Never, ever tell the wife what a bow costs. Every custom I have cost at least that much. But I have a bow fund set up and that is what I use for my bows and hunts. Put a bit in every payday.

I like Danny's thinking.  I used to be a carpenter, I try to get side jobs to finance extra purchases.  Just ordered my first custom bow in May.  Told the wife it is more the $300, but less than $3000.

I'm glad you bought that one. I, too, was looking at it. Great looking bow. Now I don't have to explain to my wife about it.

Most of the time I' can intercept the packages and hide them in the man cave before the Mrs gets home. Every now and then she sees me heading to the range and she says is that a new bow? and I say oh no it's just an old one I haven't shot in a while.     :readit:      :bigsmyl:

When I tell people what I paid for a bow they often forget that I do not have a wife to answer to these days...makes it a lot simpler...works the same for motorcycles and cars, okay toys in general...I spent close to 2500 bucks on bows lately...not every day you are going to come by a Blacktail Snakebit with two sets of limbs or a 64 inch Kodiak Deluxe when you have the money to pay for them...that is actually the price of a new Snakebit with one set of limbs

A few days ago I bought 2 new arrow rest from a local bow shop, they guy asked if I want the receipt, I simply replied "no, you never save receipts for toys, that’s how you get into trouble" the 2 guys behind the counter started laughing and agreed...

I think you're played it about as smart as a man can.

"Yes Dear" sounds a lot like the way every difference of opinion ended when I was married.

Enjoy your bow but love and honor your wife, they are a gift.

God bless,Mudd

If I get it to the rack undetected it becomes 'what new bow'.

See, you have to find a wife like mine.
Honey see this Bear Take Down bow, I sure would like to have one of them. Next thing I know she's online ordering it. Honey see this 69 Bear Super Kodiak on this auction site boy I'd love one of them, bought it.
Honey see this Wing Red Wing Hunter, bought it
I have to be careful what I say I want or she'll buy me almost anything.
