Tom has really a lot of problems with bows,LOL,but I am sane I have just 90 so I can consider my self a almost one bow man!
Well the problem is that every bow is really different from the other with so many stunning woods and combinations.Our bows have a soul,the compounds are just machines.Our bows are piece of art,like a cabinet maker piece of fourniture.We shoot bow that are 50 years old ,not so with the compound they become obsolete after 2 years.

Not that I was ever on the wagon but this past week I really and I mean really fell off it with buying: Shrew Chameleon, Thunderhorn 3pc w/2sets of limbs, 12" A&H 58" 3pc, Centaur triple carbon, Robertson 3pc longbow and a Black Canyon 3pc longbow. I'll have to wait for the Robertson and Black Canyon but the other three are on the way. "I've got a major problem." I like to make traditional archery harder than it really is by shooting a new bow every month or maybe even every week.

For some reason my wife can't understand that like guns, bottles of whisky and fishing rods, you can't have too many bows!

My name is Thomas, I'm a bowoholic... this is made worse by the fact someone(who shall remain nameless) got me started building them.  I am down to 5 shooters and two in the works in my shop.

I'm running out of places to hide bows from my wife because the usual hiding places are full of fishing rods :-(

I hope my wife doesn't ever find out what I have actually spent on bows, or hunts for that matter. Thank God for slush funds. I try to pay cash for everything like trips to Walmart for the fam, or dinner. It's amazing how much cash you can rat-hole away by pocketing the change  :)

I currently have 4 bows and 2 on order. I need some type of counseling or something...

One of the best sayings I've heard is "I hope if some happens to me my wife doesn't sell my bows for what I told her I paid for them"

I really needed this thread. I was starting to feel guilty and that I was the only one with a problem.

Whew! Glad to know I am part of such a distiguished club.

I have heard the expression, "Fear the Man with only one bow".

My expression is, "Fear the wife when she sees how many bows I have".
