I am in awe (Part Deux)
« on: March 30, 2011, 08:21:00 PM »
I wrote a few weeks about how great my new Holm-Made Osprey was.

Well, today I received my River Runner, and again I'm awestruck.  This bow is beautiful, and shoots better than it looks.  I had it made with Chad's 60's style riser which fits perfectly in my hand.

The draw is smooth and simply doesn't feel as heavy as 62#@28.  The cast is impressive and shoots flat out past 20 yards with a 625gn arrow.  Shoots were I look (sometimes I don't see so good  ;) ).  I simply love this new bow.  The only disappointment I'm feeling is that deer season is so far away.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥

I recently took an inventory of the bows I've owned. I came up with 58, most from the workshops of very well known bowyers.

I have known of Chad's bows for several years as I see him displayed at our local shoots. For reasons I really don't understand, I never gave them much thought. Anyway, a few weeks ago on a whim I bought a used Osprey longbow from a local fellow. Immediately upon shooting it I recognized it was not just another "good" bow.

I recently sent Chad this e-mail and it pretty well sums up my thoughts:

Chad:

Good seeing you at the NASP shoot.

I want to tell you again, this Osprey I have is about as nice and overall bow in terms of looks, build, quality and most important shooting as any I've had and that is saying something!

The only thing I'll say is that when I swapped out the original string with an 8-strand D-10 "skinny string" from Silent But Deadly bowstrings (or a 8 strand 450+ from Oliverstacy strings) it even got better. That, and finding the sweet spot for brace height (7-1/2") and nock point 5/8" made this bow nearly as quiet as a good Hill style. Pretty incredible shooting bow fast, stable, and quiet!

Take care,

Jay
