I wish I had never seen pictures of all of the beautifully made exotic bows. I feel like I spend more time trying to find the perfect looking bow and obsess over wood types, wood grain, fiberglass flaws, etc... I already found two bows which shoot out of this world for me and I've bought and sold more of them than I care to remember. Some very pretty, so much that I really don't even like carrying them into the woods for fear of scratching, nicking, denting them. Oh, how I wish I could just by and be happy with a plain Jane hunting bow and get back to the reason I picked up traditional bows in the first place. To hunt deer with!!! Twenty years ago I gave up compounds to stop obsessing over the lastest and greatest gadgets and just hunt. That has been replaced with obsessing over the prettiest, grainiest wood I can find...Mike
