It started with a kid needing a bow and that's how it ended...
 

Most of the veterans of the forum know that I recieved a bow from Ross. When the bow was promised to me, it was because I needed a bow, and didn't really have much money to buy one. I was saving for one, but I didn't have one at the time. Angie Ross, insisted on giving me a LH Cardiac. I of course agreed. This was in February of '07.

I waited for months on the bow. During my wait period, I was fortunate enough to find a job. A dream job for me, I was on cloud nine and I'm still fortunate enough to still be working there.

I finally recieved my bow in late January of this year. I shot it indoors for a few weeks and set it aside. In these past few months, I've become consumed in target archery. I've been shooting a PSE Shark X.

I had been thinking of a way to put the Cardiac to better use. I didn't quiet feel right keeping the bow, because circumstances has definately changed since 2 February's ago. Then, one day while I was at work, I met this kid that is 2 years younger than I am and was shooting an OLDD PSE Brute Force. Draw length specific cams set at 29", and his draw lenght isn't over 27". He's a great kid, humble, and just loves to shoot and hunt, not to mention he's left handed like me. Then it hit me last week. I knew what I was going to do with the Cardiac. I told the kid that I wanted to trade my bow for his. His jaw hit the floor. I did what it took to make the bow fit him, I got the correct modules. Now he's one happy camper and I feel better about myself.

After I caught all kinds of grief over the situation, I thought I would let you guys know that I found a good way to settle the situation. :)
