PSE has made quite an impact over the past several years with bows that push the engineering envelope on many fronts. Last year, they teamed up with the Drury brothers and introduced a "Dream Season" version of their popular X-Force bow platform.

That relationship continues this year, with PSE and Drury Outdoors coming together on a single-cam bow series that carries the name of the Drurys' TV show, "Bow Madness." Three bows comprise the series, including the Bow Madness, Bow Madness XL and Bow Madness XS. Each offers a different axle-to-axle length, brace height and IBO speed. All are available in a field-ready package or as a bare bow

In the middle of the pack, specification wise, is the new for 2009 Bow Madness. This bow features a slightly reflexed riser, high efficiency Madness single cam, pre-loaded X-Tech split limbs, B.E.S.T. grip with rubber side panels and Vibracheck Backstop string vibration dampener.

Sleek And Slim
The Bow Madness is built on a slightly reflexed riser machined from high-grade aluminum. A riser with little reflex offers more stability and forgiveness than a highly reflexed design. This riser, which plays a big part in the bow's extraordinarily low mass weight of 3.5 pounds, is also one of the sleekest I have seen out of PSE. It is thin throughout, flaring somewhat on the ends to meet the limb pockets.
