I had Chad make me a River Runner about a year ago.  Chad's bows perform great!!  I also own one of his Ospreys.  You won't meet a better guy to deal with!

Great shooters. I have a Osprey. It smokes an arrow. Super smooth and quiet bows.

I have one of his 58" River Runners (I do believe it is pictured on his site).  Beautiful and preforms with any bow I have owned.  You can not go wrong with a Holm-Made.

I sat around the campfire a few times with Chad and you won't find a better guy. A few friends and I have killed a pile of deer with his bows. Top notch all the way. Best bang for the buck out there.

One of my big regrets from the Denton Hill weekend was missing the chance to shoot one of the most beautiful one piece longbows I have ever seen.  Cocobolo riser, with stunning grey glass limbs.  The combo was gorgeous, but I was tied up in my booth all weekend and never got the chance to take a test drive.  Then Tippit walked back into camp carrying that very same bow and the regret really set in!  
Great looking work, and a fine man to deal with.  :thumbsup:

Two years ago at Denton Hill I was test shooting someone's bow and this guy next to me was shooting a Osprey and he said hey you ever hear of a Holm's bow and he insisted that I test shoot it. Well, I never forgot that and was vary impressed with his long bow's. So finally this year at Denton I ordered a Osprey. Chad is a great guy and was vary patient and helpful in taking my order. This will be my first long bow and I can't wait.

I bought an Osprey, [60", 44# at 28"] last year at Denton Hill. Extremely pleased and satisfied with the performance and workmanship of the bow.

I love my Osprey. It shoots a heavy arrow real well. I like 650gr Arrows. That is one bow I'll
Have when I go to the Big Hunt in the sky.

Spent some time chatting with Chad at Denton. I was picking his brain about the next one he will build for me. I have a River Runner and an Osprey, both are my go to bows. The longbow is going on my first Elk hunt in 3 weeks, my next one will be a 2 piece at about the same poundage....50# @ 29, and I think I will go 64" for the next one. Great guy and a fine craftsman..........   :thumbsup:

I would like to see some pictures of the grey limbed bow and the prototype bow as well. Chad do you have any pictures of both of them?
