Why would you sell your go to bow!!!
« on: February 13, 2010, 07:11:00 PM »
I have read a LOT of post on here where people have sold a bow that made them sick after they sold it.

I just sold a ACS that i could shoot lights out because i think i will like there 16in riser better than there 14in.

Tell me why you would sell a bow that you were deadly with out to a comfortable hunting distance.

i was one of those who sold a bow that made me sick and regrettful,but today i got it back after about 2 years. for me it was that i just wanted something new,but later realizing i had made a huge mistake and i should have never done it.everyone goes through phases.it's only natural.

Mood swing?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-BOW in one hand-ARROWS in the other-Body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming-WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!

I'd never sell my go to bow unless it somehow becomes my has been bow.  I'm a firm believer in the addage, "Don't leave hold of what you got until you got ahold of something else," or something like that.

I sold one (my first PSA Widow) in a "moment of weakness"... To buy another Black Widow..

I did try to buy it back later but no love for me.. LOL

Joe, I don't think I'd ever get rid of my go to bow...again.  I believe I'd just add rather than subtract.  I got rid of a longbow once I liked and I don't think I want to go thru that again.
