Title: Darn bow bug!!!
Post by: Oliverstacy on July 17, 2008, 08:51:00 PM
Darn that bow bug got the best of me...I just ran into some money that couldn't stay put.  I had just enough for the down payment for another Kota Kill-um.  

Going to be around 52-54 lbs at 29"...Cocobolo handle with Bamboo cores and Curly/ spalted Myrtle limbs veneers.  I'm thinking about calling back and adding either bison horn or pronghorn tips.  It is a longer list than the last time I was on it (good for Mr. Finley but not for me).  I won't have it until around the first of the year so I have plenty of time to save for the rest.  

Selling a lot of stuff around the house to finance the rest of the cost...just couldn't resist this bug; I gave it a valiant effort though.

I have talked to a person that makes a lot of them and they are amazing looking bows...he's going to make me one this winter if everything goes according to plan.  I have often thought about how hard it must be for him not to have 25 in his private collection.  But then again he wouldn't have a business if he did that.

I just sold my Bob Lee T/D recurve and when the postal money order arrives, I'll have almost enough for a down payment on a 68" Brackenbury Legend T/D recurve.

My wife once told me she doesn't mind if I buy stuff as long as I sell the things I no longer use.  I buy a lot of things this way.
