LH "LOSTCREEK" TAKE-DOWN PASS-AROUND/1ST REVIEW ADDED

[BOWMARKS]

Sorry gang I shoot from a wheelchair and could not shoot bow comfortably,is on to next member.

Sorry MARK

[crotch horn]

It's ok bowmarks. Just think folks are waiting to hear what y'all think. What issues did you have shooting from the chair? Just wondering?

[BOWMARKS]

I was having string contact with a wheel on most draws,had to kant the bow uncomfortably. I did like the way the grip fit my hand and the workmanship,but I did not realy spend to much time at my indoor range with it once I found my difficulties.      

Sure the rest of you will enjoy  MARK

[Bud B.]

No sweat Mark. I liked the grip also. I was also surprised at how quick it is.

Hey Bowmmarks,
Thanks for the PM, that was very kind of you.

Hope I didn't put my foot in my mouth!

I agree that Chad's grips are very comfortable.

[K. Mogensen]

Loving this thread. Looks like another great bow! I'll definitly be watching for what others have to say.

Are you still building your recurves Chad? Thanks!

[Lost Creek Bows]

Yes, I'm still building the recurve in 56" and 58". I just haven't got much as far as orders for them as of lately.

[pickaspot]

I just saw this one - how cool is it to have a leftie pass around?!

Please put me on the list for later this summer. My wife and I are lefties and will be happy to give you our $0.02

[Ron B]

Any open spots left? Us lefties don't get much chance at something like this.

[Rosco1]

Is there any room left on the list?
I'd like to give it a try.

Chad and I spoke on the phone about the bow.  What a great conversation - I was impressed with the man!
Now to the bow:  It is as good in person as the pics- fit and finish is top-notch.  I couldn't get over how smooth the draw was - out to my 29" with no problem.  I was surprised by how LITTLE handshock there is in this little bow-  And it is VERY light-weight.  It shoots great with the FF string Chad supplied, but I didn't care at all  for the dacron string that has been added.
I'd give this bow a hearty endorsement, but with one additional comment.  I normally shoot 64-66" and at 58" it was short for my tastes.  I'd say up to 28" draw it would be fine, but even then I'd suggest going to 60".  For myself, I'd go to 62" or even 64" if Chad offers that length.  At the short length,light weight and my longer draw, it takes a good deal of concentration to maintain the form to shoot it well.  By that I mean it responds to slight changes in grip placement and pressure.  As I talked to Chad about that, he agreed I'd do better with a bit longer length.
As I said, I'm impressed with the man, his willingness to discuss his work and the design/workmanship of the bow.  
Good job Chad and thanks for opportunity to test the bow!

[Bud B.]

Jump on it lefties.

[skilonbw]

I was thinking of trying the bow. However Chad do you think with a 31.5" draw length that it will stack to much on me?

[Bud B.]

Having shot it myself I think it might stess the limbs too much. I draw 29".

[Paul Mattson]

Where is the bow now?  Will be watching for it.

[Bud B.]

Any lefty reports?

[Bud B.]

[suburbanirma]

I'd like to try the bow, too, if there's still a spot available. Tom

[trad_in_cali]

I'd take it for a spin. Looks lovely and at my 28" draw length, right on the money. Will it be OK 3 under (it usually is with the nock point higher)?
Thanks for the opportunity, lefties get way too few.
