You fought the good fight, but it was pretty clear that you were hooked from the start.   :D

Oh dear.  I think you have what is called a "Holm-ing instinct".

I think until we break you of this you'd better let me hold onto that bow for a few years . . .

For your own good, of course.

Same here!! But having an odd number or Holms bows is bad luck Ron.  Maybe you should sell me that duel shelfer so everything is back to normal!!  :biglaugh:

I tried, I tried.......but I gave in the contribution too.  She was calling to me......begging.....pleading.....that fickle temptress called the recurve bow.

I made the mistake of cruising the classifieds a couple of days ago thinking it would be safe since I have more bows than I deserve and don't really don't have any money to spend anyway...stupid mistake.  

For the last two days I've been having a battle over spending money I shouldn't on something I don't need.  But I really, really, want it bad... :banghead:

I just tell myself, "I Don't Need Another Bow!" and it works, sometimes.......  :dunno:  ... Well, maybe. Kinda almost never... Forget it!
