My new Goshawk came in the mail today. Chad built this for me in my mothers memory. All native hardwood, Osage and Walnut riser with Walnut cores [3 lams] Dark green glass on the back and some nice yew on the belly. It's 66" 43# @ 29" and now the most beautiful bow on my rack......and I got a bunch.....lol. Chad is good guy to work with and always has positive input. I am very pleased. Pics are coming.
Your knees getting good enough for you to walk around and shoot this bow? Sounds like a very pretty one and now you can throw your River Runners under the bench and only bring out your Goshawk. Take Care Ed
LOL. yea Ed, I can walk around and shoot.....just have to do it slowly and on the level.

I'd name that bow the green hornet if it was in memory of my mom!
Moots, I shot my first Chadmade bow in Kalamazoo. What a treat! Seriously good bows made by a fella who is a joy to converse with. That, along with meeting tons of good folk, was one of my best memories of the trip I made to the Trad Expo.

Ron,
Good looking bow! Have any pic's of the bow strung and unstrung? And tips? :bigsmyl:
Check on Chad's web site, he has photo's strung and un-strung of all his models. Tips are small and well blended.

I shot one of Chad's bows once........now I have six of them.......lol. Very good fit and finish and performance the rivals anything I have shot pound for pound!!
That's a nice looking bow.
Looks awesome, Ron!
Beautiful Bow!
Ron, could you show a full-length profile of the bow, please?
Chad does make some fantastic bows. His only failing in this case is that he got the shelf on the wrong side :)
Got a chance to shoot my new Goshawk and I'm very impressed. Smooth, quick even with a heavy arrow [600gr]. I think this bow and I will get along just fine. The Osage in the sun is just amazing.
:thumbsup: :archer2:
Thanks for the nice words, folks. Ron is always a pleasure to work with. It just makes me feel good to build a bow for people like him. Take care, Chad

Thanks again Ken......a few asked to see the profile and the tips......here they are!
Nice one Ron !!! Always wanted to shoot one of Chad's bows.
Tomorrow the new Goshawk goes stumping for the first time.......will give a full report how she behaves!!
Great Looking bow Ron. I look forward to trying it!
Ron....
Very nice, And it's my poundage and draw length.
So after you get tired of it, Send it my way.
Took the Goshawk stumping today for the first time......I was not disappointed. Smooth, silent and with great cast. When I did make a bad shot, trust me it wasn't the bows fault.......lol
