    Just a little back groin on my cousin. He has a learning disability which has an affect on his maturity level. He is 22 and is probably on a 16-17 year old level. He lives at home and works at the machine shop my uncle works for. He saves his money like a squirrel packing away nuts for the winter.

    Back in October or so my cousin bought the new Elite E35. While at the shop my uncle shot some of the new bows and fell in love with the PSE Bow Madness. He doesn't make a ton of money and wanted to buy one but, really can't afford one. He use to bow hunt but, quit back in 85 after his first son was born. Since then he started having some shoulder issues that wouldn't allow him to shoot his ancient Bear. When he realized how well the new bows shoot he told me he would love to be back in a stand with a new bow.

    I went and picked up my cousin last Friday night and the next day we went to the shop to shoot some indoor. Friday night he asked me to text the shop owner to see if they had a Bow Madness in the shop. They did. He told me that night he was buying my uncle the bow. The next day he did. He outfitted it with an HHA sight, Stokerized 8" stab, matching wrist sling and NAP Quick Tune rest.

    Here is my uncle shooting his brand new PSE. After nearly 29 years my uncle will be back in the Whitetail woods! Man what a smile it put on my face to see him shoot his new bow. Awesome son he has too!

    Jferg, if we could make it we surely would. June is a super busy month for us. I'll make it to one as soon as I can and I'll do everything I can to bring them. I'm ready to see him take a deer. Maybe I'll try to video it for him! That would be awesome!
