new Lost Creek longbow arrives
« on: March 03, 2009, 07:29:00 PM »
Last month I picked up the telephone and called Chad Francis of Lost Creek bows.  I explained to him that I have been wanting a new 58" longbow with a two-tone handle (mostly Osage,) and I gave him the other spec's I was hoping for.
Boy did he deliver!  After a short 3-week wait (now that's fast!) my bow arrived with yesterday's mail.      :jumper:    

Osage and walnut riser w/ a thin strip of red elm.  51# @ 28 / 58".
   

   

 

Thanks Chad!

That is a really nice piece of osage in the riser.  I love bows with all American woods.    :thumbsup:    :clapper:
