Title: NEW LOST CREEK BOW FINDS A HOME "PICTURE HEAVY"
Post by: Red Tailed Hawk on April 05, 2011, 04:47:00 PM
Just received my first Lost Creek bow 62" 47#@30". Maccassar Ebony riser, Red elm veneers on limbs, with bamboo cores. I am totally amazed by the feel and performance of this bow. The grip fits my hand like a glove and is very repeatable without effort. The bow draws dead smooth out to my 31.5" draw length without even thinking about stacking. The speed at which the arrow gets to the target has still got me smiling "This baby rips". Definetly one of those bows that just feels natural, just feels accurate on the draw.
I have to say I think she's quite the looker, The maccassar Ebony is beautiful. Bowyer Chad Francis hit it out of the ballpark on this one, and what a great guy to deal with as well. I could not be happier.   :)

As great as the LC bows look the best thing about them is how they shoot. Not that there aren't others that shoot with them, but they more than do the job.
Enjoy that bow & shoot it well.
Congrats

Wow! Cliff, Chad wasn't kiddin when he said your bow came out nice. Nice is an understatment, that bow is sweet!

I still can't get over how well lost creek bows shoot. Even when I'm having a bad day I'm not off my mark by much. It's very hard to explain but these bows make me a better shooter. They are very forgiving!

Sorry for the rant not trying to hijack your post!

Glen

Gorgeous bow. They do smoke an arrow don't they.

Glen, I am with you. The Lost Creek is just so easy to be consistent with.

Congratulations on the new bow.

Guys I couldnt agree more, These Lost Creek bows shoot right your looking. Chad the full draw pic is a carbon express 250 full length arrow and that 62" bow pulls smooth the whole way back, what more could a guy ask for. Thanks for building a great bow.

Great looking bow! That Macassar Ebony is sweet looking, very nice with the Elm.

Yes Matt their is. The shelf is cut close to the riser as well for feather clearance.

Chad the bow is great, seems to like a 7.5" brace height. Shoots whisper quiet. Im finding it very easy to be accurate with it, been getting some nice groups.

That is one nice lookin' bow.
I'm amazed at how quiet mine is with just a set of cat whiskers. Btw, mime likes a bh of 7 7/8.

Can't beat a LC. Terry, plz let us in on your hunt with yours. Thanks in advance!
