Can't believe it's been 5yrs!!!
« on: October 06, 2010, 06:31:00 PM »
Just noticed that next month I will have hang out here for 5 YEARS! Well I guess it's better than hanging out in pool halls...     :biglaugh:    I guess when you're having fun time flies.

Your giving me something to strive for.

Let's see...5yrs and how many bows? No don't want to think about that.... But I do want to thank everyone who has taught me more about trad archery and bowhunting. Those who have shared something that has helped me in my arrow making, bow building, trading things, selling bows, kidding each other and other fun stuff! Thanks!

That stuff happens more and more as you get older.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Does the bow buying addiction start after the second or third year. I need to plan for this like my retirement.   :laughing:    :laughing:

The addiction comes on folks differently I've noticed. For me it was a gradual thing. As I learned to appreciate finer and finer bows and could shoot better it just kind of snowballed! So watch out!

Killy,

Are you speaking from experience?  Or are those words of wisdom you heard at your grandfathers knee?    ;)    :)
