As most of you already know, I've had "ALOT" of Hybrid style L/B's in the last "few" years, I recently picked up an "Osprey" from Chad, all I can say is "WOW" !! You really got something here buddy !! Extremely smooth, very quick & deathly silent, any one lookin for this style of bow, check em out !!! Thanks Chad !!!

Definitely on my short list!

Congrats on the new bow

Nice pick-up, Adam.

no pictures?  Chad's bows look as good as they shoot.

I have an Osprey with a Bow Bolt that makes it a two piece takedown. I think it is about as fast as any trad bow, including some that sell on their reputation for speed. The Osprey is also relatively lightweight, very stable, smooth, accurate, and dead in my hand. I cannot say it is my absolute favorite bow, but it is very close, and it costs about half of many bows that it will easily equal in every way other than cost. I still contend that the Osprey is the best buy you can get in a reflex/deflex longbow, and that is why I would rate it #1 if I were doing a Consumers Guide comparison of traditional bows. The fact that Chad is also a very good guy and a TradGang sponsor is just a bonus. If I could only have one bow, was buying new, and could not spend more than $500, I would buy the Osprey #7 in the Sponsors' Classified Osprey sale. If I could spend $700, I would get a similar bow with a Bow Bolt -- which is basically what I have now. I also have a few dozen other bows -- but that is beside the point.   :rolleyes:

Chad is a good bowyer and an even better person. You won't go wrong dealing with him.

You get far more bow then you pay for when dealing with Chad.

You got that right Chad, I've had "most" of the Big Name Hybrids & this Osprey will stay right with em & surpass about all of them !! I can only imagine what his Riverrunner Curve will do ...  And what a gentleman Chad is ..... These bows should cost "ALOT" more !!

I've had an Osprey since December.  Awesome bows and awesome bowyer.  Chad is great to work with.

I am really liking my Osprey!

Well, it's been a week now with the "Osprey" and I must say, Im Very Impressed !! Anyone looking for a Hybrid style L/B should really check these out ...
