since I've bought a bow, new or used. in fact I only have one bow on the rack, my Centaur. Thought I was cured. But I'm getting the itch for a recurve :readit:
Wow Larry....a year???
It's about time you came back to your senses...
I'm pretty sure that is a record, at least it would be for me.
What does that feel like Larry?
Did you go through terrible withdrawls and shakes?
I really need answers...lol
Me too .. I need help!!!!
Scratch that itch Larry and get yourself a recurve :D
being as how I've shot darn near every bow out there the withdrawls and shakes weren't to bad...
but with some new designs coming out just over the horizon, I'm fearful I may fall off the wagon!
I think it's only been 364 days but who's keeping track :knothead:
Larry, I shot with you last winter and you had the most beautiful bow I think I have ever seen. You do not need a new bow, that bow was a work of art...

Mudd, I seriously doubt you will be having withdrawals anytime soon, LOL! :biglaugh:
Be strong Larry and resist the temp....aw heck.Go and get yourself a new toy.If you don't like it you can always sell it to one of us real cheap.Just sayin'. :readit:
Larry,
While not being able to say that I have already shot EVERY bow out there, I have gone through quite a few in the past few years. I am down to only two bows........both recurves and by the same bowyer.
There is only ONE bow that I have sold that I would desperately like back and it is a longbow. I shot it as well as anything that I have ever owned and "thought" that the grass would be greener on the other side of the fence.
I WILL own another Zipper SXT......with longbow limbs, something 64" long with some carbon and foam core in the limbs. I just shot it to darn well to not own another in the future. Times are tough right now for everyone and I am no exception but some things just have to be tried, if for no other reason to be able to ADMIT that we were WRONG. :campfire:
BEST of luck........in making your decision.

Hey larry I hunted with you down at Ray's last January and I've bought 2 used bows and have 2 more new bows on order. Do I need help,maybe we need to form a support group.
Harry
You poor poor man,the withdrawls must have been viscous,buy a bow you'll feel better.
So ......what are you thinking about Larry!? Long one, short one, a work horse or a Thoroughbred? Lots of stuff to pick from!!!!! Good luck!!
I knew I hadn't seen you around the classified section anytime recently! What brand are you looking at for your next purchase?
A whole year! You should buy a new bow to celebrate :D
I would LOL
there's a few different makes that have caught my eye. think I'm going to have to wait till some reports start coming in after K-zoo.... if I can make it that long!
Just remember Larry,your getting older.At your age, never buy a bow when your feeling pumped.Order it when your feeling beat up.
That Centaur must look awful lonely on the rack.
Larry...They are a bit pricey but think about a Border recurve if that is the direction you are going.
Idon't believe there is a cure Larry, your bow buying was simply in remission.....
The question I have is........I know you can shoot, but did you see any improvement shooting only one bow?
David
Larry,
You could wait until January when the new widow comes out. The reports I have heard go something like its called a KB after Ken Beck, and it is going to be a one piece take down with interchangeable longbow and recurve limbs with a straight, pistol grip.
Of course, the rumors may be a bit confused.
I here ya Ray, 45lbs at 27" is the max these days.
David, I'm going to say the answer to that is yes...sad but true. But I figure one nice longbow, and one nice recurve and with the proper tuning I should be able to get them both to shoot to the same point of impact.And if nothing else bouncing back and forth between two bows has got to be alot easier than 5 or 6 !
I'm at a little over a year with my Centaur triple carbon too, and it's about the only bow I shoot now. I have 2 Chimeras I shoot occasionally, but the 3C is tops for me. Was tempted by a few recurves, but I didn't like them nearly as much as my Centaur. I think it's the perfect bow for me. But one does get the new bow itch, so I just picked up a longer, slightly heavier triple carbon. As a back up of course :D :D
Mark
I here ya Mark, I couldn't be happier with my triple carbon, I told Jim he made a fatal mistake when I got it, in that he out did himself and I saw no need to buy any more from him :eek:
I'm hoping I can find a 'curve that pleases me as much as it does.
:scared: :scared: :scared: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :dunno:
A year. Do not know if I could do that,LOL.
Larry I think you should get something one piece around 55lbs in Osage. Maybe a RER. Just have them put my name on it in case it's not quite what you're looking for :bigsmyl:
Larry,
That would be called a relapse! :thumbsup:
I'm working three bows at the moment. Please don't ler her find out... :pray:
Just to throw this out since you apparently like bows from Montana. Dan Toelke has a new form for his recurve limbs that go on his Lynx riser. Mine have not arrived yet but Dan says the limbs really smoke an arrow.
Keith
Larry, I think you still have about three weeks to make it a year. You have more self control than I do. Centaurs, Griffins, Toelkes and Widows oh my!
:biglaugh:
Go ahead and feed that hunger,you only live once.
Just be sure to leave pics for the rest of us. :biglaugh:
