Waiting on my ASL, and a new trad journey
« on: June 21, 2017, 10:01:00 PM »
I'm not old enough to remember Howard Hill, (or even Fred Bear for that matter), but I've wanted an ASL for awhile now though I can't really say why.  I briefly (days) had a Shelton but my pointer chewed the limb.  Well I finally got around to ordering a Two Tracks Echo, a bow I've had my eye on for awhile.  Chuck was awesome to deal with and convinced me that at my 26" draw he could build me a 64" bow, so long as I don't let anyone else shoot it.  It'll be Osage, walnut limbs and light brown glass with a grip made to the measurement of my hand.  It'll be 58# @ 26" and hopefully I'll get to figure out some woodies for it.  This should mark the beginning of a new trad journey that I'm impatiently waiting to start, so long as I can keep my dog away from it    :thumbsup:

I picked up an Echo at Compton from Chuck. Mine is 70" 47# @ 29" Osage riser, walnut cores and Dark brown glass. I shot it some today......I think you will be pleased.   :thumbsup:

Heard amazing things about them. I got on the list back in December and as far as I know its currently being glued up this month. Super excited.

Chuck is extremely detail oriented and the Echo is a great choice of hill bow.

What a coincidence!  I just took delivery of my new Echo. 70"
#62 @ 30". Osage riser with Walnut limbs. It's beautiful. It throws a long heavy arrow with authority. I'm going to write a review when I get some time. I love it

Isn't that funny, seems to be a popular combo.  It isn't something Chuck recommended either, i actually asked for that.

I wanted woods indiginus to Miichigan. It's a nice looking combination. Very well behaved after the shot as well.
