Time to confess......
« on: November 17, 2012, 03:04:00 AM »
As we all know, archery can be very addictive. Sometimes it is a black hole too, where all your money dissapears... We are getting to the end of this year now...time for confessions..   :)  
So what did you buy for archery stuff this year?

I will start, have mercey with me....


One Cari-Bow Peregine, 2nd hand, like new
One Whippenstick Phoenix, 2nd hand like new
Some SBD strings
A custom made bowsleeve in which my Phoenix fits with Thunderhorn BOA mounted
A whole lot of Sitka Spruce shafts
Big Jims Goldtip Blems
A Thunderhorn small Fry sidewinder
A Thunderhorn superstringer
A Scott Teaschner Armguard
Antler Limb Bolts
And a sidequiver coming up (string struggling between a leather one or the Arrowmaster...)

That's about it....

Now it is your turn to confess....
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that string! [/i]                            :rolleyes:              
Cari-bow Peregrine
Whippenstick Phoenix

Materials to build 3 bows (one given away in the bow swap)
3 dozen shafts
feathers/nocks/field points/lacquer
two gloves
arm guard
GFA Qiver (bought used from classifieds)
string making material
G. Fred Asbell's book
3D deer target
passes to 5 traditional shoots
and of course, hunting license

That's all I can recall right now, but at least it's better than guzzling the money down in beer (I did some of that too).

I must be the lucky one, have not bought anything new for archery except arrow components and strings in over 20 years.  Bought my bow in 1991 for $300.

I spend countless hours/money in my shop building bows, mostly kids bows, with a lot of research/development time thrown in.

I tricked my wife into thinking it is great as long as I always make time for her projects ,hunting,fishing,garden, yard, housework, and she gets 3 plus new bows a year along with dozens of new arrows.

Time to cook breakfast so I better scoot.

I think Steve in Canton is the wisest among us....get one bow, shoot it a lot, get good with it, be happy.....ah, something to aspire to!

But not me!  I am waaaayy too much of a tinkerer for that....how I sometimes wish I wasn't.

This year, just off the top of my head...

2 Black Swan Recurves
Centaur 3X carbon
2 sets of Border Hex6 ILFs
3 DAS risers
2 vintage Rocky Mountain Recurves
Who knows how many broadheads, strings, string building stuff, arrow stuff....oh geez....I have a problem!
