Thanks for all the well wishes on the weight loss…I still count points everyday and plan on running this year to help the process.  

I’m going to try to give the bow to him this week or weekend but I’m not sure when, we’re both so busy that it’s hard to make the hour journey.  Funny distance wise it isn’t that far but there’s no easy way to get up there to where he lives.

Hopefully he’ll have it soon and be ready for deer season this fall.

Well it's finally in his hands now...wow does it shoot nice.

   

I think he likes it:
   

I have wanted to shoot an arrow or two but knew he should be the one to take the first shot so I waited, it does shoot very nice though.

It is smooth to say the least!  JD it's AWESOME!!!
