Excited!

[Siloutemirage]

My bow just shipped!!! In a few days my very first recurve will be home! Im so stoked! i felt like sharing the news with all the nice people on this forum because im sure someone out there is just as excited or likes to live vicariously through others.
 
   

Soon i'll be shooting!       Like the rest of you guys!

[YORNOC]

HAHA!!!!  Nothing like that feeling!  Good luck sleeping!!

[Mudd]

I understand completely!! I'm not sure I should let this cat out of the bag but that feeling doesn't change to any extent whether it's your 1st bow or your 500th or at least it hasn't for me and based on the level of excitement garnered from reading other prospective new owners threads and posts on here I'd venture a guess it still holds true for them also.

You're in with some real good company Lady!!

BTW there's a new-to-me Cari-bow Featherhorn Diamond Series, 66" and 50# @ 28",horn overlays on riser and limb tips in the mail system headed my way that I'm pretty stoked about myself....lol

Thank you for allowing us to share in your love for archery.

God bless,Mudd

The day a bow is to arrive is hard to beat!  I even meet the UPS or Fed Ex. guy half way across the yard!

[YORNOC]

By the way, what do you have coming Irene?????

[Bonebuster]

All smiles for you!

[Siloutemirage]

hahaha! I'll probably be at work when it arrives. But my USPS lady knows me (i order alot of things online.) and she'll leave it in a safe place.

I have a vintage Wing Slimline Corsair comeing my way. Its a really light weight bow, cause my bow whose type shall not be named, is set at 30#'s... so i went smaller to 20# to get a feel for thing. or so it was recommended to me.

Either way, im excited... even if it needs strings and i need arrows still.  :(  plus i have no where to shoot still cause my yard has a tendency to swallow my arrows.

maybe i can head to the range and try it out if someone has arrows or something that are similar for it.

It will need a little TLC anyways so it will be nice to be able to give it a good cleaning, and maybe refurb the coating the wood has.

I'm waiting on one too that shipped earlier this week I really hope it will come tomorrow    

Make sure you post you new recurve pics on here!

[S.C. Hunter]

I completely understand. I have a new to me Thunderstick Mag on the way and I can't wait. I am looking at the Big Jim Bows as well. Those are a sweet looking bow.

[Siloutemirage]

i will! i mean i have some of the sellers pics that i can post.  :p  but their not that great. but i guess taking pics of a "stick" is kind of hard to do and make it look good. Hahaha!

[Mike Most]

I know the feeling, I stopped at the local hardwoods store and picked up a maple piece for bow laminations and I cant wait..... Ya Hoooooo.

Lam grinding and epoxy here I come..... and this aint the first.....

[J-dog]

See Mudd!!! you let the cat outta the bag! both of ya ! show us the pics!

[Siloutemirage]

Alrighty... i'll post the sellers pics and then i'll post my own when it arrives.     i enjoy taking artsy fartsy pics. its one of my many hobbies.
   
   
   
     
 
It's pre-loved but it has history too. hopefully i can make it beautiful again! even though its not too bad looking at the moment.   :D  
       

Is there a rule about posting pics i should know about?

[DennyK]

Siloutemirage, the last new bow I got was in 2004. It was a PSAX Black Widow Kingwood. I still remember the anticipation. Wheather it's a bow or activity there's always something to look foreward to.  

[Siloutemirage]

i hope its as light as the one i played with at bass pro. i was in love when i felt how light it was. <3

[Siloutemirage]

Here's crossing my fingers that it will be at home waiting for me when I get off of work.  

[ber643]

No rule other than size, and yours are below the 640 allowed. Ya done good - LOL

New bows are just like hunting - if ya don't get the extreme thrill anymore - it's time to quit - buying/hunting -  

[Siloutemirage]

Hahaha! Yeah. I'm. Bit of a shop o holic sometimes. I like the thrill of waiting!    it's bad for my wallet. Hahaha!

[straitera]

Good for you. I feel your excitement. Pix asap.

[Siloutemirage]

sure will! gotta make it through the work day!
