After seeing a video of Chad Holms new 64" River Runner I felt it was only right that I own one. Many of you know I'm a real fan of Holm-Made bows and that just got confirmed. 64" 46.5# @ 29", green glass on the back, Osage riser, and the best looking cherry I have ever seen on the belly. This has a phenolic "I" beam and Chad gave me a dual shelf. So, I take it out of the shipping tube and I'm smitten by the Osage, just beautiful.
 Then I see the cherry on the belly, it's wild. I string it up and out the door I go with a bunch of arrows, just to see what it likes. 2016 alum, 45/60 carbons, 60-65 and 50-55 cedars. Shot the bow 15 yards and then 20 yards. The bow don't care........shot all those arrows like they were made for it. Chad once again amazes me with his skill as a bowyer and his turn around time is very good. Should have some pics shortly......

I like that - a long recurve with a dual shelf! Must be awfully smooth, and sounds forgiving on spine even with the dual cut-outs.

Hey, Ron....just exactly how many bows are in your possession. I expect you to win the Muzzy with this one next year.

:dunno:   Way more than I need.....but we all have our vice's to contend with. I really enjoy bows of all types, Hills and Hill style, good "D" shaped longbow. Now I have several Bear T/D's and most anything Chad Holm's makes......if it's not to heavy......lol. Bows, knives', bikes.....it's all good.

Great looking bow, and it's only going to get purtier as that Osage ages.
