfortable, and repeatable. No CNC machine, just a guy at the sander, making me what I wanted.

Priceless...

I know what you mean about people getting sick of my praise for Chad & his bows. The fact is that each time another tganger buys one they are amazed. My NAT is the best bow I have ever shot. The second is my Life Ender. I am going to have Chad make me a recurve soon & then I may be done. Thank you Chad for the bows you make. Maybe not for every shooter, but look at how many of us LOVE them.

I never have built a 100# bow, but I sure would give it a shot. Chad

That's a nice looking profile Chad! At that price you should sell a lot of them.

Thanks Jason, I guess I had a good teacher. You build a outstanding bow as well, keep up the good work. Chad

Do you think that you would be able to retrofit the bow bolt to an existing bow?  Might be the only thing I would change about my bow.

Post by: Lost Creek Bows on March 14, 2011, 11:50:00 PM
No, I would need to do it before I shape the grip and riser. I'm not even started on the bow bolt yet, and I'm not even sure yet how it will go. Sorry Chad
