Myself,Rabbittman,Bobby Bear and Nasty had our regular Sunday morning Archery outting this AM. Zero degrees, snow and wind. My wife said nobody going to shoot in this weather, Boy did we show her. Needless to say it was a much shorter outing than usual but we had a good time. MIKE
I've got similar problems. Been seeing a shrink for a couple of years now. I probably would'nt but my issue also includes finding pleasure from standing in the trout brook fly fishing in 14 degree temps trying for 8" trout.
if you floss with D-97.... :)
Do i have a problem if i shave with a magnus 2 blade broadhead? :bigsmyl:
If you have to push arrows out of the way to sit and eat dinner,and your dog walks around chewing on old fletchings and your kids have knocks on the tops of their school pencils. :archer: :coffee:
If you have arrows in every corner of the house and your wife is so used to it she quit complaining about it.
If you don't have a wife because you have arrows in every corner of the house...and don't care!
When you find Bow's you forgot you had. All socked up in hiding ??
I don't think I'm an archery nut. Just ask my two beagles,Bow and Arrow. :)

My cats, Fred and Bear, agree! :bigsmyl:
if at 5 years old your make your dad set up a tree stand in your back yard and you sit there for hours with your red and white plastic recurve with sucktion cup arrows waiting for a deer to come bye then you shoot it and go thru the motions of tracking the deer. Keep in mind i grew up in the city on one ot the most busy streest in the area!
your bow is worth more than your vehichle.....
Your computer is covered with drool from visiting the Morrison site.
I often get out and practice outdoors here in the middle of Sweden with temperatures down to
-20 degrees C. Short practice sessions, from 10-30 arrows. And in the evening I go to town to practice indoors.
Or to talk about stumpshooting in the winter when the snow is around a yard high and you go kicking in the snow like an angry moose to find your arrows. Haven´t done that this winter, but often last year.
when you buy a Bear Cub recurve when your wife is pregnent with your first child!
When you have to start shoving archery gear out of the way to find anything anywhere in the house.Ask me how I know. :rolleyes:
You live on a 27' sailboat and you're trying to figure out a way to practice shooting for form, inside of it.
OR:
You got rid of your car and ride a motorcycle all year, (Winter included--14 degrees for my commute this morning) so you can have more money for bows/gear.
If three days after almost losing half your thumb to a miter saw u were at the archery shop to get stuff to make arrows for the bow u bought yourself as a get well present!
If You Buy Your OWN Birthday, Christmas, Easter, Arbor DAY Gifts by Searching the Sponsor Sites on TradGang!! :readit: :knothead: :archer:
Yeppers, If you throw your arm over on the other side of the bed, and you feel a graceful curve, and think, man o man, I am lucky to have this ....bow...

I really don't see any problem here guys. Sounds completely normal to me! :help:
When you get a hole in your sheet because arrow fell off the bucks rack thats above your bed.(still shavin sharp after runin through the deer)
I know you are an archery nut if you drive from Alabama to archery events in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, W Virginia, N. Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska and Pennsylvania.
Am I correct, Mike?
I don't know if that beats the original post but it has to be very close, John. MIKE
Getting your 26 yr. old son, who is in the Army, stationed in Alaska, a custom made Kalomi, when he deployed to Iraq, so he would have it to shoot a dozen arrows, when he came home from over there! Then keep it when he heads back to Alaska, gets married, and gets ready to deploy to Korea. All cause he wants to shoot a few arrows when he comes home for leave. For a wedding present, you give him a dozen custom made arrows, so he'll have some to shoot when he gets home. For his wife you give him a Dawg Ware quiver.
I feel thats totally normal. :scared: Now instead of going to his office, he comes to my range! :thumbsup:
NO I don't have a problem!

When your dogs are named for archery related things/people......Fletch, and Saxton
Your invited on a last minute 2 week out of state hunt: :readit:
And you eagerly reply: "We'll talk about it when I get back!" :thumbsup:
When your specialty condoms come in "Real Tree Camo"... :saywhat: :eek:
you're on this site at 3am cause you couldn't sleep waiting for your new bow that's coming the next month.
T Lail,you an I must of met somewhere,sometime.
I drive 1984 Isuzu bighorn,,,my two main bows are worth about 3 times more.
Thanks for the chuckle.
ED.
When you try to buy a cup of coffee at work and all you have for change is three bear medallions.
when your wife says "Its me or bowhunting- make up your mind!!!" and you instantly start crying about how much your going to miss her.........

Interesting...that is exactly me in a nut shell!
Lets see...3:47 am and I have a new bow coming sometime late next month.

when your wife asks "How many quivers does a guy need"
I was trying a shot with my back to the target where I had to twist clear around to shoot. Found my arrows in the snow with a pitchfork. :D
When you have the conservation department hotline on speed dial and you call every other week to see if anything is in season!!!!!
When the only time you come out of the bow shop is to sleep or go hunting, and your idea of relaxing is reading hunting stories on Trad Gang.
Gotta go the shop is lonely.
Bill
When you are a newbie reading this and thinking these guys are nuts, :) But....still unable to avoid going outside in feezing weather immeadiatly following to fling a few. ;)
When the cost of your new custom bow is more than your house payment. :bigsmyl:
......you are one of the "many" gang members that replied to one of the EIGHT pages on the post about the 2010 3Rivers Catalog!
if your wife is pleased the your new bow is only $897.00
if you just skinned 2 skunks to make your boys a back quiver each. (i still stink)
if you can take your hunting gear through a metal detector, undetected. Sticks and stones.
:archer:
After spending so much time afield, the Fam insisted on an intervention. I insisted we hold it at Cabellas.
Shrink; "Season started in October & you've been home a total of 3 days since. So, do you think you may have a problem?"
That's easy doc, "Sometimes I snapshoot!"
You know you have a problem and are a confirmed archery nut, 100% to the core, when you enter the bathroom, so focused on the new 3-Rivers catalog or the new Traditional Bowhunter Magazine, that you forget to double check to see that there is enough TP before you get "started".
this is some funny stuff.
If you are trying to talk the wife into selling the nice big house you built her and by one half the size. All so you can build a bigger shop in the back yard and build more bows. I almost got her.

You have as many bows as I do. :bigsmyl:
when your non-hunting, female Boss knows whats in season, because that's all you have talked about.
When one of your primary criteria for a new vehicle is that it must be long enough to accommodate your unstrung longbow.
When you've got TradGang in the background, regardless of what your doing on the computer, and you've got a bow in your car, regardless of where you're going! :knothead:
when the bow gets shotgun every time you and the family go to a shoot or on a hunt
When you hurt your back and your knee a mile from your vehicle, drag your butt back to the car, have a panic attack and think you are having a heart attack, leave your new longbow behind and then turn around and order a new Robertson Purist to replace it.
When your lab just looks at you when you walk by him in the house, then he hears you pickup one of your bows too go shoot and he's more excited than you are.Bow in hand means he gets to go outside.
...you master a second draw length so you can shoot that awesome old 'curve you found
When you have a rack and two shelves full of bows and your still looking for the next one!!
if most of your passwords for the company network are some cryptic variation of a bow maker and draw weight!
If you enjoy going to a fabric store with your wife because you love to think about how much stuff you could make with the material - fletch covers, rests, sight window padding, etc.
You droooooooooooooooooooool all over the keyboard when someone posts a picture of a bow and the wood combo's cause an increase of saliva production.
