I Just cannot bring myself to do it
« on: January 16, 2008, 04:52:00 PM »
I have this disease like so many of us have. I just love bows, the beautiful wood and combination’s of them. The graceful lines and curves, weather it be a longbow or recurve. Most all delight my eye. I have become very good a buying them. I went 20 years with one recurve bought new. Then this disease set in called desire, with the desire came buying. I have become fairly efficient at the buying part. It’s the parting with that is my downfall. Once I have them, I just can’t bring myself to sell one. What’s one to do? I guess I will have to throw in the towel, and be labeled collector\\shooter.

I hear you Brent. Today I won a Martin Dreamcatcher on *-***. Can't wait to shoot it.
Also getting 2 Ben Pearson Mustangs soon, so my stock is increasing as well.
One thing I know; it's a nice and healthy (yet costly) desease.

I bought my fisrt bowwhen I was sixteen. The next year I bought another bow. And this past year I bought 3 bows. And in 2008 I've already bought one. This isn't counting all the ones I've made. Got to love bows and like the saying goes beware of the man with one bow he probably knows how to use it and fear the man with 10 bows becuase he might know how to shoot them all at once.-Scott   :archer:  
Yes I just made up that saying

I'm here to tell ya, there is no cure for this disease.  Just when I get a bow that I say will never be sold, something happens and poof...it's gone.  I've resigned to the fact it is terminal. No cure whatsoever.

Gotta go.  I need to look again at the classified's.  Only my 4th time today...

Good luck.

Hi Brian,

I just repeated what *-*** comes up with when you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction. You can try it and telling your wife that you "won" a bow and see what happens LOL.   :thumbsup:   )

I know how you feel. I did bring myself to sell a few of the bows that were made for me several years ago, they were collecting dust and i really didn't need them.

I have to many still and dangit, i ordered me a Brown recluse the other day! (grin)  :bigsmyl:    :jumper:

Any one see the t-hawk or the thunderstick in the classifieds. I guess this is like bringing donuts to a weight watchers convention  :biglaugh:  -Scott
