I love my montana longbow !

[toddster]

Well, few years back, I did almost same thing.  Except wife didn't give me the money, wink.  I shot a black widow, a striker, a great northern, tomahawk, etc....     I bought a Bear montana from a guy down on his luck and loved it.  I bowfish and have shot several deer with a shakespeare, which for me is probably the best recurve made.  Then for the money, I bought a Howard Hill "Redman", wow.  It is every bit as good as the Montana, and more forgiving and for a few bucks more well worth it.  Like already said Archery is a very personal sport.  there have been countless animals harvested with a 2nd hand bow.  Price does not always dictate quality.

Sounds like a plan.  "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

You did good

[frassettor]

If your happy thats all that matters! High price tags doesnt nessarly mean better quality

[Chester Thompson]

Congrats on the bow, and all of the additional stuff that you were able to get because of it.

Thats a very nice wife you have there and I like the way you think. Best of luck to you with your choice of bows ....

[razorsharptokill]

That is why I started building my own bows. I wanted a nice custom recurve but knew I'd never be able to justify spending a months pay on one.

Now I only shoot my own bows and have some money left over for other hunting needs. I think it was a good choice for you.
