I've really been looking hard on Chads Bows,beautiful craftsmanship,I'vr heard nothing but good about Chad and his bows.He has a couple of stock bows that look great.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

Chads Osprey is one heck of a bow, I don't think you can go wrong with one of his bows.

Yours is 10 pounds heavier than mine, but I have not let anyone shoot it that didn't like it. Chad makes a great bow on all counts...fit, finish and performance.Can't wait to go elk hunting this fall with my Osprey!!!   :thumbsup:   Also tough to beat the price and wait time!!!!

I shot Ron's today.  10 ringed the target at 30 yards, I had to give it back before I did something stupid.  

Ron shot it very, very well. I think he may have finally found the "1" after shooting hundreds of bows.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

I was shooting my Osprey today.....boy it's a nice bow!   :thumbsup:  I think I may sell a couple more bows to thin the herd and get another Osprey.

You can't go wrong there either, I had a River Runner , SWEET !! Should've never let that one go, I just can't seem to stay away from the "longer" Hybrid style Bow & the Longer "D" Bow , Go ahead, get you one, you WILL like it ...

I also have a River Runner, I got it because it was a good deal on the classifieds..... I never realized it would turn out to be my go to bow for local hunts and stump'n.

Chad makes a great bow.  I own both an Osprey and River Runner both are smooth and fast.

The Osprey is a fine bow. Hope Chad is coming to Denton Hill this year. I might buy another one or maybe a River Runner.....DaveP
