Just how bow crazy are you?
« on: February 18, 2012, 06:38:00 PM »
I was sanding limb cores and just as I shut the machine down I heard the phone ring.  Well I could not get to it in time so I called the guy back. It turns out that he pushed the wrong number on his speed dial and did not really need to talk to me. After we hung up I got to thinking. Just how bow crazy is this guy that he has a bow builder on speed dial?   :D   I got a kick out of it because he reminds me of several folks here.    :readit:

That's not crazy.....that's insane. I'm crazy about bows and have a bunch......but nobody is on speed dial.In fact I don't even have speed dial,I still have a phone on the wall. Now on the other hand I do have Zipper and Chad Holm on my list for PM'S,Just in case I have a question........I do have 2 of each!!........   :thumbsup:

I don't have any bowyer on speed dial. I am not a bow junkie. As of right now I am working to get the money for the new 3 piece Tomahawk. Once I get it I will be done buying bows for a long time. Unless they come out with something that improves performance by a large margin and even then I don't think I would buy it as I am very happy with my Tomahawk.
