Do like I did, sold-traded all my recurves off in the the last 2 years.

Looked at the bow rack and thought I'm with out a recurve!!!

Ordered a Wes Wallace yesterday... but this is my last one!!!!!

Sad news, rehab does not work.......♠
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥

You simply need a new hobby.   Take up salt water fly fishing on the Gulf Coast.   And buy yourself a fishing kayak; sit on top of course, so that you can fish the bars on the ocean side.

Just remember for the cost of one bow you could provide an underprivileged child with 10 yrs worth of feminine hygiene products, so she can go to school. or it will pay the salary of the actor doing the commercial.

Thanks for the advise and the offer of a Sister in Law. However the first of the three arrived today. A Browning Wasp 56" 42# that I bought right here from Mr. Jacks Shanks. As soon as I got home I grabed a hand full of arrows and stood in the rain to try her out. The Bow shoots great! Which only makes my problems worse.

Just to make it clear these are not my first trad bows. I have been shooting for a number of years, although I do still consider myself a novice. I have a lot more to learn and I look forward to learning it right here with the Trad Gang.
By the way, Jack was wonderful to deal with. I'm sure most of you already know that.

Still waiting on bows 2 and 3 from Fleabay.

Mike, I have been checking out your web-site, you might be on to something. Great Looking Bows.

You'll get no sympathy from me without pics.

I guess if you have the money go for it.

Personally, I have 2 kids and a wife, and I am only 25 years old. All my money goes to supporting us.

I count my blessings for the one longbow that I do have. I traded my .270 for that bow....

No joke.

However, if you can afford 3 or 4 bows in 2 days then go for it.. why not right??

Here you go Greg. I had the disease real bad for about 18 months but I'm almost cured. I only have 140 bows now after selling off a bunch of extras.

Shucks, the truly hopeless cases aren't even on this thread - they gave up internet access to support the habit long ago.

Thanks for the pictures Jack. I will try to figure out how to load pics on here and get pics of #2 and #3 when they arrive.

John, Sounds good. I have a lot of hunting buddies but none of them shoot trad. They think i'm crazy. I'm sure you could give me some shooting tips as well.

Sam, I know where your coming from. When my wife and I got married I sold my Mod.70 in .308 to buy a washer and dryer. Man that thing shot good.
