Skullz camo or Satin Black finishes are also available.Īnother Bow Madness feature comes in the form of two contoured rubber side panels that, together with the machined riser handle, make up PSE's popular B.E.S.T. Riser and limbs are film dipped in Mossy Oak's Treestand camo pattern. The lack of material on this sleek riser helps keep the overall mass weight of the bow at just 3.5 pounds. This riser is only slightly reflexed in geometry, allowing it to demonstrate stability and forgiveness more akin to a straight riser than a highly reflexed configuration. First is the fully CNC machined aluminum riser. The Bow Madness has many more noteworthy features. The limbs are highly pre-loaded, which not only gives them PSE's signature curled limb but also achieves performance goals. PSE's Bow Madness has an eye-catching profile with its nearly straight riser and ultra-short 10€‰½-inch limbs. It doesn't end there, as the draw stop can be moved to one of two positions representing 65- or 80-percent letoff. Next, you can further fine-tune your draw length with a set of string posts on the main cam body that offer approximately half an inch of additional adjustment at each draw length. No bow press is needed for these adjustments. The Madness single cam can be altered in several ways to set the draw length and letoff right where we want them.įirst, there is a choice between two inner cams, which together cover a draw length range from 25-30 inches, in one-inch increments. That process will be addressed in a future blog.PSE's lead engineer, David Kronengold, and his team know the value adjustability offers bowhunters and have designed the Bow Madness cam system with that in mind. There is still a need to walk back or paper tune so you can fine-tune the center shot location to your release form. Since the diameter of the space between the stretched rubber band is the same as the arrow you will be using, you will find the exact center shot.

Get two Allen wrenches that will fit the limb bolts of your bow.Or, cut sections of an arrow that is the same diameter of the arrow you will be using. Find two 1-inch sections of tubing that is the same diameter as your arrows.Here is one easy way to find the center shot (or at least get close until you can fine-tune while paper or walk back tuning later on): Others just eyeball it and make adjustments when they paper tune later in the bow tuning process. Some archers use laser tools or bow squares to line up the nocking point and arrow rest. There are numerous ways to find the center shot. A poorly aligned center shot will cause an arrow to fish-tail as it is launched from the bowstring. The center shot relates to the perfect alignment of the arrow rest to the bowstring’s nocking point.
