Brent...used to have it as bad as you but did find a cure....or at least a slowdown...it's called "retirement".  You sure enough have more free time but your funds don't keep up with all that extra freedom.  :help:

Brent, I've had it bad for a long time as well. I'm a fellow lefty and Chas (Stickhunter) from PA. and I have traded, bought, sold, traded back more bows than I can honestly remember. (yeah he's afflicted too, so add him to the list) not to mention the custom orders, **** purchases and on and on. I have always held out hope though that a particular bow would at some point captivate my attention long term. My wife would be laughing out loud right now if she saw that last sentence. (Anybody elses's wife just laugh when you try to tell them that you've acquired a keeper?) Well anyway, It's been quite a long time now, and I am finally semi-permanently attatched to a bow. I find it pretty hard to believe myself, but it has happened. I won't say what bow since that's not the point of the thread, but it's a pretty good feeling...finally.

Yep, I've got it also.  I keep telling my wife that I've just been trading lately and it doesn't cost us much.  Then she shows me where I have spent $200 last month on shipping!!!!

The only "cure" is to start making your own.

I'm the lucky one.... with a 32" draw, and a desire to keep the weight below 60# at 32", there isn't much available for me  :(  .  I have been able to keep myself to two new custom bows, and one pre-owned.......

I do envy some of you guys (actually stand in awe) who seem to switch bows as often as I change my socks.......  :scared:

Hey Brent, you know you can always start building bows...then you don't have to buy them.  Anyways, why buy them for $400 when you can make them for $2000    ;)  LOL  Actually, bow building can be even more addictive than bow buying...what's a guy to do.      ;)

In the last 12 months I have bought a Shrew, Tomohawk, GreatPlains LB and a SR Swift. Thank God there is a possible recession coming. Maybe I will forced into remission.

I can't even remember all the different makes of bows I have been thru. I sit down and try to name them all and just when I think I got all of them named, yep, another will pop up out of no where! Then try to pair how many bows of each make I have owned..it will give you a headache I tell you.

My buying has slowed big time since our daughter was born but now I have the vintage Kodiak bug bitin on me...

Brent,

I have the cure!! Found it few years back. Now for a nice fellow lefty like you I'll share the cure as it's clear you need help.

Ok here it goes, you dial 1-740-587-0368 and a real nice fellow called Bob will answer. Tell him your problem and give him your credit card#.

Tell him you want the best performing best looking bow he can make and it's that easy! Mr. Morrison will be very happy to help you and once it arrives you will be cured instantly. It's beauty will exceed all but that of your lovely wife and it will propel arras faster and straighter than any bow you have ever owned!!

All the others will seem like mere pieces of wood and become very easy to part with from that day forward. You will be cured for life and all for the sum of say $1200.00 bucks or so. With the price of healthcare south of the border this is a small drop in the bucket for being rid of such a disease. Your Welcome!!!!!! They don't call me Dr. Dave for no reason!

Hey Dr Dave...I'm trying the same cure as we speek!! Can't wait to get mine. I went through a lot of bows last year trying to find one I liked better than my Widows. Some were prettier, none I liked to shoot better though. I hope the new Morrison lives up to it's reputation.
