I was taking a break from fletching up a test pack of arrows for a friend, and decided to see what was happening in the world of Tradgang, and the next thing you know I'm the proud owner of a simply beautiful Ambush recurve that I found on Chuck's website.
http://twotracksbow.com/ I saw this bow at the Great Lakes Longbow Invitational, and have been kicking myself the last month for passing it up, and when I went window shopping (I find myself doing this more and more) I saw the bow I had been kicking myself over for sale. I wasted no time in calling Chuck and making sure it wasn't sold yet. The rest is history.
Bow specks are 50" tip to tip, 49@28", and from what I have been hearing, from some of the other guys who have bought an Ambush recurve, this bow flat out smokes an arrow. I will find out tomorrow when I drive up there to pick it up, and run it thru the chrono and post back my findings. I know trad shooting has nothing to do with speed, but if I can smoke an arrow out of a 50" bow, I believe the world needs to know this. If anything, it gives us all something to talk about.
I told my wife this bow is a money maker. She asked me "How is this bow going to make money?" And I told her I can finally sell some because I won't need to buy another one again. She just smiled because she knows I'm neither going to sell any of mine, and also that I'm not done buying bows either, but it was still fun trying to get her to believe me.
