Why do we look?
« on: March 28, 2008, 04:50:00 PM »
Hello. I'm JL and I'm a bow-a-holic...

I really am a blessed man. I have a rack full of quality bows and even a Blacktail Elite TD enroute as I type but I just can't stop checking the BOW CLASSIFIED section to see whats out there! It's addicting, I tell you! My wife told me the other day;

"Your just a Tradgang compulsive shopper..."

  :eek:  I think she is on to something here. Bless her for putting up with me and my buying/selling/trading habit.

I feel for you brother!  I can buy a new bow and be off the market for a good 24 hours, maybe.

It helps alleviate the horror of the bills the mail-carrier brings. If it wasn't for stuff coming Priority, I would like my Carrier much less. That's my story for today at least.

There are still two spots left on the bow racks that I made.  I just have to fill them.
My wife just doesn't see it that way, she thinks I should have built smaller racks.

We buy bows, they buy shoes.  just as much an addiction.  This of course is not directed at the ladies of our fine family.

Beware the symtoms-

It starts all innocent like. You think "I'll just cruise on over to the classified to see whats out there,just lookin" then everything goes dark and fuzzy. When you come back around, your wife is screaming something in your ear about needing baby diapers and food and "If you ever...". Your thinkin...what the heck!?! and then you see a new bow on the rack  :eek:   Holy Cow! How did that get there!?!    :confused:  

Trying to hide bow shipping boxes is another sign. We have adjusted pretty well to that one. My honey will even call me at work and say "You got yet another bow waiting for you at home..." all boring like.

Then you get the wild idea to split out of work early so you can shoot it before it gets dark! Counterproductive thinking mister! Your needing the $$$ from work to help pay for the bows that keep magicly showing up at your house for some reason!

If you ever considered getting a line of credit to cover your bow buying habit, seek imediate help. For goodness sake, don't come here for sensible advice. This place is loaded with folks worse off then you could ever imagine and they will just fill your head with ninja bow aquiring  ideas on how to feed your cravings and even show you pic's of their "bow rooms"! E gads!

I, too, have "accidently" won a bid on a bow when the previous one I bought was still in the mail.  But I found a cure for bow buying....called bow building.  Ever since I built my first longbow that turned out to be a suprisingly good shooter, a hardly shoot my store bought bows...and haven't bought another since.  Even thinking about selling some now since they are gathering dust.
