I have this terrible habit of logging in every day, and going directly to the 2017 Trad Bow section, to search the classifieds, altho, I certainly don't need any more bows. Its a habit, I guess and it gets me in trouble, cause, I say to myself, " Don't look now Ethel!", resist the trad bow section...."see if you can do it for a week, or a month"....NOPE. Not happening..
I gotta start switching it up, and head to Pow Wow first..at least I wont be spending any money :laughing:
I do the same thing. It used to be my thinking that if the perfect* bow was for sale, for an acceptable price, I would buy it. Now, I don't really want a new bow, I am happy with what I have now. I still check everyday and when I see that perfect* bow, I don't buy it, and pat myself on the back. That way, one day I'll feel as if I've earned a perfect* bow due to my past frugality and start the cycle over again.
Pow wow first for me.......then the classifieds. Not just bows.......shafts, wool, knives, quivers and anything else that for sale. Made a couple of good trades last year, always looking for something I don't need.
Same here.
I go to PowWow first but then to 2017 Classifieds, mostly just to look at pictures and just in case someone (LH) has lost their mind :)
Yeah and if you don't find anything to buy you try to buy all your buddies bows. Hahaha.
GUILTY!
:o
TJ! I like that one! :scared:
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I don't need any bows at the moment, but always looking for limbs for bows I have already, mostly due to dropping weight. Pronghorns right now.
PowWow first for me then I hit the classifieds.
I don't go there first, but i definitely look at it after powwow!
I never look at the classified, Scott calls me and lets me know what's for sale, it does get expensive.
Powwow first for me , then the classifieds. I just got a new Caribow this fall, so I'm not in the market for any bows, but can't resist looking. I go through all the classifieds though, bought some broadheads last week. :bigsmyl:
I go to the Classifieds first, mostly to window shop. I missed two Toelke Whips which are on my list and hoping for another Robertson Peregrine or Mystical pop up in the #50 range, but those might be wishful thinking...
Guilty.
Guilty as charged. Probably 5 times a day
First stop for me as well.
Guilty here as well.
I use to could.
Cain't no more.
I did not renew my tradgang contributor membership and I am hoping it will save me a whole bunch of money.
Now if I could just quit the classifieds on the other sites I would be in good shape!
LOL
I dont have to worry about it, im not here for the classifieds.....non-contributor.
Yep, but my "perfect" bow I am looking for has to really be perfect specs before I buy anymore.
By the looks of it, I'm not alone! :laughing:
Totally to the classifieds 1st unless there is a Pow Wow topic I'm keeping tabs on. I have clicked on at the perfect time and gotten some top shelf hardware. And have missed out on some top shelf hardware by 5 minutes. Love this forum. It has a personality to it, Other sites are kinda BETA you know...this one you can get to know some like minded archers easier/better. rat'
I hardly ever look at the bow classifieds. I check out the Arrow and String Making Components every day though!

Hey Bisch
That's understood with you and your Sarrels bow...you don't need another bow, that thing has like....400 notches in it already, doesn't it? :D
Classified first. 2-3 times a day. Very bad habit

That's easily remedied. Just don't pay to be a contributor. I used to buy and sell multiple bows every year and used to spend most of my time here looking at the classifieds. Every since you had to pay to play I don't have to worry about that anymore.
Yup, I have one more bow on my list but I suspect it won't happen.

Kat, I'm with you. I just browse the classifieds to see if there is anything real special that I would love to have. Last year a mint condition John Schulz Trophy Hunter came up one day--left handed and my weight. I jumped on that baby immediately before anyone else had a chance to see it. :D I really am not looking for any sort of bow now but who knows when you see one that just calls your name.
