I'm pretty sure that is a record, at least it would be for me.

being as how I've shot darn near every bow out there the withdrawls and shakes weren't to bad...
but with some new designs coming out just over the horizon, I'm fearful I may fall off the wagon!

Larry, I shot with you last winter and you had the most beautiful bow I think I have ever seen. You do not need a new bow, that bow was a work of art...

Larry,

While not being able to say that I have already shot EVERY bow out there, I have gone through quite a few in the past few years. I am down to only two bows........both recurves and by the same bowyer.

There is only ONE bow that I have sold that I would desperately like back and it is a longbow. I shot it as well as anything that I have ever owned and "thought" that the grass would be greener on the other side of the fence.

I WILL own another Zipper SXT......with longbow limbs, something 64" long with some carbon and foam core in the limbs. I just shot it to darn well to not own another in the future. Times are tough right now for everyone and I am no exception but some things just have to be tried, if for no other reason to be able to ADMIT that we were WRONG.    :campfire:  

BEST of luck........in making your decision.

Hey larry I hunted with you down at Ray's last January and I've bought 2 used bows and have 2 more new bows on order. Do I need help,maybe we need to form a support group.

I knew I hadn't seen you around the classified section anytime recently! What brand are you looking at for your next purchase?

Just remember Larry,your getting older.At your age, never buy a bow when your feeling pumped.Order it when your feeling beat up.
 That Centaur must look awful lonely on the rack.

Larry...They are a bit pricey but think about a Border recurve if that is the direction you are going.
