Addiction Can Be A Good Thing (W/Pictures)

Oh so sweet Bernie!!! Congrats to you!!!!

Bernie

Its a 12 step program with this new "Addiction" you have. Testing shows....there is no cure though. Constant practice will only make the situation worse. You will have a craving to shoot more!(LOL) You have completed your first step.(LOL)

I think you should show up at the 3-D shoots in a black suit....kinda Johnny Cash style. I think it would complement you and the bow.....and would keep the ladies swooning.

Glad your enjoying your new bow!!!!! I'm glad we teamed up with Lee Hoots to offer the Anneewakee Addiction. He's one heck of a bowyer and a fine fella. Lee and I will be under the big 20 foot tent at the state shoot this year with plenty of bows and quivers.

I feel the Addiction, John - LOL (I'll promise to keep working on the continuing "cure")

Come to think of it, I used to wear black a lot - jeans and/or dress trousers - maybe that's why the women always seemed to be "sleeping" around me - Nawwww    

(I think Rose got rid of all my black cloths though -   )

[smokin joe]

Bernie,
That is a great looking bow. Congrats.

[ber643]

It is sweet too joe vt - really spits those arrows out (is "spitting" an "oxymoron" to sweet? - LOL).  Also she calls me to practice like the Sirens of old used to call/sing the sailors to wreck on the rocks. Only difference is I'm supposed to go to practice, so she's a "Sweet Siren"  :D  

Thank you, smokin joe.

bernie, nice bow. I hate to tell you this but I've had her. She stayed with me for a week or more awhile back. Great shooting bow. Just already got one and could'nt justify the $ at this time. DB

Don't listen to that ole Batman. No body has owned your lady in black before. Shes not that type of girl.(LOL)

[ber643]

LOL - just breaks my heart, John, that a nice guy like Don (The Batman , a true hero after all) would slander  any  lady like that, especially The Lady of a good friend - I'm gonna tell Trish (his lovely wife, and another good friend) on him. She'll straighten him out in a hurry.    

[Hootsbow]

Bernie, Keep that ol batman away from her!!!! she is one of my daughters you know and i'm trusting you to take care of her!!  

[Bowhunter4life]

Very nice!  Congrats, and shoot it well!

[Wannabe1]

Bernie, wish I lived closer to ya. You could teach me how to put on those string silencers. I have such grief with those things!

Very nice looking bow too!      

[tradtusker]

thats a great looking bow!

[ber643]

Thanks guys. I spent some time yesterday evening just soothing her - in case the "talk" had traumatized her. I thought about singing her an old Irish lullaby but i was afraid my "singing voice" would send her into convulsions -   :eek:  

Although either Lee or John put "The Black"'s silencers on her, I never have had any trouble with any I put on and would be glad to show you if the chance arose. Oh, I take that back - one time I put some on a bow and the first time I took it out, one of them unraveled like I must have put it on the wrong way, or the beaver/mink had come back to life. I never did figure it out - I just put another one on, and it worked fine.

Oh Bernie, Bernie, you've been lured into the DARK SIDE!!!.  
First you sell Killy your glass bow to delve strictly in to the world of all wood/self bows.  We had high hopes for you that the soulless call of fiberglass and epoxy would fall harmlessly to the ground and never penetrate your consiousness again.  And for a time you entertained us with build alongs of osage bows, white wood holmegard designs and wood shavings.  But, alas, a single glass splinter coupled with a Smooth On shard must have festered under the skin too close to the heart.  You, O might warrior, have fallen once again to the infectious pull of the modern bow.  The Humanity Of It All!!

Well, don't feel too bad, I made my own fg bow for the first time last month, so I must own up to the weakness, as well.
Hope this new girl, Blackie, and you get along wonderfully.  The possums best watch out!

[ber643]

 Don't loose heart, and congrats on your first lam/fg bow build. (Seriously, I'm flattered you remember all that - does my heart good    .

Nice looking bow Bernie!
