I must admit I was a little skeptical about this short but sweet looking little bow. I have a couple of Two Tracks long walkers & love them. Everytime I visited Chuck I would look at & admire this little bow, I'm a hunter first and an archer second and this little bow just looked sweet for maneuvering thru the woods.
But, I have read numerous times a longbow is more forgiving to mistakes, I'm not an excellent shot by any means, my goal in traditional archery is to keep them within a paper plate & that's good to go hunting with, I consider myself a 15 -18 yard hunter.
Today I left the longbow in the house & went stumpshooting with a good friend. I told him I need to find out if I can shoot this little bow :rolleyes: yes I was skeptical & nervous I bought something I might not be able to hunt with.
I can tell you I was blown away with how good this bow shot for me ! I was hitting plastic 20 ounce pop bottles at 20 & 25 yards ! That is amazing for me !
I honestly don't know if the bow is that amazing (I think Chuck sprinkled some magic dust on it ! ) or the stories of a longbow's being more forgiving are lies.
I went into shooting this bow as a skeptic, I am now an Ambush fan. I warned Chuck by email today another Ambush is in my future !
Have others found that they can shoot a short recurve better than a longbow ?

Glad it is the bow yo hoped for. I hope to add one to the stable some day.
I have LOTS of longbows and only 1 recurve. The recurve is an Ambush by Two Tracks, and it gets regular rotation. I love the way it draws and especially how it casts a heavy wood shaft. Chuck is a mighty fine Craftsman. I believe if more people shot the Ambush, he would sell a whole bunch more.
I'm glad your happy with yours.
A great little bow, that really spits an arrow. :thumbsup:
I recently sold an ambush, not because I didn't like it or because I couldn't shoot it. Actucally I shot it pretty good for my ability and it looked cool, but as far as shooting a short recurve better than a longbow, not even close for me. I shoot longbows much better than recurves or any length, but everyone is different.
Chuck builds some great bows I am not surprized you love his Ambush bows
I sold one of the prettiest bows I've ever owned - an Ambush with water moccasin skins. I shot it well (for me), but with my long draw, I was at the bow's max draw and also at my max weight . Figured it could only go downhill as I got older. Sure was a sweet bow, though. Still get the urge to order one around 42@28. At 29.5", that would more than adequate for deer.
Oh boy, now I can't wait for mine to get finished! I ordered an ambush made with Osage core and Honduran rosewood riser that im expecting around the 1st of july. It's gonna be 60# @ 28 and I can't wait to slay some piggies with it this summer then some whitetail this fall! Everything I hear about chucks bows is positive and makes me more anxious every day.
I traded for one for a short time. Loved everything but the grip that was on it (didnt work with my meaty hands. deffinatly a good hard hitting bow
Sounds like a good match for you. Im amazed how good these short recurves some are making shoot so good. I might have to try a Ambush sometime. Enjoy yours!
i just traded for an ambush,very accurate little bow,i shoot it as well or better than my long bows,whips-big jims-griffon-berrys,i sure like this little bow!
Congrats, How about some pics.
Can't wait to get mine. Hope at my 29+ draw it will work for me.
Congrats on your new bow.
Pics please :)
I shot Mike Vines Ambush during the St Judes Hog Hunt this year. I fell in love and as a matter of fact I finally bit the bullet the other day and ordered one. I have to say Chuck is a very nice man and was very helpful with my choices. I can hardly wait to get mine! Congrats on your new bow and know you will enjoy it!
I knew it was just a matter of time Todd. You shot that bow awesome.

Lol yep I believe I was making plans after the first shot :laughing:
I can hardly wait for mine! Bud B. and I are already trying to figure out when we can get back down there. I have some unfinished business with a armidillo. Hopefully I'll have it by then!
