Title: Holms River Runner
Post by: Airdale on April 16, 2014, 02:11:00 PM
Need some help.  Got my mind made up to order a River Runner.  Any photos out there to give me some ideas.  Thanks.

Do search for "Chad Holms out did himself this time" from April 2013. There is a photo of mine with a dual shelf. Cocobolo and Osage and Cherry lams. You can't go wrong with a River Runner    :thumbsup:

Ron, I pulled up that picture for about the tenth time yesterday. I'm about ready to tell Chad to put me on the list. A pretty short list too, fortunately. He said he could start as early as May.

I had an old Bear dual shelf that was "ok", but no better than ok. I am really anticipating something a lot different with a River Runner. Would I be a completely unforgivable copy cat if I asked him to try to make it look as much as possible like yours?

Click on the search up by the new topic spot. Type in "Chad holm out did himself" it will give you a list of titles. Find the title and then the pics are half way down the page. Have not decided on the hunt yet.....just in the planning stages.

Ron W. That is one great looking bow.  Not sure what else to say except to me it is one of the most striking bows my old eyes have laid on. Thanks for sharing and thanks Fla. Lime for posting the photos.

That makes me want to try shooting lefty! That bow is executed very well, and looks great. If I could shoot lefty as well as righty, that would sure open up a lot more shot opportunities from a stand or blind. Hmmm.... I have one of Chad's ospreys, and it is very accurate for me. His craftsmanship is among the best I've seen, and he's a helluva guy to work with.

Brian that coco bolo and osage posted in the pic above makes for a great combination IMO.Mine is almost identical.Mine has stained curly maple veneers and a bamboo core.I think osage and or Yew veneers would look great with that riser.
My bow is 62 inches.It shoots very sweetly!
I might have some pics I could send you.I gotta look in my files
