Ever Let One Get Away?
« on: August 27, 2013, 05:33:00 PM »
I was wondering if any of you have let a bow that you really wanted get away on the classifieds because you were waiting to see if it went down in price?  I really liked the wood and the weight was just right on a Wes Wallace Royal,and I messed around and someone else got it.

A hundred times, but I get over it. It was never meant to be. I stick with my Griffins these day and they take away the desire to look at other bows.

Not really. Just my opinion but most of the bows I have looked at on here seem to be priced pretty fairly. Although I guess I have seen a couple that were very nice but in my mind, expensive.

When I have seen one that is in my personal specs, and one that I want to try I have moved on them fairly quickly. The last one I bought was a Black tail and I remember thinking this one is not going to last much longer so I took it.

How much is a really good bow going to go down anyway? If I really want one, I don't want to miss out on it because I was wanted to save $25 or even $50 bucks.

I try to keep 500 hid in my man cave.I really gotta pump my brakes because I want to buy them all. I try to pick a bow I want an wait to see if one comes up on the classfides while I continue to save my money.If 6mo or a year goes buy an the bow I want dosenot show up I go buy it new.or place a WTB add.that is how I try to do it.

Yeah it's happened to me a couple of times. Fortunately, I tend to shoot higher poundage bows, and those don't get scooped up as quickly as the 40-55 pound bows do. Unfortunately, other that shoot my weight don't sell them as often. Low demand, but low supply.
