Holm-Made Bows...very nice shooter!!
« 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!!!!!!!!

Chad is a very stand up guy.  I have not shot one of his bows...YET...but it is on my list of things to do at the next Kalamazoo show.

I would like to find a used Lefty Take-Down Orion around 50 lbs.  I have heard really good things about Chad's bows!

I own one of Chad's River Runner recurves and one of his Osprey longbows.  Great bows that shoot as well as any out there!

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

Chad is a great guy and builds a great bow. I really enjoyed sharing a hunting camp with him, and I love the Osprey he built for me.

I was able to pick up a used Osprey longbow and let me say I am well pleased with it. I have shot a bunch of bow in my 50 + years of shooting and would put this Osprey right at the top of the list. Smooth draw, quick, quite and soft in the hand

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.

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.

I like both of my buddie's bows. 1 river runner and 1 osprey.
Relax,

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.

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!
