My name is Steve aka "Tradcat" and I'm a bow-aholic too ! My current "stash" is a GN Bushbow, cocobolo riser with red elm limbs 62" 55# @ 27" and a Robertson Purist 64" 58# @ 26" and, coming soon, a JD Berry Taipan, Morningstar or Vixen. I can't decide what my next "drink" will be... I NEED HELP ! Maybe a 12 bow program will help ? Anybody got a couch I can sleep on ? LOL

When you have owned over 200 bows you can call yourself a bowaholic, LOL, a couple don't count. I resemble that remark. I cannot even remember all the bows I have ever owned, makes my head hurt just thinking about it,LOL.

There is a cure for being a bowaholic.  I have it and it is going make my other bows become dust collectors. I need to thin the herd again, but my wife says that I am not giving away anymore bows.  I was up to twenty some then down to four then up to twelve. I am only going to shoot the one until it dies or I die.

Clearly you guys don't understand. If there is no problem to admit to, then there is no problem....right?

I do not have a problem.
