What bowmaker was I looking at?????
« on: October 18, 2010, 02:17:00 PM »
Hello,

I was looking at bowyers online the other day.
I found one that looked very interesting.
They made longbows.

The thing that made them stand out from some others was the available grips.

A big difference was they offered the grip with or without a thumb rest. The rest looked like it was a extra piece glued on to the grip.

I thought I bookmarked the page...guess not.

Can anyone help me out finding this bowyer???

Thank you!!

Holm Made offers his longbows with or without the thumbrest.  They are great shooting bows and Chad is great to deal with.

Sounds like a Toelke Whip to me.

Did it look like this?

Never shot a holm so I can't comment there, but my t/d whip is awesome, quiet and easy to shot. Dan completely customized my grip and it is just like I wanted.

You can't go wrong with a Holm-Made bow. Chad is a great guy and builds a real nice bow. My Holm is my go to bow for hunting this year........
