Nice looking bow, the Osprey is a great shooting bow and Chad does fine work.

Very nice!  I have an Osprey and a River Runner from Chad.  Both are excellent shooters and lookers!

That looks sweet, except that the shelf got cut out backwards!   :jumper:  I really like that wood combination. Is that a two piece with a bow bolt?

Thanks Barry.  Glad it is working out for you.  The Osprey has alot of early draw weight, which is why they have a smooth pull to them.  Your bow actually has cocobolo in the riser.
It was nice working with you as well.  Chad

Nice Work Chad!!!!

If the Osprey shoots half as nice as the River Runner it has to be a keeper!!!

Chad is a great guy to be around and makes an outstanding bow. I have an Osprey that is very similar in construction to Barry's bow, including the BowBolt, and it shoots lights out! I have always said that a Holm-Made bow is the best buy I know of in a high quality bow. If I were limited to hunting with only my Osprey for the rest of my life, I would miss my other bows but still be a happy man. I have shot half a dozen or more Holm-Made bows, both Ospreys and River Runners, and they all shoot extremely well and are very fast, as Barry stated. The early draw weight not only makes them smooth, it also allows the limbs to store more energy and is part of what makes the bows so fast. Between the River Runner and the Osprey, I slightly prefer the Osprey, but other folks may have a different opinion.

I know one thing, There are about three bows I would like to get some day and Chads is one of them. Awsome workmanship Chad. I looked it over close and find no fault with it anywhere. That is a bow that the owner can be thankful to have and the Bowyer can say he was blessed to make.
God bless you all, Steve

Great-looking bow berry, I have an osprey, I had three of them at one time, Now I'm down to one !

I'm feeling a little withdrawal , Maybe it's time to call Chad again !

He is a great bow maker , And a fantastic personality to work with.

Great looking bow Barry.  We need to go try it out on some hogs pretty soon.  I will have a chance to go look around prety quick and I will give you a shout.

Chad, how ya liking the 64''er you're building now, is the riser longer, or the limbs or a touch of both ? Thank You, Adam

It has a longer riser.  20"  Working limb is about the same as the shorter bows.  I plan to shoot a bear in June with the new 64" bow.  Chad
