Trouble at Compton's

[Blackhawk]

..."Trouble at Compton's"...if I ever get to go, I'm afraid that when I return, it's..."Trouble at Home."    

I want to kick myself everytime I think of the T-stick Mag that I sold.  

[Dutchman]

Well written. I not only enjoyed reading it, I identified with every word!

Enjoy the new bow!

Had the same thing happen to me at the Texas Longbow State Championships in Ft. Worth over Memorial Day. Jim Belcher (Belcher Bows) was the dealer. Before I knew it Jim had my money and was on his way back to Michigan. Left me with a beautiful Belcher Longhorn Elite, 53@28, 62 inches long. Shoots like a dream. Gotta do something about those bowyers who take advantage of our addictions.

I'm really afraid of what your demons might lead me to do at Denton Hill  :rolleyes: . Though it would be safe to say the trouble will be found at home   .

[swampbuck]

LOL If ya don't wanna hafta fight those inner demon's than it's best to go with an empty wallet hahahahahahaha

I may have a Dakota on the trading blanket at Denton  wonder if she'll turn into another or maybe just come back home with me

Congrads on your new toy and good luck with that addiction

Waiting on an all black 58" mag my own self.  


I knew there was a reason I didn't go to Comptons!

Mojostick,

HA HA HA, the demons got you and not me!       This time at least.

Well on the new bow that is. I still found a way to spend tooooooooooooooooo much. I was there when you bought it and what a sweet bow folks. If you like Osage, you'll love This one. Jim makes a very fine product. He even had a recurve guy like me thinking after I shot one of his long bows.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been there, done same. I used to have that problem at the TBM Trad Expo West, the only major trad event within affordable travel reach of me out here in the wide West ... bought two fine bows there in two years, both on impulse and with no regrets still today. So, tragic as it is that the Expo West is no more, it sure saves me some money, as by then I had a habit! Not to mention all the arrow shafts, leather goods, raw wood for selfbows, Helle knives, etc. ... it's our duty, I believe, to support all the Ma and Pa operations we can, since they are the heart of the post-wheelie Trad Archery and Bowhunting Remarkable Rebound (which would not have come about, lest we forget, were it not for TBM). Do as I do and explain to yourself and your wife, that it's a noble contribution to a great cause!    Dave

"feel free to shoot it all you want".

Yep, those famous words got me too. We have 4  of Jim's bows hangin on the rack. 2 for me, including my newest the infamous Arrow Inlay beauty, 1 for my son and 1 for my wife. My youngset son has a couple of years to wait yet.

Jim's as good as they get. Great bowyer, great all around guy.

I know how it happens, I came home from Mich. with 2 bows, a used Great Plains and a Drayd glass bow blank. It's happens!!!! Have fun with your new bow.

[Mojostick]

Yeah 2-Big, Jim carved me up pretty good. LOL
Luckily for me, it was raining when I bought the bow and it looked like some of the vendors were packing some things up, so I B-lined it out of there as soon as I made the purchase. It'd have been easy to drop another couple hundred real quick.

[Rich LaBombard]

Great story, great comments on this thread!

[buckster]

Nice thread and I am sure that that is one great shooter.

[TomK]

I don't even question the demons any more... I just keep my mouth shut and do whatever the hell they tell me to do.  Sometimes I can hear them in the background... laughing at me.  Best of luck with the new bow!
