Who searches 2017 Trad Bows First?
« on: January 05, 2017, 01:36:00 PM »
I have this terrible habit of logging in every day, and going directly to the 2017 Trad Bow section, to search the classifieds, altho, I certainly don't need any more bows. Its a habit, I guess and it gets me in trouble, cause, I say to myself, " Don't look now Ethel!", resist the trad bow section...."see if you can do it for a week, or a month"....NOPE. Not happening..

I gotta start switching it up, and head to Pow Wow first..at least I wont be spending any money   :laughing:

I do the same thing. It used to be my thinking that if the perfect* bow was for sale, for an acceptable price, I would buy it.  Now, I don't really want a new bow, I am happy with what I have now. I still check everyday and when I see that perfect* bow, I don't buy it, and pat myself on the back. That way, one day I'll feel as if I've earned a perfect* bow due to my past frugality and start the cycle over again.

Pow wow first for me.......then the classifieds. Not just bows.......shafts, wool, knives, quivers and anything else that for sale. Made a couple of good trades last year, always looking for something I don't need.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

I go to PowWow first but then to 2017 Classifieds, mostly just to look at pictures and just in case someone (LH) has lost their mind   :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I don't need any bows at the moment, but always looking for limbs for bows I have already, mostly due to dropping weight. Pronghorns right now.

PowWow first for me then I hit the classifieds.
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

I never look at the classified, Scott calls me and lets me know what's for sale, it does get expensive.

Powwow first for me , then the classifieds.  I just got a new Caribow this fall, so I'm not in the market for any bows, but can't resist looking. I go through all the classifieds though, bought some broadheads last week.   :bigsmyl:

I go to the Classifieds first, mostly to window shop. I missed two Toelke Whips which are on my list and hoping for another Robertson Peregrine or Mystical pop up in the #50 range, but those might be wishful thinking...

I use to could.
Cain't no more.

I did not renew my tradgang contributor membership and I am hoping it will save me a whole bunch of money.

Now if I could just quit the classifieds on the other sites I would be in good shape!
