Title: Lost Creek - cocobolo & bocote = "Eye Candy"
Post by: GMASIUK on April 02, 2011, 11:52:00 AM
I just wanted to share some picture's of my new Lost Creek Life-Ender. Specs are 58", 40 lbs @ 28" (around 45 lbs @ my 30" draw) red elm veneers over bamboo cores, cocobolo & bocote riser.

This is my second L/C bow I like them so much. My first is the one in the second picture that got in these pic's by mistake, oh well.

If you haven't had a chance to shoot one of Chad's bows, and are looking for a short, sweet r/d bow you may what to take a hard look at these bows. Smooth, fast, and dead in the hand what more could anyone want?

Chad has a very fast turn around time and, is awesome to deal with. But when people catch on I'm sure he will be very busy.

Enjoy the slide show! I'm going shooting LOL!

The only thing I can say bad about Chad is every once in a while he builds a bow with the shelf on the wrong side. They should all be lefties so I could shoot all his bows. Very nice work Chad & enjoy shooting that beauty.

Just curious, are these bows quiet?
Title: Re: Lost Creek - cocobolo & bocote = "Eye Candy"
Post by: GMASIUK on April 03, 2011, 08:16:00 AM
Yes Dan, these bows are super quiet. I even shoot three under and they are quiet like my H Hill bow. But way faster and dead in the hand. Chad sends the bows out with a 8 strand 450 string, nock point set, cat whiskers and ready to shoot. They are an awesome little bow.

Screamin. They are quiet, no hand shock, really fast, and they are one of those bows that are easy to shoot accurately. It is hard to explain but the first time I shot one of Chad's bows the first thing I thought was wow that arrow got to the target really quickly and the second thing I thought was how it was easy to be very consistent from one shot to another. No funny stuff just easy to shoot accurately from shot to shot. Grips are a personal preference, but for me it is one of the things that makes Chad's bows so nice. The grip is terrific.

azhunter, the pics of the grip on the website kind of look like whats on a kanati? I think? and I agree, the grip on a bow is everything.

I just gave Chad some idea's of what woods I like and he went with it. I like to let the bowyer have the ability to be creative. I think you get a truely custom bow that way.

Thanks everyone, I strive to build a bow that has a smooth draw, fast, quiet, and very "dead" in the hand. I feel the "Life Ender", "Judge", "Legacy", and the "N.A.T" have all of these features with different models being slightly better for different draw lengths. They all have the same to similar style grip, some are lower and some a little higher wrist, mostly once' again being due to each individuals' custom requests.

She shoots even better than she looks! Very smooth and quick.

Glad you are happy with her. She is a looker. I absolutely love my NAT. Chad had a Life Ender on sale a short time back. It was up for sale for just long enough I convinced myself I needed a backup bow. Well, I have shot it for a while & love it but my NAT is first choice still. I injured my hand & have not been able to shoot for 3.5 weeks & finally got the OK. Went out today & did a 3D shoot. I took the Life Ender because it is 5lbs lighter. Let me just say I am SO GLAD I bought that bow. What a joy to shoot! I would have no issues hunting with it if need be. Thanks Chad & to all that let me sing his praises. Great bows

Nice looking bow. I just put a SBD skinny string on my Lost Creek Life Ender.I could not believe how fast and quiet that bow is with that string on it. Good luck with your new bow!
