New Bow
« on: January 29, 2015, 03:39:00 PM »
I bought a Sasquatch TD from Barry at lefties r us and can't wait to get and shoot it. I have been using the same bow for the last 10 years. There is nothing wrong with my old bow it's just that some of you guys (lol) make me jealous with all the bows you have. I thought I could get by with just one but maybe not.

That's a serious warning sign right there. Send that second bow back and keep pretending you only want one. You're heading down a very slippery slope. (It's a fun ride though   :D   )

Beware of the man with one bow !, or is that two bows ?, no wait, I think it's three bows or more.

A new bow every 10 years sounds about right to me.  I've been doing this since 1972 and I have had 4 hunting bows.  I still own them all but spend 99% of my time with the newest. I acquired the newest bow in 2004 so I am getting the itch for a new one also.
