Default Step one: Admit you have a Problem (Man Law within)

So I knew she was coming. I wanted her for turkey season but wasn't sure as I only ordered her a couple weeks ago but when I came home from work tonight, there she was waiting for me on the front porch.

Step One:Hi my name is Rob, I have a problem, I am a bowaholic.

Step two: Take her out of the box and look her over, get a feel for her and pull her back.

Step 3: Downstairs I go (into my make ship shop until I finish the basement) to tinker.

Placed her in the vise and installed a Limbdriver rest. Break out the EZE Eye laser and set center shot. Grab and ACC and my levels and set her just nock high of level (single cam). Perfect.

Install Viper Predator Pro MT sight. (of course).

Install Diamond Wildthing stabilizer.

Tie on nock sets.

Tie one side of loop material. (black).

Put her into the Bowmender and press her slightly to install the TruPeep

Remove her from the Bowmender, pull her back and set peep to desired height.

Tie in Peep

Tie other end of loop, pull super tight and set to align peep.

Dial in sight approximations.

Grab ACC 381 grains, send it through the chronograph. (282 fps) 70 lbs, 29" draw.

Back up to end of basement, sight her in for 17 yards until tomorrow.

Stacked arrows, busted a nock.

Take Picture (Man Law), Hi I'm Rob, I'm a Bowaholic.

2008 Black Ice.

Thanx for sharing Rob. My name is Josh and I'm a bowaholic too . . .only I rely onsome pimply faced kid at the local "pro shop" who probably knows alot less thanI do when it comes to setting up a new bow. It is both painfull. . ..and embarassing . . .so I was thinking maybe on my next bow, we could meet somewhere along the OH/PA border?? [8D]

Is it considered cheating for me to look at another? She's a hottie Rob, you da man! So you shoot in your basement also huh? It's funny but my basement legnth is the same as yours! I had to break an arrow yesterday because it has a crack in it from getting hit by my others. That's the only problem with the Black Ice!

Awesome brother, AWESOME!
