TwoTracks Ambush arrived!
« on: January 24, 2012, 08:37:00 PM »
My new Ambush from Chuck at TwoTracks was waiting for me at the Post Office after work today. I was very excited to get her home, and I was not disappointed. Beautiful bow!

I only got to shoot a couple as dark was falling fast, but I am a happy camper. Using arrows I had already, even though I still need to work out spine etc, the Ambush was much faster than previous bows.

I'm looking forward to shooting it is seriously, figuring out a hunting arrow set up, and getting ready for April. I'll be back at Ray's after hogs with the boys!

   

   

Chuck is a great guy to do business with. I had a nice chat with him this evening, and hope to talk with him more in the future.

Chuck is a GREAT guy to work with and builds GREAT bows at a GREAT price. How about all the technical stuff: woods, limb core, weight, etc. Sweet looking rig. Congratulations!

Sweet bow Pete. So I reckon there will be 4 of Chuck's creations at Hog Camp in April!  :thumbsup:

Thanks Rick, I'm really looking forward to it.

South, the pics are a little deceiving. It really looks brown in the hand unless you really look close. I'm really happy with the color combo!

I have the same set up, just different woods, but besides that, they are twins.

Full length 11/32" douglas fir, 60-65#, 5 1/2" shield or 5 3/8" banana feathers and 125 grain heads.  They fly awesome for me.

Pete, Nice talking to you as well and I hope you enjoy the bow.
The core is Amber actonboo and the riser is Burgandy Dymondwood,it is old stock. I built a Longwalker out of it using black glass,after I sprayed it,it almost went black. I was happy that it stayed lighter for this combo. Simple but classic.

Enjoy Pete,and THANK YOU.

Cool, I have been PM'ing with snag about some woods and he had suggested 55-60# 29" with 125s. So probably about the same total spine.

I think I'm going to go with woods.

I appreciate the info

Pete

Thanks Josh, the string that came with is sharp as well. I'll be contacting you about a couple spares in a week or two.

I forgot to mention my man Josh for hooking me up with the new string,colors matched great.
You can also see a pair of our new String Silencers installed. I  should  have a good supply of theses at the show.
Thanks all
