My new Lost Creek- what a GREAT bow
« on: April 26, 2011, 09:46:00 AM »
Just received my new Lost Creek Life Ender from Chad. The specs are 56" and 47# @ 28". I have posted before how much I like Chad's bows. I think this one is my all time favorite. This bow is super quiet, no hand shock and is very fast. I know grips are a personal thing, but the grips on the Lost Creeks are my favorite of all the bows I have owned. The one thing that always amazes me is how easy the Lost Creeks are to shoot accurately compared to anything else I have shot. Some bows you shoot and they are touchy, you have to hold them just a certain way. I have found after shooting 3 Lost Creeks now that they are the most forgiving bow for me to shoot with consistency. I did a test drive last week of a bow that costs just a hair under $1,000 and IMO this Lost Creek blows it away. I guess I could be considered a bowaholic and have bought and traded over 20 bows in the last few years. The bows I own or have owned are considered by most to be some of the best out there and I have to say FOR ME this Life Ender is my favorite. Chad is one of the nicest guys I have ever done business with. If you are looking for a fantastic bow at a very affordable price then you might want to try and get your hands on one to shoot. Bottom line is I love this bow.

Nice bow and Zebrawood lams.    :thumbsup:   You don't hear much about bows being forgiving, but for somebody like me that should be high on the bow criteria.

Nice LC you got there!

I'm with ya on all those points you make. Great grip, fast and forgiving. Mine's also not picky about arrows either, and almost actually silent with just a pair of whiskers.

You got a winner there!

azhunter, I could not agree more... I won't admit to the number of bows I have purchased in the last three years or so but the Lost Creeks are without doubt one of the most shooter friendly, forgiving, and best value for dollar spent bows on the market IMHO...

Very nice shooter, congrats  :)

Chad does build a good shooting bow for sure.

He also has one of the best grips, especially on left handed bows. Chad is a southpaw himself, and I'm convinced that contributes to him being able to build a great leftie grip, where some right handed bowyers just can't seem to get a grip correct for a leftie....same goes for couple other leftie bowyers.

Left handed bowyers just seem to be better at building left handed bows.

I have one of Chad's original longbows, and it shoots as good, if not better than anything I've ever picked up.

The riser and veneers on your bow just look like they belong together....CONGRATS

You know, I really need to start saving up for that legacy. Chad's bows are getting so popular, I don't know how he can keep the price as affordable as he does.

I'll be honest, I've looked at other bows, shot other bows, and drooled over other bows. Then I go and shoot my LC NAT, break some nocks, smile a little, and say, "What was I thinking?" Chad builds an AWESOME bow.

Those Legacy's are soooooo nice!
