I have found a used River Runner that I was seriously thinking about buying and wanted to know how you all liked yours.

Loved mine, but it had a fatal flaw - it was right handed. I now have a really nice little Holm Made Osprey. I've owned several other bows by Chad Holm and I don't see how you could possible go wrong if the specs are right for you.

I bought a new Holm Made Osprey recently and have been very pleased. I don't think you can go wrong.

A River Runner is my go to hunting bow. I also have a Kodiak copy of Chad's and a dual shelf River Runner. You can't go wrong, great bows, great bowyer and a good guy. Also have 2 of his longbows......what can I say, I like his stuff.

I have a RiverRunner that is just a super nice bow. The finish is good and design is good. Only problem I have is with the thumb rest. It is really awkward for me but I hate to remodel the bow and refinish it. I guess one of these days I will put it in the adds. I hate too though since it is such a nice bow. Anyone should be proud to own one.
God bless, Steve

I have not shot any of Ron's extensive collection of Chad's bows that I didn't think, Wow, I love this bow.
If I was looking for another bow, I would seriously give the river runner a look.

Have a 60'' 48@28 River Runner. New to traditional and wanted a 50's style bow starting out. Looked at other bows but decided on Chad after reading an interview.
He was very helpful with me as I had a lot of questions being new. Typical of most bowyers from what I have read here.
Based on my experience I recommend Chad without reservation.

I owned two of Chad's River Runners. Ron owns one of them now.
I currently own an Osprey and really like how it handles. Chad's bows are truly works of art. You would not be disappointed.
Good Shooting,
Craig

I should have mine middle or late next week. Can't wait. It is a 44 pound bow @ 28 and I draw 27. Think I will order some CE Heritage 90's for it. All of my arrows are 150's so figure they might be a little stiff.

What are you shooting up front on the 150's. May have to just go up in point weight.

You might be surprised at how they fly.....I would give them a try as is and see what happens. I think you will be happy with your River Runner....

I have wanted to try one for quite some time. This one is exactly the poundage I would have wanted had I ordered a new one.
