Anybody gotta Bryan Holley bow?

[joekeith]

Just wonderin' who else has one of Bryan Holley's bows.  I recently got one of his Spirit recurve bows.  One of our sponsors here, RMSGear, has been sellin' 'em for about 5 yrs. now.  I just heard of 'em, kinda slow I know.  Anyway they seem like pretty nice bows.  The one I just got is 58" and 47# @ 28".  I thought this would be an ideal weight for me and the wife to share.    Wrong....a little too light for me to like, and a little to heavy for the wife.  It does shoot good and is pretty darn accurate.  Here's some pics to give ya a better idea of what they're like....

and one more
 

So what do yas think ?

I have a Spirit longbow by Bryan Holley,     62" 40# @ 28" I got it in a trade here on this site. Well finished smooth to the draw and quick for 40#. I am surprised that more folks haven't found out about Bryan's bows, they are really kind'a nice! I would like to try one of his recurves some time!

I had a Spirit longbow for a while, picked it up at RMS Gear in Denver. Really nice bow, I have just gotten away from the traditional longbow grip. His bows are well made and accurate.

I like the looks of that recurve though!

I can't say enough good words about the Spirit bows by Brian Holley!  I bought his Spirit longbow 62" 48# @ 28" last summer and am totally impressed.  They shoot fast and are very quiet.  The bow is extremely stable.  It definitely spits out an arrow with authority!

I had a 48# longbow of his and she was a sweet shooter. Its the bow I'm shooting in my picture. Sold her to finance another bow. Lots of bow for the buck.......Randy

Would any of you guys with a longbow be willin' to make a trade?  I just don't seem to care for curves much anymore.  I started out just shootin' curves, but about a year ago started switchin' to longbows.  Now they just seem to fit me.

If that was a bit lighter........I bet that if you go to the classifieds with those photos and look for a trade you will find one in a short period of time. At 58" and with my 29" draw it wouldn't work for me. Holley does make a nice shooting bow!!Good luck in your search!

I was snooping around on the internet today and came across this thread from several years ago.

Much to my surprise, this Spirit recurve jumped up.  I purchased this bow last spring from a fellow in California.  Seems like it has been all over the country.  

I love shooting it and used it as my primary hunter this fall.  It's the only recurve that I've seen made by Bryan.  I also own one of his longbows and have always been very impressed with it also.  One of the best kept secrets out there.  RMSG (a sponsor) sells  them for Bryan.

That's cool that it's still being shot and hunted.

Been shooting A Bryan Holley Longbow for about a month now. All I can say is FANTASTIC.
I was doing well with my recurve and then the Spirit arrived and actually makes me look good. Smooth and dead on first few shots and after a bit of tuning, groups very well, even for an inexperenced shooter like my self.  Joe

Nice looking bow.

Keith you can't go wrong with a Spirit longbow.

I've owned a couple of them over the years and if I hadn't changed to all straight limbed bows I most likely would still be shooting one.

God bless,Mudd

The holly bows are very nice. He is a skilled man that is for sure. The Spirit bows are really quiet with good speed and stable. He had a good design that is for sure
