There is no known cure,accept the inevitable:you will eventually have more bows than hairs on your head.In my case it happened sooner than later!

The only cure I've found is to get one you love so much that you don't need the others.
   
Well it was working, I just saw a 59 grizzly fresh from Bowdoc in the classifieds that has started up that nagging need again.

I feel your pain. I'm fairly new to the sickness and these are my customs. I'm selling off my production bows so I can pull the trigger on a new custom. The only good thing is I don't have a better half to answer to. Wait, maybe a little "Controlling Authority" is what I need! LOL! My life has "Devolved" to the point that the biggest decision in my life is my next bow! I guess Golden Hawk has the only anwser for the madness.

OK. I'm intrigued..... What's the tiny little bow at the top of the rack in the first pic? Are my eyes finlly giving in, or does it look to be about 36" long???
It's the totally flat bow with the No Gloves.

Rob, That is a youth Black Rhino Longbow that his 3 or 4 year old daughter shoots.  I believe it is 9#@18" or something like that.  I had the pleasure of shooting with Jason and his daughter one day and let me tell you she can definatly shoot.  I got a kick out of watching Jason and her shoot together.

Whitebuffalo.... I'm sorry to inform you that you are far worse off than you think.   You are barely at the onset stage of this disease.... I'm told that there are treatments, but that none are truly effective.  You just have to let the disease run its course...

 

If you look closely, you'll see that that's two layers of bows... and I'm starting to double up on pegs!

I've had it bad for a very long time!  My wife is no help either, she bought me two bows.  One was the Bear Custom T/D.

You are the farthest thing from sick.
You guys simply suffer from good taste!

Tim and Whitebuffalo, I sure hope to meet you guys one of these days.  Appears we are practically neighbors.  I'll be at the MTB Jamboree June 16 FYI.

Take care,

Jim

Actually... except for the old vintage lemonwood longbows over at the left, they are all Hills...  even the reverse handle, which was made by John Schulz when he was at Hill Archery.

I can't resist saying it... note how my bows are hung straight up and down on pegs.   It obvious you guys have been using horizontal pegs and/or standing your bows on end in the closet.   That's what causes the ends to bend like that.    On horizontal pegs, the ends droop and take a set.   Standing on end on the floor is even worse, and is actually how this trend to bent ends started.    Try setting them on the pegs upside down and maybe the ends will straighten?

If you guys really want a cure for this sickness I can help, but that is only if you truly want to be free from this dreaded disease.

First of all confess your sickness to your wife.  Then when the urge strikes you to buy a new bow, imediately tell your wife you need the money for a new bow more then the kids need clothes and food.  This might not cure you imediately but it will slow the process down.

Last chance antidode is go ahead and buy the bow anyway and send it to me and I will keep it for you. This way you have satisfied your urge, plus the wife does not see any new additions so she thinks your doing good and not buying new bows.

Email me and I will send you my address!    :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:

If you are sick, I must need an ICU!!!!  I just built another bow rack that holds 9 bows.  That takes care of about 1/4 of them   :knothead:    Worse yet, I have 2 new custom bows on their way and picked up another during the auction (I would have had 2 more had the computer meltdown not sabotaged my sniping).  Is there a doctor in the house?!!!!  Oh yeah, I am a doctor.    :goldtooth:
