My newest "LOST CREEK" by Chad Francis
« on: June 08, 2009, 10:00:00 PM »
TTT Fellow Archers                              I am writing today to post pictures of my new "Lost Creek Longbow",it's the 3rd I've owned, and as w/ each one before I am extremely pleased.It is 42"@28",56" long,of course my draw is only 26" which makes it 35"@26" my weight.She has a charcoal dymondwood riser,cedar limbs,and dymondwood tips to match.The grain in the cedar is very unique and abstact just as I requested.The grip is perfectly fit to my hand and the specifications that I gave to Chad Francis(the bowyer).This bow is not only beautiful to look at,she's whisper silent,extremely fast,and deedly accurate.She's just like a beautiful woman,all angles and curves.The bowyer worked along w/ me every step of the way on what I wanted for my custom bow,unfortunately gentleman for the bowyer ,I am a woman and as such very finicky   :(  (poor Chad).He's a great guy to work w/and talk to,makes suggestions when your not sure and I couldn't be happier w/ my new "LOST CREEK BOW".The prices are extremely reasonable for the performance and craftmanship.I've shot and looked at alot of the different bows out there today,including "Black Widow" and "Bob Lee",and this bow by "Lost Creek/Chad Francis" a fairly new bowyer,is one of the best in my personal opinion.  :clapper:

"LOSTCREEK" I guess u must be doing something right,because this is one extremely happy woman.I guess I'll be seeing you in "Coon Rapids" next week as I'll be there also,I noticed your post in trad events.I was outside today letting a few arrows fly,at 30 yds away almost every arrow was a bullseye.Thanks again for working w/ me to custom build the bow I was dreaming about,it's gorgeous and true,and fits me perfectly!!!!!!!

Firecracker and Chad,

The limbs and handle just melt together. And yes, there are lots of curves. Very attractive bow.

It's a delicate balance between working and getting to all the shoots here and then planning a road trip...I need to do that within the next year though...I might have to hit one of the big Trad Events to accomplish that!! It could very well be next year as this year is already booked and if I get my bull moose tag here...well, you know the rest of the story!!   :wavey:
