Hi Gang, this is Chad of Lost Creek Bows, and I have been working very hard on the New Recurve that I'm releasing tonight. This bow will be offered in 56" and 58" in length. It has the same great grip as my longbow and the riser is a forward handle for a more forgiving shot just like my "Lost Creek" longbow. I have built 4 different forms over the past 2 yrs and I have finally gotten what I feel is a recurve bow that I can proudly produce and offer to the public. I strive to build a fast, quiet and shock free shooting bow that is affordable and easy to look upon, and I feel that this recurve that I am unvealing tonight has it all. This recurve has the lines that I look for when I look at other recurves, it's very quiet ,and smooth, to myself personnally, there is non-existant shock. I shot this specific recurve(the 1st off the form) over my chrono and it was registering in the 190's fps and up, depending on the arrow. It seems to be rating up there with the fastest out there, now just to let you know, I myself am currently wondering if this is fact, so tomorrow I will be running a variety of field tests to determine if this is fact or fiction. Thanks Chad

Outstanding looking bow! After shooting Don Wilson's Lost Creek longbows, I'm a big fan.
Looks to be a lefty as well, let me know if you might need a "field tester" for that bow bud ;) :clapper:
-
sweet looking

Nice bow Chad. I know it will shoot as well as your longbows.
You will do well with it in your lineup.

Thanks Guy's, Billy you said it would look nice with hooks on the end of that longbow and thats just what I did. Chad

Sweet looking bow! The profile kind of reminds me of my old Black Bear with a bit shorter riser. I love the riser. Is that rosewood dymondwood? Do you have any shots of the limbs?
You should sell a bunch, Chad, especially if you remember the shelf goes on the other side ;)
-
Another outstanding product from Chad at Lost Creek!!

This Model will be called the Lost Creek "MUCHAKINOCK", which is pronounced - "munchakhana". This means "mighty little devil" in the local indian dialect. The "Muchakinock" creek is a tributary off of the "Lost Creek" stream here in Iowa.

Looks good. I have been thinking about trying a recurve. Is it the same cost as your longbows? Someone told me to try your longbow. It is in my plans. This might change those plans
-
The recurve price will start at $550.00 for black glass and up.
-
Very nice i like the design
-
The riser is dymondwood Rosewood.
-
Wow, Very nice ! Never tried one of your bows Chad, but it is certainly on my short list. Ive heard so many good things about your bows and customer service.
-
Limb reminds me of Bear too. Hope to see some numbers with bow draw weight and arrow weight. Every bow I own will shoot 190fps with the right arrow - does not say much without the rest of the specs. Nice looking bow and fine craftsmanship.
-
dang,its about time.just kidding chad.i know how hard you've worked to get a recurve you're satisified with. :thumbsup:
-
Very nice looking bow. :thumbsup:

Nice looking bow Chad!! Heck I'm still trying to save money for a longbow but seeing as I already have several recurves I'd better keep my eye on longbows! Keep up the good work!
-
There has always been a demand for 50's style recurves, and Chad is now offering one that will fit into lots of folk's budget.
I'll bet my last dollar that it is a shooter too.
-
looks good Chad.Thats a nice size for Blinds, and those small grips are very nice.

I've been out shooting my new recurve, "The Muchakinock", and the more I shoot it, the more I like it. So far my field tests are going very well. This bow is very quiet and very fast, and very easy to shoot, with non-existant shock. It is 56" 54@ 28" with a bamboo core, flat grain Red Elm limbs, and clear glass. I'm currently shooting Carbon Express Heritage 250's. They weigh in at 515 grains, that's 9.5 grains per lb. I've shot a 5 shot average of 195 fps with a finger release. :notworthy: :campfire: Chad
-
Yes sir.....you need a left handed field test for sure! DO I need to send you my address? LOL!! Real nice looking bow! If it shoots as nice as it looks you will do well with it. Mike

Chad
Will be very interested in your new recurve. I think the small grip is the the key to why your bows feel so good in the hand. Been thinkin of a 56" 44lb. Walnut and black glass would look great. I'll be watchin your web site. Keep us posted!
-
Oh no, another bow I have to have.

I really like the looks of that one Chad, just another lefty in the wings waiting...Nice work...
