Title: Holm-Made Bows...very nice shooter!!
Post by: djanko on March 20, 2011, 05:26:00 PM: Recently picked up a Holm-Made longbow and to say I am impressed is an understatement. I've been a recurve guy but will try a longbow now and then. I would like to let everyone know that these bows are excellent shooters and even more importantly, they are extremely reasonably priced. Anyone looking for a great shooting longbow should consider, no, they should buy a Holm-Made longbow...Very Nice!!!!!!!!

Post by: DeerSpotter on March 20, 2011, 09:59:00 PM: But Dan,

Not everyone is as nice as I am !

you got a very good deal from me.

But you're not going to get my other osprey !

I really enjoy it .

And Chad is a very good fellow to work with .I am fortunate to be able to drive up to his place. And he is spent the average of 2 to 3 hours with me for each bow,To make sure that it was right for me .

And you're right about January ,He is getting too popular ! prices are gonna go through the ceiling

Buy now ,Buy now

Post by: JCJ on March 21, 2011, 09:22:00 PM: I am finding mine to be an outstanding bow. It is 62" and I am drawing 31" with no issue or discomfort. Smooth, stable, accurate bow in my hands.

Post by: bartcanoe on March 21, 2011, 09:33:00 PM: Can't agree more, a fast, smooth shooting bow.

I took the Osprey I received on Monday to a 3D shoot on Saturday, and scored the highest score I have ever had in 3D. Great shooting bows.

Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on March 21, 2011, 10:16:00 PM: I like both of my buddie's bows. 1 river runner and 1 osprey.

Post by: Big Fisherman on March 24, 2011, 12:08:00 PM: Have been shooting recurves for a long time. I tried out both the straight and the recurve at Chad's factory. I bought the recurve, probably due to familiarity and am very satisfied with it. The River-runner recurve is not a center shot, so I did adjust to the change by going from 125 to 175 tips. Works well now.

Post by: LimbLover on March 24, 2011, 04:18:00 PM: I'm wanting one of these more and more.
Title: Re: Holm-Made Bows...very nice shooter!!
Post by: SkottyBoy on March 24, 2011, 05:17:00 PM: I have traded around and bought new longbows and recurves(too many according to my wife). The Holm-Made River Runner 58" 51@28 will not leave!!! Fits me better and I just plain shoot it better than any other bow I have owned. Chad makes one heck of a bow that is worth a try. You will be impressed!
