Saying goodbye to the classifieds
« on: January 08, 2009, 09:15:00 PM »
:(    :(    :(   I hate saying goodbye but...I have a couple bows I have decided to stick with. Both made by Robertson. I gotta do it so I can settle in for accuracy and this economy aint helpin much either. So in one way I'm   :)   and another I'm   :(  . So if you guys see me on there trying to buy somethin dont sell it to me man. Help a fella out. I'm a recovering bow-a-holic man.

LOL!!! I thought I kicked the habit by using the same bow for a whole season.  :biglaugh:   If circumstances were different I'd be on bow #6 since last June!!
Just one more step please!

I hear ya. I have set a limit of 3 shooters for me. No way I have time to shoot any more than that. Now in order get a new bow, I have to sell one first and I just can't bring myself to sell any of the 3 I have(BW PSAII,Quinn Stallion,JK Kanati).

I have recently started trying to build my first bow however, those don't count  :D

I feel your pain, listed one to sell and wound up buying three. Sold the limbs from one so I could justify the Mailman banging on the door over the last week with my wife. Plan on selling a couple of more but everytime I try that I wind up with more bows than I started with!

Last year I hunted with 3 bows and killed 4 deer, (Dont own one of them now). This year I hunted with various bows and have missed 4 deer. One I shot at twice. I told myself, after reading several different threads where I saw someone post "fear the man with one bow" I have to do that. I got rid of everything but 2 and I let go of some fine bows...2 Firefly longbows   :(  , a Widow, and a Whisperstick recurve. Sticking with the Robertsons because they are the exact same length and weight. Different grips but easy to switch. One is a takedown too.

I'm not sure if there is a 12 step program for bow aholics. I just know that the cure is not easy. Good luck. Now, about that Black Widow you sold. I have a PMA-V (Ironwood) that I would let you have for a ..................  :banghead:

GOOD! one less sniper.    :biglaugh:

Seriously though, even though you settled one one bow (uhm) you still need ammo, and clothes, and quivers, and and and...

you won't be far away, and I'm willing to bet you'll just be stopping in to "look" once in a while.
