Title: Holm-Made Bows
Post by: minnesota_hunter on August 17, 2008, 06:47:00 PM
just wondering who has shot one of Chad's bows(he is a sponser here).  this weekend i had the pleasure of meeting Chad and tring a few of his bows.  the only problem i could find, was picking out wich one i liked the best (i liked them all).  the bows are very well built and look great.  i ended up with a 59" long bow.  it has a diamond wood riser,  red ceder limbs with a bamboo core.  it is 46 lbs @ 28".  i have a 27 " draw, and it shoots fast and it has no hand shock at all.  for those interested in speed, i shot it through the crono with both sets of arrows i had with. with my ceder arrows at 499 grains it was at 163 - 165 f/s with my aluminums at 450 grains it was 168 - 170 f/s.  with my short draw, i think this bow is smokin fast.

I shoot his bows. Great looking bow that preforms as good or better than some of the "big" name bows. He also sponsors a MN bow building weekend where you can build your own bow with his guidance. A better person you will never meet.
