Title: Holm come'n home.......it's here*** PICS ADDED***
Post by: ron w on February 22, 2011, 12:36:00 PM
Chad Holm PM'd me and said my new Osprey will be shipped this week, Cocobolo with an Osage "I" beam, Tamo ash lams, boo cores and antler tips. To say I'm excited is an understatement! 62"-52# @ 30" and I am ready for the weather to break and get shooting my new hunting companion     :wavey:     .

Ron, Personally I hope it stinks!

No offense, I just dont want to have to go and buy another bow   :readit:  

Cant wait till it gets here.

Folks here is a man who has shot 100's of bows, this only the 2nd custom bow he has ever ordered.

Sounds like a nice bow to take on a Elk hunting trip!

Post by: ron w on February 22, 2011, 08:36:00 PM
I would love this to become my go to bow.....it will look good at 9,000 feet in Colorado. I betting it will shot well also!

If it shoots anything like your River Runner, you will not need anymore bows.    ever...   :readit:

Don't worry Ron, I dont think you have anything to worry about.

Ron Congrats on the new Bow, an Osprey from Chad. Sound like an awesome bow. Don't let it disappear into Steve's harem. Sounds like he thinks he needs more bows. How many Bows can one man shoot or own (per my wife). But Who really cares. We all have needs.

Ron, I'm sure you will enjoy your Osprey. I bought one from Chad at Denton Hill last summer.It's a 60", 44# at 28" and I love it. It's quick, quiet and dead in the hand. I want to try a River Runner if Chads at Denton this summer and maybe make a purchase. What are the thoughts on yours?

Sounds like a real looker.  With woods like that it won't get lost with your other dozens of bows on that rack.
Congrats!

Post by: ron w on February 25, 2011, 12:01:00 PM
Went to the post office just before lunch today and there was this tube...........So I bring it home and open it up............All I can say is WOW. I want to thank Chad Holm for building me just what I asked for. I'll see if I can get some pics up this weekend. It's a blizzard outside so I have to wait to shoot it, but just looking at it is OK for now.

Maybe I'll get out of my driveway and come over ( I had a 4 foot plow bank when I came home   :mad:    :readit:    ).  We'll see what tomorrow brings.   :bigsmyl:  

Not what I was hoping for toward the end of cottontail season.

Waiting on the camera experts....did just come back in from shooting it. I'm really pleased. Seems to have good early string weight and it's smooth right to 29+". My 525 gr cedars are flying like darts. Just a bit of fine tuning and I should be good to go!!

Thanks for doing the pics Ken, as good as they came out they really don't do it justice. Been shooting it a bit and if I get a crack at an Elk this fall, it's in trouble!!!!!   :thumbsup:  Thank you Chad Holm!!!
Title: Re: Holm come'n home.......it's here*** PICS ADDED***
Post by: adkmountainken on February 27, 2011, 12:03:00 PM
let me tell ya Ron is right the pic's DO NOT do it justice by a looooong shot. i will take more pic's as soon as we get a good day in the woods, really need some outdoors pic's to show of these woods, inside pic's are not going to do it! Chad did a SUPREME job putting this bow together!

I'm glad you like the bow, Ron.  I think it turned out nice too.  The Tamo Ash is darker then the flash makes it look.  Your a great customer to work with and I appreciate your business.  Chad

Post by: Dave Paradowski on February 27, 2011, 03:22:00 PM
Ron, Thats a great looking bow. I hope that you really enjoy it. Now I'm really looking forward to trying out a River Runner if Chad is at Denton Hill this summer.
Have fun with the Osprey.....DaveP

Just went out this afternoon and ran some 750 Gr. laminated birch thru the bow. Holy cow it likes them and it really smacks the target with authority. I just happen to have some with broadheads, they may get some use this fall...lol!
