This is way to funny  :laughing:  I am sure I am really not fooling my wife.I am self employed and have been for 30 years.I take care of the money and paying bills here so its easy to buy and sell under the radar.But it was funny trying to explain the two BigJim bows,a box from Bison Gear and a box from Safari Tuff.All showed up same day on her day off.I told her I used my Christmas money all 500.00 of it.She knows....

I don't always hide my new bows, but guns are another matter. For some reason, she does not recognize a bow as one she has not seen before; however she spots new firearms instantly. One out of two ain't too bad.

However, I am contemplating a new HH Redman and am afraid to bring up the topic.

I've slowed down quite a bit since me and the Mrs. got together but it was all the buying, selling and trading that got her into it, she has an Assenheimer and '62 Wing, loves to shoot and after I took her Baltimore last year she wants to go to Cloverdale this year. Hide it? She encourages it.  :)

I'm honest with my wife. It just ends up easier that way. She knows I enjoy it and that's good enough for her. Before I buy anything we discuss it to make sure the budget allows it so there is no needing to explain this or that.

I even lucked out that she asked for her own bow this past Christmas so I took care of that in a hurry.

I guess every wife is different.........or are they???

I don't hide mine from the wife. She just wishes I'd find somewhere else keep them but I like to see them hanging on the rack even when I'm not using them. And yeah, after 33 yrs we don't worry each other about purchases as long as the bills get paid first.

I will never forget the statement I made to my wife when I got into archery 35 years ago...I said, "It's a fun, inexpensive sport.

I still laugh about that one.

NO! I work, make the money, pay the bills, provide a safe place to live and have plenty of food on the table. I don't hide anything or have reason to.

Mine is buying mine for me I told her about the mammoth ivory and the buffalo horn lams and she thought it was cool. I think she is looking forward to it as much as I am. It is a funny post though.    :biglaugh:

I pretty much buy what I want and she does the same. She loves shooting and building arrows so she understands. We even planned our wedding around the Muzzy Shoot, had a knock a block course at the wedding and she bought me a new take down Shrew for a wedding gift!
