Why I hate Columbus Day
« on: October 10, 2011, 12:23:00 PM »
I got an email from Chad Francis last week. My Lost Creek bow was nearly done and would ship out Monday (today).

I haven't even seen pictures yet, but Chad said it came in at 44#. I asked for 42 to 48, so I'm all excited and can't concentrate on balancing the checkbook, or much of anything else.

Been hoping for maybe a Wednesday delivery; Thursday at the latest. I woke up this morning and realized it definitely would not mail out today. BUMMER!

I'm in the boat with you.   Waiting on my BigJim Buffalo bow, and the closed PO today just adds another day to the wait!

Hey...when you're THAT close, you'll likely not get a lot of sympathy around here with guys waiting half to full year or more!   :rolleyes:  

Read here years ago, where someone said they'd not order a bow with a long wait cause at their age, "...they don't even buy green bananas anymore!"  :)  I think I'm now at a point where I "resemble that comment."

Go find the worst project you hate the most and start to tackle that... then the wait won't seem so bad!  :)

Um, if you shoot each one of your 8 bows you already have, one a day, you won't even get through them all  :coffee:

I went out this morning and when I got back I had a pressent waiting. Opened her up took it out back and fired a few off. Ok I got another bow but now comes the work to tune her up and quiet it down.

Waiting is just part of it all in a days work.
