Thinking about purchasing one of these....who owns/has owned/shot this bow and what did ya think?  Pictures if you have them, much apprecitated and thank you!

I have a 60" Osprey, 44lbs @ 28". It is pretty quick and quiet on the shot with no handshock. I draw around 27". I think it's a real nice bow. Dave

You can't do much better than one of Chad's bows. I had a River Runner recurve that I sold when I switched to left hand. I picked up a used 60" left hand Osprey that was 49#@28". I already had a couple bows in that weight range and Chad had a 42# 61" Osprey in stock so we worked a trade. I draw 29" and there was no stacking on the 60", and of course none on my new 61". Here are some pics of the one I traded off. I'll try to get some pics of my new one, although this one is prettier.

They are awesome shooting bows and Chads craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable.  One of the best values out there.

Chad actually has that bow of Bladepeek's in stock right now, look for it on his stock bows page.  I actually owned it at one time.  It's in perfect shape and a shooter.  ---he's got it listed for $375, a steal.

I have a 62" Osprey. I draw 31".

I asked Chad if he could try to build the bow so it would not add more than 2.5lbs an inch over 28 and he did just that.

Let me tell you, this is a wonderful bow. It is not fussy, drives a heavy arrow hard and is just downright accurate. I shoot it with 450+, 8 strands, w/catwhiskers and its very quiet.

A great bow/bowyer.

nineworlds9, Yep, that's your (and my) bow. Terrific price on what is a very quick little bow! And, it's still spotless. I'm very happy with the one Chad traded me - the 42#@28", as I can shoot many more arrows with it than I can my 47 - 50# bows. I save the heavier ones for hunting and pre-season practice. The rest of the year I love my light bows. That sure is a pretty one, though.
