I have had an Osprey two piece longbow with a Bow Bolt for a couple of years. It is a great bow. I have shot many more of Chad's bows, including the River Runners. You simply cannot go wrong with a Holm-Made bow. I hunted with Chad last year. He is a lot of fun to spend time with and couldn't be nicer. Chad is a superior human being and bowyer. He even collected some red cedar and osage from the area we were hunting out in western Oklahoma to take home for building bows. That's pretty cool to see him harvesting the logs that will eventually be part of bows like the one he built for me and the others I have shot. Besides being accurate and smooth, even at my 29.5" draw, Chad's bows are FAST. If I had only one bow to shoot for the rest of my life, I would not be disappointed if it was a Holm-Made bow. That says a lot since I have more than 40 bows made by some of the best bowyers in the business.

Well the mail was good today ,My Holm-Made recurve was there. I'm impressed,60" 43#@28 [I draw 29"] and as the seller [Monkeyball] said in like new shape. Very smooth to the draw and it's quick,The bow has a friendly grip and is light in the hand. I wish I had the ability to do photos but you can see the River Runner on his web site. I think this bow may out perform some higher priced bows I have.I'm very pleased and I think this bow and I can become friends......lol!

The best part is that I get to test out all of Ron's bows. I get to give them my approval.   :bigsmyl:  

Ron,

You have my approval from the seller.  Craig is a stand up guy. I bought my Voodoo from him.  a bow you will shoot soon enough.

Prolly see you in the morning, I  have a bow to test out.   :goldtooth:
Relax,

You'll live longer!

This bow gets my approval.   :thumbsup:  

Pleasure to shoot, feels like a longbow.  Shoots an arrow quite fast could make a great 40lb hunting bow.

Good find Ron.   :archer:
