I still haven't paid the fee to view them and I know it has saved me hundreds of dollars at minimum. Didn't stop me from buying more bows though, just slowed me down quite a bit thankfully.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

I do not want to be cured, I enjoy it.  There are worse things, horses, racing, womanizing, alcohol, drugs, gambling etc.

The cure for the classifieds is to pick one primary bow to hunt with and one back up and then go practice shooting and GO HUNT.  I finally cured myself of wanting to buy/trade by doing exactly that.  I've come to believe 100% that most of us, myself formerly included, get addicted to going through lots of bows because we have so little time to actually go out and hunt due to family and job commitments.  It's much easier and less time consuming to sit in front of a computer screen and buy/sell bows and 'wish' to be out hunting than actually going out and doing it.  I've come to learn and believe that staying devoted to only a handful of bows I know and shoot well will lead me to be a better shot and a better hunter, and my bank account will thank me.  I'm now busy selling off all the chaff.  What you see in my sig is 'it' for a good while.

I agree on bring a lot better shot with one bow as nine world said . I have 2 widow's that are almost identical one is a back up. I am shooting better now than I have in a long time. But I guess it's boredom cause I also cruise the classifieds looking for "that" bow.   Crap I already have it, why am I looking ??  I have no idea.  Over the years I've spent way too much money buying bows only to sell them later.   I know sticking to one bow would and has really helped my shooting  but dang .... There are so many temptations.   I'm glad I stay broke or I would probably still be buying and selling bows and my shooting suffering and the wife wouldn't be happy at all

I look, but either I can't afford it, or I just haven't found it. Just looking for a nice longbow, 50@26, not reflex/deflex, just a nice D-profile longbow. I love seeing the different styles and woods on the bows, kinda like watching the ladies in their new spring outfits, or the ladies at the beach.

I figure it don't hurt to look. But then like I did yesterday you find one you cannot turn down and end up buying it.     :dunno:
