Choosing a sacrificial bow or bows

I found a stock bow available through one of our fine sponsors, but before I can buy, I gotta sell a bow or two, which means choosing a sacrificial bow or two.....this aint gonna be easy.
How many of you have been there and made the sacrificial choice?

Find someone with a need and you'll not have to make a choice. If someone in the classifieds posts a WTB, it's an easier decision to make.

I've done it once or twice and and usually end up regretting it. Now I have to really know that I just don't shoot or really like a bow to get rid of it for another.

I just traded a Lost Creek that I thought I would never get rid of. But I got a sweet deal. A bow that fits me alot better.

It's not easy. That's why it's called a sacrifice.
An act of slaughtering an animal or person or
surrendering a possession
as an offering to God or to a divine or supernatural figure.
I've got a couple sacrificial lambs in my closet right now. Just waiting for the St. Jude's auction to be over. Got to reimburse (justify) the money I spent on two take-downs recently.
Just pick the one(s) you haven't shot in a long long time.

It's not easy at all, I just recently picked out three of my keepers to sell to fund new projects. All great performers but I'm using hill style bows soo much I don't see myself going back.
My choices were a Saxon American, Quinn Stallion and a Kohanna Windwalker. All three great shooting bows but that's the way it goes. Good luck with your choice, so what are you selling, hopefully nothing I must have

That's why I have so many bows. I usually make the mistake of shooting the Chosen One "one last time" before it leaves me. It ends up back in its spot because it shoots well or has memories.

I just keep the Sacred bows and window shop. It certainly is a lot cheaper that way.

look at it this way, eventually everything you own will belong to somebody else.

i have sacrificed a bow only to buy it again later......some i regret and some i just needed a push to get rid of since they really were not the right bow for me (but i liked something about them). Definitely getting harder as the stable gets refined!!!

I spent 25 years working up to 65# and then back down again. Getting rid of light or heavy bows along the way was not hard at all.
Now that I have settled on 45#-47# bows I have no logical reason to sell one off. Yes, it is painful to part with a bow that is in my new wheel house.
I recently sold an Abbott just so I could get another one in a different wood combo and length. That decision took over a year for me.

One of the hardest things I have ever done recently. I wanted a new Caribow and normally would just buy one, but I really wanted to shoot just one bow and have one back up. I decided to part with an RER and a couple others that hurt. Glad I did though, I am shooting the new Tuktu EX very well!! Shawn
