I would never use the "sneak tactic" with my wife. That's why I ordered my next bow from Ron last week so it's "on the books" before I get married this May. (It's JC's fault too, since I'm getting a takedown with the same wood combinations he got because I couldn't stand not having one like that)   ;)  

In the accounting world, there's pre-marital assets and of course pre-marital bow payment liabilities.   :rolleyes:

Ray, since you ordered the bow BEFORE you got married but won't receive it until AFTER you're married, it will fall under the category of "Community Property"   :scared:  

   
Quote
Community property is a marital property regime that originated in civil law jurisdictions, and is now also found in some common law jurisdictions.

In a community property jurisdiction, most property acquired during the marriage (except for gifts or inheritances) is owned jointly by both spouses and is divided upon divorce, annulment or death. Joint ownership is automatically presumed by law in the absence of specific evidence that would point to a contrary conclusion for a particular piece of property. The community property system is usually justified by the idea that such joint ownership recognizes the theoretically equal contributions of both spouses to the creation and operation of the family unit.

Ron,

This time I'm getting it right, so like you and Nancy, we'll have the "community property" for a long, long time.   :thumbsup:

It's a two piece bow, isn't it?  A piece for you and a piece for her.  I don't see the problem.

Come on Ray.  A properly executed "Sneak Bow" aquisition is one of the great joys of marriage!  :knothead:    :archer:

Tim,

Yup, my hat's off to the sneak bow crew and pulling off a proper sneak. Ron's a master of the sneak knife; he's got so many that a new one doesn't even register with Nancy anymore (oops, I wonder if she's registered?).

Imagine this though, a woman who loves you so much, she would do the sneaking to get you a special bow as a surprise.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Ray,

  :thumbsup:

No wait... Don't.  I could get a dozen bows on the sneak cheaper than attorney fees!      :biglaugh:

Nakohe - the bow sneak that I am about to share with you has never failed. Have the bow delivered to a friend, preferably one your wife does not know well. Have this friend call your home at a time when your wife will be able to answer the phone. Friend asks if you are home and will be there for a few minutes. She says yes. He says rather cryptically, I will be right over. When he arrives she will be curious and will meet him at the door. He has something wrapped in a blanket. He hands it to you and says that he needs you to keep it for him for awhile - family trouble, IRS trouble, burglars in the neighborhood... but he would feel better if you kept it safe for him. He leaves.
You and the wife open the package and there it is. If your name is on the bow, you are cooked, but if not, your in. FYI, I still have a "good friend's" Belgian Browning Sweet 16 that has been safe at my place for 8 years.

I mastered the "shotgun sneak" years ago, it's so simple:

Leave in the morning with an EMPTY gun case, preferably a hard one so that she cannot tell it is empty.Make a show of hauling the case out of the house...she will ask whats going on...you say "I'm working on a trade with a guy" or "I need to have a gunsmith look at this double barrel".

Return in the evening with a FULL guncase, and your in!

The sneak I use when I order a new bow is simple as well.  I have the bow delivered to my place of work.  I live close enough that I leave work a couple minuets early so I can beat my wife home.  Then I just walk in and put the bow in the basement with the rest of them.  The thing I have not figured out yet is when we have our first kid in September how I am going to get it past her then.  I also got cooked when I came home from Kalamazoo with my new Shrew.  She was not a happy camper that weekend.

Roger, your bow shot great in league last night. I told Steve O. to ignore the little scratch on the lower limb where the guy next to me nocked it over and dropped his field point arrow straight down on it. The paste wax really made most of it disappear. Really.   ;)
