I had the opportunity to shoot the LH Lost Creek takedown pass around bow. It was a good shooting bow but just a little short for me.
I spoke with Chad about one for me.
It arrived yesterday.
46 @ 28 and 64" tip to tip.
I got to shoot it some last night. Not alot of prep for the trad 3d shoot today, but, I managed to get a 273 on 30 targets.
Chad makes a nice bow. Especially if you're a lefty as he is.

Thanks Chad
Very nice looking bow Bud. Looks like it shoots well for you also.
Good shooting with a nice looking rig Bud.

This was a very hard bow to send off. The riser is Zebra w/ a Wenge accent, Zebra overlays, Bocote limbs, Red Elm core, and Wenge wedge's. It has a 15" handle, and use's a 61" string for a true 64" bow. Bud B left it up to me on the wood choice's, and this is the combination I came up with. I was very happy with the outcome of this wood combo, enjoy it. Chad
Sweet bow.
That's a beautiful looking longbow! Congrats and good shooting. :thumbsup: :clapper:
My best 3d scores to date have been with Chad's bows.
Look out critters.... :archer2:
Super bow and nice shooting!!
Also Chad, I couldn't get it on a chrono, but I'm taking it to another shoot tomorrow. I'm guessing in the mid 190s.
Full length 3555 GT trads with 125 tip.
Missiles. And quiet missles with that FF string.
beautiful bow Bud!!! Love that Zebrawood!!!! Chad builds a great bow!
Nice bow!!
i cant wait to get mine here chad called me yesterday and told me it was done so i'm super excited and i realy like the zebra and wnge they go great together great looking bow
Sweet looker for sure!! Congrats!
Sweet looking bow Bud! The wood choice by Chad was perfect, Well Done!
Very nice looking bow - great wood choices!
Awesome bow Bud! Bring that puppy up west for the Tarheel hunt!
Very nice looking bow! A 273 is a very good 3d score you tore up the course good job. I am very interested in one of Chads take downs I'm just try to decide on the woods.
Goofed on the score...271. 141 course A and 130 course B.
But still, I can tell you that having gone to a 3D shoot almost every weekend since getting back into trad last summer, all to better my hunting skills and accuracy, I have not shot my personal bows as well as Chad's loaner LH TD and now my own Lost Creek TD. I don't think it's in my mind, I truly think it's how his handle design fits my hand. The shelf sits just above the hand to allow the arrow to glide just above the web of the hand and gets the bow hand closer to the eye while shooting.
I hope folks give Chad his due. When we've talk on the phone it's like talking to a longtime friend. He's good people. And a good bowyer.
Thanks all the kind words folks.
Bud
That is some really nice wood and wood work. If those first 15 arrows are any indication, anyone you're shootin against when you get used to it is gonna have their work cut out for them.
271 is still an awesome score. Good job.
Chad, do you have any ziricote in stock, enough for a t/d riser?
That is a great looking bow!!!!!!
Mighty shiny lookin bow Bud.
Gorgeous bow!!
Wow, that is striking. Really nice work.
That's a beaut :thumbsup:
Glen, I don't have any instock as of now ,but it only takes a week or two to get what you need. Chad
Now that is a beautiful bow. The only thing I can see wrong with it is the shelf is on the wrong side. Good luck and good shooting with it.
Very nice, Chad makes a great bow. My accuracy has improved since owning one.
very nice
Beautiful bow.The wood choice is perfect.I got a email from Chad that he`s starting on my bow next week.Can`t wait!
Great looking bow, as stated before your choice of wood looks great together. :thumbsup:
:thumbsup: Nice bow and good shooting!
Sharp looking bow :notworthy:
Bill
Very nice bow.
It chronoed a 469gr arrow today at 186fps. It's rather flat shooting out to 18-20 yards.
Another good 3D day too. :) In spite of the unreal humidity.
Thanks again guys and gals for the compliments.
Bud , thats great speed out of a 64" 46 @ 28" Longbow pulled to about 29" right. I'm glad your getting good use of it. :archer2:
If I had a smooth release I could get above 190 easy. Your bow is forgiving of my inconsistencies.
