I have been at this bowhunting and shooting longbows and now recurves for well over 40 years. When I was younger I was content with a Ben Pearson Ole Ben longbow and I shot that bow for ever it seems. Then I spent 21 years in the US Navy and my hunting and shooting took a back seat to my career due to being gone a bunch. After I retired in 93, I picked the bow back up and have never looked back. The only problem is I love bows and shooting to the point of obsession. Since 93 I have owned and shot more bows than I care to mention. I shoot recurves almost exclusively now in the 60# range, used to shoot 80# longbows exclusively. Anyway I have two custom bows in the rack, one on the way and a Shrew Samurai on order. Plus an Adcock and a sweet selfbow at my brother's house in Texas.

Just when I thought I was done, along comes Louis posting about his new Border. So what do I do, I go to Sid's site find a riser and limbs in stock that fit me and order it. Thanks alot Louis,LOL.

What is a man to do, so many bows, so little time.

I just bought my last bow for a while, a mikuta td recurve, as a sophmore in highschool with no real jobs and saving for car insurance, I really have to scrape and save for my bows, I am addicted to new bows, sure, I love the ones I have, but I always want more, a man can never have enough bows,guns, and knives!!!!!!!!!

You are not alone Bro,

Cari-Bow Silver Fox
Morrison Shawnee with Dakota limbs
Zipper T/D longbow
Black Widow PSAX Osage
And probably an Ancient Spirits Sequoia in the near future.

We are both hopeless addicts.LOL

I have a Fox Royal Crown longbow that I bought 2 weeks ago. And I have a Border Harrier GL longbow on order. When I decided to sell my DAS Hunter T/D recurve that meant all of the ILF limb sets had to go. I was able to sell everything but the Border HexV-H limbs that hadn't been built, yet. When I asked Sid if I could cancel the order, he politely said, "No." When I asked him if I could change my order and put the money I had sent him for the limbs and put it towards a Black Harrier, he suggested the Harrier GL instead. The rest, as they say, is history.

Danny,

You are going to love your Border bow. Someday you will be purchasing a set of HexIV or HexV limbs, I predict. Enjoy!

LOL, Bubba that is a Cari-Bow Silver Fox, not a Crow Creek. You sold your Blackfeather, remember, Ol timers kick in?

Even counting the bows you have on order and the ones at Donald's I'm still only coming up with six bows. I don't see that as a problem at all!

Like any addiction, the addict must first hit rock bottom before recovery can begin. I'm afraid there could be a long way to go before you get there!

Danny Rowan · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:30:00 AM »

LOL, Joe,

Yeah, but I lost count on the ones I have bought/sold/and traded over the years. Been a bunch of them. But yeah, six aint so many, least that is what I tell the missus.

Bow-a-holics meetings held every Thursday evening. Great place to meet guys to trade with, er I mean recover.

I thought that was called "Archers Anonymous" ????? but every AA meeting i went to had all these guys sitting around telling drinking stories instead of hunting stories....i was disapointed....i did quit drinking though.....

Nakohe · « **Reply #16 on:** May 17, 2007, 08:24:00 AM »

LOL Bro,

Yeah I guess I got a case of the old-timers. Fingers typed before the brain caught up. I forgot to mention I may consider a Blacktail again also. Gail is going to killll me.LOL

Hi, my name is Les and I am a bow-a holic, BW, Cascade, Kabekona River, Centaur, and lots of old classic recurves. Is there a cure for this addiction???

JL · « **Reply #18 on:** May 17, 2007, 08:56:00 AM »

You know, I thought I had it whipped , then this innocent enough Zipper TD comes along and I'm right back at it. I said, yea, I can handle just one more...

Put me firmly right back in the saddle again. This has the potental to leave me homeless, living under a bridge somewhere, eating squirels. Panhandling for judo points...

Danny I feel your pain. Each new bow is better looking and shoots better than the last one. I hope it never ends. I guess it will end when they pry my cold dear fingers from the telephone. LOL.
