I'm very happy with my Two Tracks Ambush
« on: May 13, 2012, 01:33:00 AM »
I must admit I was a little skeptical about this short but sweet looking little bow. I have a couple of Two Tracks long walkers & love them. Everytime I visited Chuck I would look at & admire this little bow, I'm a hunter first and an archer second and this little bow just looked sweet for maneuvering thru the woods.

But, I have read numerous times a longbow is more forgiving to mistakes, I'm not an excellent shot by any means, my goal in traditional archery is to keep them within a paper plate & that's good to go hunting with, I consider myself a 15 -18  yard hunter.

Today I left the longbow in the house & went stumpshooting with a good friend. I told him I need to find out if I can shoot this little bow    :rolleyes:  yes I was skeptical & nervous I bought something I might not be able to hunt with.

I can tell you I was blown away with how good this bow shot for me ! I was hitting plastic 20 ounce pop bottles at 20 & 25 yards ! That is amazing for me !  

I honestly don't know if the bow is that amazing (I think Chuck  sprinkled some magic dust on it ! )  or the stories of a longbow's being more forgiving are lies.

I went into shooting this bow as a skeptic, I am now an Ambush fan. I warned Chuck by email today another Ambush is in my future !

Have others found that they can shoot a short recurve better than a longbow ?

Glad it is the bow yo hoped for.  I hope to add one to the stable some day.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I have LOTS of longbows and only 1 recurve.  The recurve is an Ambush by Two Tracks, and it gets regular rotation.  I love the way it draws and especially how it casts a heavy wood shaft.  Chuck is a mighty fine Craftsman.  I believe if more people shot the Ambush, he would sell a whole bunch more.

I'm glad your happy with yours.

I recently sold an ambush, not because I didn't like it or because I couldn't shoot it. Actucally I shot it pretty good for my ability and it looked cool, but as far as shooting a short recurve better than a longbow, not even close for me. I shoot longbows much better than recurves or any length, but everyone is different.

I sold one of the prettiest bows I've ever owned - an Ambush with water moccasin skins. I shot it well (for me), but with my long draw, I was at the bow's max draw and also at my max weight . Figured it could only go downhill as I got older. Sure was a sweet bow, though. Still get the urge to order one around 42@28. At 29.5", that would more than adequate for deer.

Oh boy, now I can't wait for mine to get finished! I ordered an ambush made with Osage core and Honduran rosewood riser that im expecting around the 1st of july. It's gonna be 60# @ 28 and I can't wait to slay some piggies with it this summer then some whitetail this fall! Everything I hear about chucks bows is positive and makes me more anxious every day.
Now then, get your weapons, your quiver and your bow and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.- Genesis 27:3

I shot Mike Vines Ambush during the St Judes Hog Hunt this year. I fell in love and as a matter of fact I finally bit the bullet the other day and ordered one. I have to say Chuck is a very nice man and was very helpful with my choices. I can hardly wait to get mine! Congrats on your new bow and know you will enjoy it!

Lol yep I believe I was making plans after the first shot    :laughing:

I can hardly wait for mine! Bud B. and I are already trying to figure out when we can get back down there. I have some unfinished business with a armidillo. Hopefully I'll have it by then!
