RE: Step one: Admit you have a Problem (Man Law within)
You have a what I like to call bowmance going on my friend.
ORIGINAL: Rob/PA Bowyer
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.

I must have missed some of those comments as I was reading through but noticed the responses here on the last page.
For what it is worth I actually bought/ownedmore bows each year before I was on staff.
However, after Rob's constant naggin' about getting a Black Ice I went ahead and ordered another one myself.
...and straightfrom the local shop to boot. She is sittin' in the basement as I type this. Trout fishing had me a little preoccupied this weekend.
I cannot wait to set her up this week and take her out for spring turkey this year.

Here she is all set up and ready for gobblin action.
Notice the MeanV, highly recommended.
