That is one ugly bow.

They are surely not using cast aluminum risers?

Snood Slapper 01-22-2007 05:59 PM

RE: Lobo bow
 
Looks like they cut the riser from the platform off a Lone Wolf treestand...

What the heck did you do to my photo?? [:@]

RE: Lobo bow
 
As for the bow - you're right, it does look like it's cut out from a Lone Wolf riser because it has the same camo pattern. The bow isn't built to impress people with it's stats or looks, it's built to kill deer. Simple concept. No bells and whistles, just a forgiving bow that's solid and will perform.

Andrae killed his 190" with one last fall, which is more than can be said for a lot of the fancy bows we all carry around.

you might call it ugly, but the prototype killed TWO B&C bucks in the same year!!

Andrae' 190+ and Adam Hays 200+ on video

not saying its a bad bow or anything because i know NOTHING about this bow. but i think it is dumb to brag about this bow because its prototype killed two really big deer. how is this different from killing two does?:eek: also im sure there are plenty of bows out there that have killed two b&c deer. this tells nothing of how good the bow is. I could kill a b&c deer with my browning rage if one walked by the stand.

im sure it performs well but everyone was just commenting on the looks of the riser. is this made by a new and upcoming bow company? lets hear the story behind this one. also what are the specs on it?

buckeye 01-22-2007 08:05 PM

RE: Lobo bow
 
Is that riser cast?

What is the weight on it?

Are those CPS cams? The bow andlimb angles look like a couple year old Darton Design, well except for the riser cut outs that is.

What are the specs for the bow?

Snood Slapper 01-22-2007 09:01 PM

RE: Lobo bow
 
I don't believe anyone commented that it wouldn't perform based on it's appearance. Besides, last I checked, the hunter had to do the harvesting...not the bow.

So, I must be a little slow on the uptake...this is a bow offered by Lone Wolf?.?.?

djkiller 01-22-2007 09:16 PM

RE: Lobo bow
 
Does look like CPS cams. I think its aweet looking!!! Personally I'm tired of new bows all looking the same. I like it when people try to mix things up and change the looks !!! I'll bet it does shoot nice also. If it takes off or not isnt the question. Its when !!

Justin 01-22-2007 09:19 PM

RE: Lobo bow
 
Yes, it is a CPS cam and the riser design is loosely based on a Darton as well. Here's what I know - 3.9 lbs with a 35" axle to axle length and 7.25" brace height.

I'll get the rest of the specs tomorrow.

Cougar Mag 01-22-2007 09:47 PM

Are the bows going to be available to the public? Personally I like the riser design, but I am wondering if they have found a way to make sure their are no air pockets in the casting process.

Looks like something you would find in a box of Honeycomb cereal.....anyone got milk?:D:D:D

The killing of a big buck anology tobring credence to this bowdoesn't work for me either.

Is the riser cast or machined?

newman1 01-23-2007 06:06 AM

RE: Lobo bow
 
The riser is supposed to be urethane dampened to be deadly quiet.Whatever that means.

Justin 01-23-2007 06:43 AM

RE: Lobo bow
 
Well, I had hoped that the brochure I picked up had more info but it doesn't. I'll see if I can't find out more info on the riser later today. For now, this is all I've got.


Cougar Mag 01-23-2007 07:18 AM

RE: Lobo bow
 
I'm interested. If it turns out as good as their treestands it should be good! Hopefully they will have one or two at the Illinois Deer and Turkey classic next month.

I had heard the rumor last year that lone wolf was comeing out with this bow , looks good , that risor has to be stiff . Darton cams are the best made IMO , merlins are a copy and just as good . I will concure with what others said about the P an Y bucks taken , lone wolfs pro has been seen hunting farmed deer with tags already in their ears , true story , not realy what Id call hunting .

WKP Todd 01-23-2007 08:01 AM

RE: Lobo bow
 
Yes, the riser is cast, it uses the same material that the treestands utilize, and is the one and only riser on the market utilizing the particular casting process. One of a kind.

If you haven't noticed from past Lone Wolf products, Andrae doesn't make products too look cool and to be admired in a store somewhere. They are made to hunt, and I'm proud to have been apart of the design process on this bow. IMO, simplicity is the name of the game.

If you want to know the truth, the dull gray pattern of this bow will blend into a hunting far better than any camo-dipped bow out there. Ever noticed how well a L.W. stands blend into the environment?

What material are the limbs and what process was used to manufacture them ( laminated etc ).

What is the IBO speed rating of the bow?
What material are the limb pockets?
What material is the grip?
Whatare the strings made from?
What draw lengths is it offered in?

What is the cost of the bow?

yea i wanna know what buckeye said

wis_bow_huntr 01-24-2007 05:34 AM

RE: Lobo bow
 
Well if you cant shoot the deer with it maybe it scare the death out of the deer, or you could just throw it at the deer and knock them out. That is the uuuugliest bow I have ever seen in my life.

rush creek 01-24-2007 11:31 AM

RE: Lobo bow
 
that may be the dumbest statement i have ever heard that it is the ugliest bow you have ever seen maybe you can throw it at the deer and kill it. well i'm not going out and buying one anytime soon but if they perform as well as there stands do i will shoot one and see what i think. i look for products that work not look pretty!

gibblet 01-24-2007 03:04 PM

RE: Lobo bow
 
rush creek - a lot of folks want their stuff to work - and look pretty.
me and a bunch of other folks make our living that way in this industry.
believe me- something can be both. i saw the bow - stood right next to it. i didn't shoot it - i held it though. i wouldn't buy it, personally - completely based on personal preference. its not pretty enough. right or wrong - that's how it is, and that's how its going to be. the bow sounds like a winner to me - and when finished i'm sure it will be quality if lone wolf associates themselves with it - and i hope they take this to heart - i am positive they will sell more of them if they make them prettier.

RE: Lobo bow
 
ijimmey, you have you info wrong,way wrong, on the deer, they've harvested, no ear tags, 100% fair chase, not a true story, just lies by jealous people.

buckeye 01-26-2007 02:35 PM

RE: Lobo bow
 
So I guess no one knows anything or has any information on this bow?

shaftcaster 01-26-2007 05:24 PM

RE: Lobo bow
 
Its just in the prototype stage as of now even though its been used to hunt with this past season. They are working on the type of coating to go on the riser and a few other things.

Even if I were interested in this bow that statement right there would have me waiting to see if the bow works. Hell, that god awful ugly riser could break with all them holes in it[&:]. Let it be tested in the field first under all weatherand huntingcondititions.

RE: Lobo bow
 
I haven't seen Lone Wolf put out any "junk" yet.I went with their climbingsticks and hangon this year. Loved them. Their stands are rated at 350# and other companies are lucky to rate 300#. You can bet that if it has Lone Wolfs name on it, it is quality and quiet. I already have a hot chic, I don't need a pretty bow;)I have my Hoyt and Bowtech for that.[8D]

Kaptinnemo 06-09-2010 08:10 PM

Solid bow
 
It's definately a solid bow, I have one and they are meant to kill, they are light, and accurate, and deadly silent, the whole riser is coated in a plastic/rubber type of thing to keep it more silent from vibration, also all the parts are connected with rubber gasets to keep it silent. My lonewolf treestand and lobo are definately my silent partners!
