you are lost.
the only thing that might help is to blame somebody else.
maybe you try it this way.

you:honey?
she:........
you:honey,can we talk about these archerythingy?
she:ok,what do you want?
you:i know i have a problem and i was looking for help.i went ot the doc a few weeks befor and he send me to psychologist who should work with me to solve my problems.
she:........are you kidding?
you:no way,the psychologist was from harvard,a real good doc.i have spoe to him a few times and somehow he really helped me.
she: he helped you?in which way did he help you?
you:well.....somehow...we...i mean he......
must i say this?
she:yes.
you:there is nothing wrong with trad archery he told me.
she: what?
you:he was very kind with me and told me his secret.
she:what kind of secret?
you:go for a DAS bow,one of the best bows for the money you can get.thats why i have this bow.
it was the docs fault.
she:.......   :mad:

.blaming the doc didnt turn out to be a good idea.
what about your dad?
since you are on your own with this problem,blame him.
maybe like this.

a few weeks later......
you:honey?
she:what?
can we talk about this archerythingy again please?
she:but no BS this time.
you:ok i want to tell you the truth.
she:omg,you have bin to the stripclub.
you:no no,thats not what i want to say.
its about dad.
she:dad?
you:yes it is his fault that i have this bows.
she:so he forced you to buy this stuff behind my back?
you:no.liste i will tell you a story.


when i was a litle kisd of 8 years my father took me with him for my first bowhunt.
that was very exceting for a kid of my age.
i was very proud of my bow.
it was a selfmade haselnutstick.
after a while my fater turned aroun to me and said.
father:son?
you:yes,dad?
father:if you ever gona be a good bowhunter look for somthing better then this haselnutstick.
you:ok dad when im as big as you im gona buy me a bow as good as yours.ok dad?
father:good boy.but one warning tho.if you are married at that time,dont tell you wife the price of that bow.ok?
you:ok dad.
.............
you:dad,i have a question.
father:yes son.
you:didnt you tell me NOT to lie when im married?
father:yes....but.... you know...you see......
with trad archery.....you better lie.
you:realy?
father:yes,its better,i know what im talking about.
you:ok dad i trust you in that.
father:but one warning,dont get caught by your wife,you will be in big trouble.
so take good precautions not to get caught.
you:ok dad.
father:and dont ask me for help,your mom will get aware of it,and then i will have a talk with her.
about my bows.
you:ok dad.

back to present.
you:now you know everything about my secret.
its dads fault.
she:.....
gets up,calls your mom,mom is having a talk with dad,about his bows.
she is angry with you anyway.
father is angry because the secret is not a secret anymore.
mom is angry because you didnt tell it to her earlyer.
you are a lost and lonesome stranger and nobody wants to talk with you anymore.

honestly the only thing you can do is,go to your wife abd surrender.
godd luck.
i hope nobody minds the tipos,but im not a native englishspeaker,
greetings shantam
bowbuilding is fun

Shantam, that is awesome.....  Well I took some advice,  I blamed it on the Wensels...  I said honey look at these guys, look at how happy they are.... don't you want me to be happy???? the only way I can be happy is to try and be like THEM I wear the best camo- shoot the best arrows and use the best broadheads...  I still can't eat pecan pie though "too rich"...

she didn't buy it. she took my debit card from me , maybe I do spend too much.........

Wonder what kinda new stuff David has over at DAS!

by the way I'm not aloud to use the computer at home.... but I have one at WORK and I'm here 14hrs a day 6 days a week!!!!!!

coyote tim, you need to start doing the yard sale thing as well as the trading post and maybe even ebay. by every cheap bow you can get you hands on. by cheap i mean like $5. at a yard sale. once you have collected about 15-20 of them you make yourslef a bow rack that will hold them all and have it out where she can see it. as you buy new custom bows you remove one of the cheap filler bows and dontate it to comptons or PBS for their youth stuff. she will never notice the difference if you display them right and don't make a big deal out of them. then you can brag on yourself and say something like, "honey, bought a new bow today", "at a yard sale", "got it for $15." then you hand her a couple of twenties and tell her to go get her nails done. she will be bragging on you.

So lets see if I got this straight, you are working 14 hours a day, 6 days a week to support your family and "Mama" has a problem with a little money spent on archery tackle?   :rolleyes:

And it will just happen to be a wirehaired dachshund with excellent bloodtrailing bloodlines, right? And she will be responsible for feeding, sheltering, vetting, training it in the niceties of indoor living, having its toes trimmed and the like, right?  :confused:   :rolleyes:

Tim, walk with caution. Bying her a bow and all the access. to spend time works for a while. But the disease will spread and you will soon find her up front as the shooter and you are the caller,skinner,packer,butcherand then the real sting. Your favorite mount moved and replaced by hers,,,lol You'll find yourself in the archery shop bying lots of new stuff that you can't use......lol..
 When friends come over and start admireing the nice mounts on the wall. Guess who's story is told..And to top it all off You don't dare tell her she's addicted.
 Oh ya BTW when that bigg bull is in front of you and for some reason didn't go in front of your wife,,,,,don't shoot,,,

Not that I'm an authority on marriage or how to have a successfull, fullfilling one. Mine lasted a little longer than the reception. My advice would be, in your most sincere voice and mannerisms, tell her you were wrong and she is correct and from now on you will try to improve. And by all means don't show her this thread.

I feel for you on this one buddy.  One thing that works for me is that I tell her that I could be at the bar drinkin'w/ my buddies, but I gave that up to shoot more and be with my girls.  It also helps that I'm the working parent, and I do more than my hare of household chores(clean up after kids, my own laundry, dishes a few times a week).  Complete honesty goes a long way, too. The wife don't complain much about my addiction anymore. If you work 14 hours a day and she can't cope with you buying archery gear, maybe you need to take HER to Dr.  Phil! lol.  good luck  JW
