I have no pictures but, It was my go to bow for this past season. Mine is a real plain Jane with black glass. Specs are 43# @ 28 60" I draw 29". This bow at that weight out performs other bows that I have that are 5-7 pounds heavier, using the same arrows. Chad is a real nice guy to talk to and will go out of his way to help or answer any question. His prices are in line also. A true craftsman.

I have had a 60" 50lbs River Runner since March. It has Chad's kodiak style grip one it. I have shot bows that cost twice as much,  that in my opinion dont shoot near as nice as Chads

I have been shooting trad bows for over 40 years, but they all belonged to other archers before I owned them.  Last summer, after talking to Chad at the Iowa Traditional Shoot, I decided to have Chad make me my first ever "made for me" bow.  I wanted darker colors in the woods, so I chose a darker bocote riser with a little Indian rosewood in it.  The limbs are darker bamboo with curly koa veneers and clear glass.  The bow came out great!  But the best part is the performance!  I have owned and shot a lot of fine bows over the years and can say Chad's River Runner performs with the best of them. The River Runner design is a real shooter! I have some pics of mine on the Highlights 2010 thread under "Iowa Halloween Buck".

Thanks Pickngrin...  Hey went over to Highlights 2010, Congrats on a Fine Buck,and thats an Good Look'n Bow!              KYArcher

Awesome bows in every way and Chad is super to deal with.

[KYArcher]

Nice Pitbull! Is that brown glass on your limbs? KY

[pitbull]

The glass is clear over walnut lams. My buddy is hunting with that bow right now or I would take some better pics for you.

[KYArcher]

Sorry it was hard to tell at that angle, I bet that walnut looks good!    KY

One of the smoothest and quietest recurves I have ever shot!

If his recurves are anything like his Osprey... silk, pure silk.
