I'm not an addict as yet, but I do like to look. I have an L, Stewart bow that I do love to shoot. I am a bit frighten that once I master this bow I might start to stray, and If I get caught my bow might want to divorce me. So  I am walking the straight and narrow at the present and resisting temptation, but it is difficult to say the least.   :banghead:

i'm glad i don't have the buying problem, i can only afford one girl, she is sweet, she can bend over backwards and twist all over the place and get me there everytime, she is sexy with great curves, she as mean as two headed rattle snake, and has a scary tatto, after all, she is a blackwidow!!!! there's no way i would cheat on her. you guys must be nuts, isn't taking care of, providing for and pleasing one woman hard enough? who in there right mind would want two? i guess it doesn't hurt to look if you don't touch, the temptation might be to much.   :knothead:

Guys, You can laugh if'n you want too? But I figure in "Just" shipping bows over the last 10+ yrs I have easily spent a nice dream  elk hunt...
God only knows how much more I have really spent on bows??? I think a few of us really have a problem with it???
Think I realized it when every 20th LH bow I see on here I have owned... And there is hardly a Lefty here I have not traded with??   :campfire:  
I have even got a bow., shot 10-20 arrows and put her up  for sell/trade with in hours. I've done this dozens of times. Some I was even able to mail back out the same day I got it.

60 hours that is; well almost inspirational. I have heard that Ralph once went 6 hours with out a glance at the classified, however that is a bit hard to believe.

I tried once and then just gave in, but maybe the cure is in sight. A Griffon you say; I am going to start the search immediately.

Once again thanks for all the help and inspiration.

I might still catch a little buzz off of the arrow and components classifieds as I can put a bunch of arrows to use in the same outing. I figure if I steer clear of "Ron The Enabler" Ill stay good.

If anyone needs a sponsor to "hold" onto their bows for a while send me a pm.

Good luck Izz, I'll be rooting for you. I know a few things about addictions. I wont judge yo no matter what happens  ;)

As I see it,a man (or woman) can have much worse vices.Every dog has to run to the end of his chain and bark!
That being said,I hope my wife does'nt find my latest addition to the herd.

Nobody likes a quitter............nobody.....You know what we should instead of buying and selling all these bows? We should just group them according to price and trade. The bows never leave the circle anyhow and they may even end up back in your hands in time. We could all save money by just trading! Of course I heard sharing bows is a great way to spread the disease....you should always start with a new bow.
