I've been lucky several times and able to buy something only minutes after it was posted.  You have to be quick!  If you have ever typed "I'll take it" without seeing any photos, or having any correspondence at all, you my be an addict.

We are just searching for that one special bow that will fit us like a glove. But when we find it were not convinced that this is the one because we know that there is another one out there that will fit us even better!! LOL!!  :rolleyes:  Sure is lots of fun though is'nt it.

If your wife does weekly bow counts to monitor your activity,you may be a bow addict.
If your basement is filled with empty shipping boxes ,you may be a bow addict.
If your email box is filled with UPS tracking #'s....well

Life is short,enjoy it while were here.
 I have a handle on my addiction,but do have my weak moments.Now if I can just find that Saluki or RER IN the right lenght and poundage all will be well in the world.

I realized that they are all beautiful. And I can't own them all. But, the ones I do have are more than aesthetically beautiful they carry within them a lifetime and years of memories. And that makes them even more special than the ones I don't own.

I have a Sentman Razorback being made as we speak, should be here mid April....
    And Killy calm down EF said he did not intend to offend any of the ladys here, So you not included, your one of the guys....

[Mike Burch]

I know exactly what you mean!

I've slowed down considerably in the last few months, but I feel the bug biting again.      :D  

I'm constantly wanting to try something I've never shot before. I guess I need to go to one of the big traditional shoots, but I'm afaid I'll have to get a second morgage after I leave.

A new bow, well its just plain MAGIC!

[Walt Francis]

I cured my addiction (temporarily) after developing shoulder problems, now I look and plan on which bows I will need after it gets better.  Most likely the new ones will be either lower poundage or left handed.  For all you addicts, keep your eyes open, there might be a few more bows appearing at your favorite location.

Tim, I wondering how you were doing, good to see you back.

BECAUSE IT'S FUN!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I think this pretty much sum's it up;

 

Blacktail Elite TD 62",55@28". Bacote/cocobola riser, bamboo/cocobola wedge/red elm veneer limbs. I had a Blacktail TD a few years back and foolishly let it go. It was one of those bows that I regreted selling/trading off. This particular TD is a great find for me. And guess where I found it? You got it, the classified section. This is one sweet bow that will keep a spot on my rack and I won't repeat the same mistake again!

I just finished painting my new bow rack today with antique paint. When I got it finished to bring in the house I told my wife : "Look babe, there is going to be an empty peg, that won't look right on the wall". She didn't say alot except "maybe you can hang a flyrod on it".
Not a chance, Black Widow is getting an order form VERY soon for a new longbow. I told her I needed it,my newest bow (Tomahawk Diamond Desert Fox)is already 3 weeks old!
Yes, I am a bowaholic and have only given up on compounds since last August and the new Black Widow will be trad bow #4.
HELP!

Just sold a Cheyenne...just ordered a Foley...and thinking about selling a Fedora and a Foley...  I keep telling myself I have found the best bow for me in the Foley's but those Silvertips just draw so smooth...  

[Bowtie]

As I type this, I look out of the corner of my eye at 6 beautiful bows hanging on the wall.  I'm happy, don't need anymore.  Heck, I can only shoot one at a time anyway....... But, guess what? I'll check out the classifieds after I leave PowWow.  lol

[BD]

I try to sell at least one for every 2 that I buy and never have more than 6 (preferably 4-5). Still waiting for my new Rose Oak, have a thermal for sale in the classifieds, and planning on ordering a Foley or an Assenheimer in the next few weeks.

[Tom]

Just picked up a 1 piece Border XP 10 carbon in the classifieds, can't say I could be happier. Am shooting its first 3d in about 45 minutes. I now have 2 recurves and 2 hybrids, and three that I keep for others to try if they show interest in stick bows. Am I addicted-you betcha!!

[Killdeer]

That makes two Borders, right, Tom?
I gotta sell some of these...

There are so many I haven't tried!    
Killdeer~soon to be Caretaker of The Magic Bow!     :D    

[larry]

the way I see it is we have two separate addictions going on here...those that buy AND sell, thus doing their part to support the economy....and those that only buy and then horde them all for themselves!!

Killy did I just read that you're going to sell me your Morrison riser??  

[bentpole]

Well here's my problem..The wife says I'm an extremist because of my zodiac sign[scorpio]. Everything that I do I do to the MAX. That included drinking up to a year and a half ago. So when it comes to bows I look at a Pretty one and say to myself Self you gotta' shoot one of them.So if I'm fortunate enough the bowyer has a try before you buy bow or you have a Bud willing to send you one to try.Most times I order an in stock bow the bowyer has kickin' around. If I like it I keep it. Or I sell it and order another one similar with my "specs" . The classifieds are a killer too. Look at a bow and buy it, try it sell it, order another AHHH. The way I look at it is this... As long as I don't take any Bucks away from he family funds, between the little bit of scrap money and the amount I get for the old bow I just sold it's still a lot cheaper than all the money I spent on drinkin' and have nothing to show for.Plus I'm sort of gettin' a bow education. I haven't reached the plateau of some with the real high priced ones yet. That will come when the kids are done with college.I guess I have that blue collar worker attitude I would rather at this time have a couple of decent 500-600 dollar ones than one real fancy special expensive one. I'd probably be afraid to take her out in the woods anyway.
