I'm up to thirteen bows. Does that sound like an unlucky number?? Maybe I need one more!

It is a bug that is going around.  There is no cure,  the symptoms can be managed with proper treatment, provided by a well qualified highly paid professional, like the guys at Blackwidow or Ron Laclare.  Good luck my friend...

Man, I cringe when I think about the amount of bows that were going thru my house just up till last year. I honestly can't remember all the bows that I have crossed path's with (I tried to recite them all but every time I finish the list, there's always the "Oh yea..." bow I forgot about!!!).

Well, I think my fever broke as I haven't bought/traded/sold any bows since I landed my second Blacktail TD.

Best cure advice I can give is take two Blacktail's and call me in the morning   :thumbsup:

I feel your pain.  I have, in the fairly recent past acquired: Fox triprle crown, two Leon Stewart longbows, Morrison Dakota Carbon/Foam, and a Griffin.  Most have also left for new homes, but the Morrison has taken up "permanent" residence!  If I could get the Griffin sold I'd be adding another Morrison to the house.

Good Luck!

How many dozens of arrows will you have to buy for all those bows.Quick a sponsor should mail him a coupon.   :goldtooth:    Oh and do they sell a 70pk of broadheads.

Gotta love Arrow Dynamics.  Was able to tune to all but one of these bows.  Extremely forgiving arrows!

My bow rack is full, no room left. No complaints, I bought and traded for everything I need to last a lifetime or two. Funny thing is I always end up shooting my Hill Big 5 over everything else.

A 70 pack of broadheads...excellent idea! Bulk should be less expensive.  :D
