Title: My Big 5!! (with pics)
Post by: GREATBROWNKNOCKEMDOWN on March 25, 2011, 11:30:00 AM
Been into Trad Archery for a month over a year now, and i already own 5 Big River Bows,3 custom R/D longbows, 1 flatbow i got from a Tradganger here and recurve i got from an old timer i meet shooting one day. John McDonald makes some sweet shooting bows!!Is it wrong to have this many bows in such a short time??  Oh yeah, number 6 is ordered already , it will be a two pcs, takedown!   (http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/rafaelwoods/DSC00017.jpg)  (http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/rafaelwoods/DSC00015.jpg)  (http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/rafaelwoods/DSC00010.jpg)  (http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/rafaelwoods/DSC00007.jpg)  (http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/rafaelwoods/DSC00004.jpg)

Possibly- if you don not have enough love to go around. Trad bows need personal attention.

Lots of love to go around, and my shrink says "Whatever makes you happy"  And there is no doubt that Mr. McDonald thinks it's just fine.

Someone has to help support all the wonderful bowyers out there, past and present. Just too many great bows out there needing to be shot. I really like to do my part.
