Title: Had Tears In My Eyes Today
Post by: Roy from Pa on June 25, 2012, 07:31:00 PM

Pulled in the driveway after work today, and there was this long white tube leaning up against the basement door. I already knew what was inside it, but when I opened it up, I "could" not believe just how awesome this bow was. I seen pictures of her, but the pictures do not do her justice!

I opened it on the back patio, then took her inside to show my wife. She said WOW.. As she was holding it, I started to get a few tears in my eyes. She noticed and said are you ok? I said yes I am fine. She then said well what's wrong with you. I started to smile and said there's nothing wrong with me. Then it hit her. Sometimes Women just don't understand us Bow Hunters / Bowyers!

Kenny my friend, I can not put into words how happy I am with this Bow. It is awesome, and the grip is perfect! You did a fantastic job. Thank you so much, Roy

Well the rib felt good enough to shoot her today, for the first time ever:) Made a feather rest for her, put on Beaver Silencers, and put on adjustable string nocks. She is fast, quiet, smooth, zero hand shock, accurate, and the weight is perfect. I am very pleased with her, Kenny Ole Boy:) Thanks again, Roy

Oh my, Roy, what great strides in communication! I am surprised that your wife didn't get it. Perhaps you could exaggerate, i.e., dab at your eyes, sniffle a little, and squeak out, "It's just that I'm so happy !"
Immediately follow up with "happy sobs."*

And good reason, too!
