The addiction has started.....
« on: January 30, 2009, 11:20:00 PM »
I find myself perusing the classified section waaaayyyy to much now. Went from not shooting a bow for over 28 years to now owning a Martin X150 and a Southern Draw longbow I purchased from slayer1. Just got it today.
Great guy, included a bow sock I wasn't expecting with the bow. Thanks Scott. Love the bow.
Now I find myself looking over just about every RH longbow listed.

Who was it warned me I may be needing a spare room for my gear?

You've got the early symptoms. You should seek treatment soon! I have found the only way to treat it is by adding another bow to the collection or building arrows or a quiver......  ;)

Nope, I'm known as the "enabler".  I hope to see the quiver completed by Sunday morning. LOL

I know exactly what you mean I started with one bow and a few arrows just to try it out and see what all the fuss is all about. Next I needed a few more arrows so I didnt have to walk to the target so often. Then I needed a backup bow in case something happened to the first one. Then I needed one that was shorter so I could hunt from a ground blind. Then I needed a few more arrows and a new glove and a new arm guard and some of these broadheads and some of those broadheads and some more arrows and a new fletcher and feathers and some more arrows and a feather chopper and a feather grinder ..................

My friend "there is a fine line between hobby and mental illness"

I fear that you may have crossed it.
