IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW
« on: July 26, 2010, 07:59:00 AM »
Just got the 2010 Black Widow fall catalog and seen all those pretty bows; caught myself wanting a new bow and there should be a law against these companies sending those "I want one of those" catalogs to a bowhunters home....   :help: ;

Am I the only one that has trouble wanting a new bow all the time? I may need some professional help;......   :campfire:

I agree, but being the impatient person I am, I hate having to wait on a bow being built.  So I hit Kalamazoo and Compton's and cruise the bow racks.  If you think it's tough seeing them in a catalog, try resisting when you can handle and shoot them!

I think it might be something genetic since they didn't treat the water centuries ago and yet those folks were always working on a new bow or a trade to get a new bow.

The Iceman Otzi had what they believed to be a "new bow in progress" on his person when they thawed him out of the ice.

This malady has plagued mankind for centuries. Too bad the internet hadn't been invented back then they could've found better bows faster..lol

God bless,Mudd

A buddy of mine runs a cycle shop and they specialize in Harleys.

He just traded for one that i would really like to own and said i could have it for $9,000 dollars.

I started doing some math and in the last 16 months i have bought enough bows that would nearly pay for that Harley.

I think im going to lay off bow buying for a while because i sure would like one of those Harleys.

I started shooting trad in January 07 and by hunting season of 09 I had 11 bows. My wife looked @ me and said, "How many of those things do you need?" There is NO good answer to that question   :knothead:    :knothead:  
Lucky for me I had shoulder surgery and was forced to sell some bows. I am down to 1 Mikuta TD recurve, 1 Morrison ILF LB, 1 Morrison TD LB, and 2 Lost Creek longbows of which one I bought new in May of this year & killed my first trad turkey the last day of the season. Thibking about a LC recurve.  Sorry honey....

Hey Crotch Horn,
with that kind of massive voluntary reduction in bow numbers, I would think you are due one. Man I want to know how that LC recurve shoots. JUST DO IT.

I think the word for it is archeryism. I have it real bad and I don't think there is a cure.
