I am so obsessed with archery it is scary. I have the tendency to get obsessive about things but this sport is right up there where girls were when I was 16 years old :scared: . I really want winter to end so shooting in my yard is more pleasant. Oh wait I still need to go on a bunny hunt, no wait league is fun and I need to improve my shooting for my spring bear hunt :smileystooges: ……see I’m crazy. Thank god for this site because I can tell I’m not alone. Who else feels a little crazy about it?

My hand is proudly raised!

Guilty as charged. And somehow trad gear is even worse for me than my compound was...
-
Better....I meant better!!

I'm alright in my own mind, if I could just save myself from myself. :bigsmyl: I know its of limited resorce's (my mind that is)
Our first step is to admit we have a problem. OK OK OK I do have a problem like so many of you. If we could just all get together, for group support. Comptons I just don't have the time to take care of it. It just makes me more consumed by desires.
Good luck we are all in this together(Red Green)

Sounds like you need therapy......like another bow or something. Welcome to the other side.

My name is Frenchymanny....I started shooting bow only the week end first...look at me now I'm an aspirant bowyer :scared:
-
I'm not so sure therapy is a good idea. Did you notice that next to most Archery Therapist's offices there is a guy selling bows out of his mobile trad shop?
-
I guess it must be me, but I do not see a problem. Alan

me too

It's 10 degree's outside,negative wind chills, dark and I just finsihed shooting a few practice rounds in my yard. I think you better count me in as well.

I thought I was the only one.

Do I qualify?
I have six bows now and one on order and am looking at a couple more that I find interesting.
However I am confused because I can't figure out why anyone should need more than one bow!!!!!
WHEW.

A little crazy?
What if...what if one combines archery with flyfishing the Hex Hatch or flycasting Clousers for smallies?
This way lies sheer madness!
Does 3 Rivers carry straight-jackets? Maybe in a ghillie-suit style? :scared:

Obsessed I'm not obsessed I only have five bows and a few dozen arrows and just bought a cresting lathe and a digital camera so I can post photos on trad gang. I go to the range twice a week and shoot in my dining room. Nope I'm not obsessed. :archer:

... :) ... :eek: ... :wavey: ... :D ... :archer:

I've bought or ordered 6 recurves in the last 3 months. Would have bought a 7th off the Classifieds if I had logged on a few minutes earlier on one particular day.
Does that qualify me? :D
-
I feel your pain, i have been up since 4 am this morning waiting to go to a bow shoot that is 45 minutes from my house and its 20 degrees outside.
I cant wait to see all my trad friends and shoot some new bows in some cold weather.
-
Yep I got it BAD!
-
Me too!!
I'll think about cutting back when I can't stop smelling Fletch tite...oh wait, there is fletchtape now. I guess this means a lifelong addiction :knothead:
-
The real difference among hunters is this..If you hunt with archery gear, not a DAY goes by without you having conscious thoughts about hunting, bows, arrows, etc. If you make you own equipment, every day finds you thinking of your next project and hunting with your STUFF! It totally addictive and I must admit, I'm An Addict!

I built a new medical office in October. I left a 20yd X 10yd "secret" room off my office for bow therapy. Everyone thinks it's for file storage on supplies but a few select bowhunting paients, office staff, and (unfortunately) wife know it is a group therapy/bowhunting room. I find that 10-20 arrows before work, at lunch, and after work will help with your addiction. Like most though, a little will leave you with wanting more! Come on in, the waters warm...
-
Yeah you guys get it. It is all about falling to sleep visualizing shooting or waking restless at 3:00am with some crazy thought about how to change your string silencers or release style. I also get the “buy the bow” obsession, but this is more disturbing than coveting another archery toy. I even go from wanting to buy lots of bows to just wanting to dedicate myself to one bow and search for perfection in that relationship. Then I change and see another beautiful bow I “have” to have. But what I am mostly talking about is mentally whittling at oneself to become better and more knowledgeable about arching, waking up restless and desperate to be shooting.

Archeryaddict fits me.
Was the only one at work in Bldg today. You guess it! I set up a target in the hallway. Working on my short game (anchor and release). Just bought a stickbow last month and already looking for another one. I better learn fast how to make them or I will got broke.
