Title: An Ambush of Cocobolo and osage....got to see.
Post by: Pierre Lucas on August 22, 2011, 07:04:00 PM
As it says a Two Tracks Ambush in cocobolo and osage...what a combination.  Great piece of coco with I-beam riser construction.  

50" AMO...53#@28" .  Smooth, silent and deadly...zero hand shock and well mannered.  

Shoots extremely well for a short bow.

It's a keeper    :thumbsup:    ....now someone will have an opportunity for my other Ambush    :archer2:    ...soon to go in the classified.

God Bless,   Pierre

Wow! That bow is beautiful. It's only going to get better as the osage darkens. Congratulations!

One of the best color combinations I've seen yet.  Osage is one of my favorites.  Good luck with it.

Oh, and that is one crazy piece of cocobolo.  Absolutely stunning.  Just sick    :thumbsup:

Nice! Coco and Osage are one of my favorite combos, especially after the Osage ages a bit.

Love the combination.  I have Cocobolo/Osage in my Widow.  I shot Lou's bow and I draw 29.5".  They are smooth.

Post by: sawtoothscream on August 22, 2011, 08:24:00 PM
sharp looking bow. i had one for a few days and it was a good shooter. even though the grip didnt fit my hand at all.  might have to order one in the future that fits me. would make a great bow fishing set up for my kayak

If that's the one was at the GLLI a couple weeks ago, you got a great bow.  Chuck spares nothing in doing it right.
Title: Re: An Ambush of Cocobolo and osage....got to see.
Post by: 2treks on August 22, 2011, 09:48:00 PM
I am glad you are happy Pierre. I enjoyed making it for you and I wish you well this fall with it.
Mike, The other bow went to another Trad ganger, His son got one from me at comptons last year, same wood combo but know I-beam. He picked his up at GLLI. I expect he will be around here before long.
Thanks Again Pierre and everybody else too.

That design is really amazing to shoot...

It gives up nothing for the longer limbed bows.

Yup, Chuck makes a great bow and mine is a twin to this one.  Been up to the cabin this past week, roamin' the woods and pluggin' stumps.  I'll try to get some pics up but I'm havin computer issues.

Okay not to hijack Pierre's thread but here's my riser.  I told Chuck this bow would be heading to Ray's Hog Heaven with me next Spring.  Looks to me like it's got Hog Tracks runnin up the Riser. Built in Mojo!

That's a gorgeous bow!  Cocobolo and Osage is a great combination.  Wait til that Osage seasons a little bit.  Love those I-beam bows.

I built a cocosage last year and Sean got the bow at Comptons. This was the result after he owned the bow for about an hour.
(http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/twotracks/clays.jpg)
This is what Sean's bow looks like after about a year.
