« on: February 07, 2011, 10:41:00 PM »
a toxophilite is apparently a lover and expert of bows and archery, I never knew this, I one day hope to be a true toxophilite!!

I doubt I ever make it to that level...lol

But I am a "bowaholic" does that count for anything?

Yep. Toxophilist, lepidopterist, phelatilist, numismatist & occasional ornithologist.

The definitions I've seen don't connotate being an expert as much as a lover of archery.  I think we all would qualify!   :jumper:

I am. But I've never heard of it being tied to being an expert. An expert, I am not! I've got bunches to learn. Doubt I'll ever get there.

But, I'm workin' on it. It just never ends.

I do not think I am a Toxophilite. I just enjoy archery. After 40 years, I am still learning something new every day.   :goldtooth:

I'm mainly just a bowhunter. If I couldn't hunt, I'm not sure I'd even be shooting a bow. Clint
