Title: Am I sick or what??
Post by: Nakohe on March 21, 2007, 11:09:00 AM

I think I might be an addict. I keep buying, trading bows, arrows, knives. My wife is threatning divorce or straight jacket. Pakages arriving and being shipped daily, bank account going down, late hours on the "puter. I hope with my Roberston, Shawnee, and a Silver Fox coming I am done with bows for a while, now I am wanting to make arrows. And don't get me started on knives. HELP!!! Is there a cure? LOL Anybody else having theese problems?  :knothead:    :knothead:

I solved it!   I decided to exersise will power and opt for specialization... one type of bow.   Perfect solution... i think... you see, I am now up to 20 Howard Hill bows... the postman is still almost a family member and I'm wondering if a 70 year old can still get a paper route, but I hate to take a job from a little boy...

You're as normal as normal can be for around here.
It starts with an interest, the interest becomes a passion, the passion becomes an obsession, the obsession becomes a big bank breaking room full of toys.

How About This?...Just say..."Honey, would you like me to build another room on the house for all my archery stuff?"...That will get her to thinking...MMmmmm...Then she might come back with..."Well, that's a good idea!...How about two rooms?...One for your stuff... :D ... and the other for when Uncle Dracula... :eek: ... (whoever) comes to town?"

Bet THAT will make your day!!!

As already said, you are not alone, I just told my wife last night, while on this site, "I wish I had a ton of money so I could buy/sell/trad traditional archery stuff, cause is is so much fun to do...

You don't have any problem,seem quite normal to me. That's how I behave,act,think and dream.Just convince yourself (and your spouse)that you are investing in your grandchildrens future by collecting the finest archery equipment of the modern era and that someday, these items will be of significant value to a collector (like ourselves) Besides..we can never have too many toys.

"Buy your wife a horse that's what i did."

Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhhh!
I am now starting to doubt the choice I made 24 years ago! Of course, I was  working  horses back then, so it was not a criterion.

Do over?  :)  
Uh-oh, he might read this... and I am the one with too many bows  :o

I think you and I can help each other. I need to sell and you obviously need to buy  :biglaugh:  

I figure it's ok to keep buying until I find the "right" one. I'll start worrying after I have "the one".

Hey Donald,  

That's no excuse for her....I'm a city girl too but fell head over heals in love with archery, especially when Frank showed me how when we met (I think he started something he can't control now)   :help:     and the horses....well I think it's just genetic, loved them as long as I could remember...

"Can't have near as much fun with diamonds as you can with a horse! 'Specially if you have too many bows! "

That statement says it all!!     :thumbsup:      ;)
