Title: Just how bow crazy are you?
Post by: zipper bowss on February 18, 2012, 06:38:00 PM
I was sanding limb cores and just as I shut the machine down I heard the phone ring.  Well I could not get to it in time so I called the guy back. It turns out that he pushed the wrong number on his speed dial and did not really need to talk to me. After we hung up I got to thinking. Just how bow crazy is this guy that he has a bow builder on speed dial?   :D   I got a kick out of it because he reminds me of several folks here.    :readit:

That's not crazy.....that's insane. I'm crazy about bows and have a bunch......but nobody is on speed dial.In fact I don't even have speed dial,I still have a phone on the wall. Now on the other hand I do have Zipper and Chad Holm on my list for PM'S,Just in case I have a question........I do have 2 of each!!........   :thumbsup:

I don't have any bowyer on speed dial. I am not a bow junkie. As of right now I am working to get the money for the new 3 piece Tomahawk. Once I get it I will be done buying bows for a long time. Unless they come out with something that improves performance by a large margin and even then I don't think I would buy it as I am very happy with my Tomahawk.

No speed dial, but I do have Black Widow, Ron Pittsley, Cabelas, and Bass Pro Shops, along with a few local sporting goods stores entered into my contacts on my cell phone.

That looks to be the better question.

ZIPP911 When you just have to have it!   :thumbsup:

Maybe we should do a pole and see how many bow builders/archery suppliers the average tradganger has stored in their phone.

Up until last Christmas my phone would only store three speed folks, and no lists or anything.  Now, I have all the contacts that are stored on my desktop! The eight-year-old in me is amazed and at times, appalled.  The adult me is rather blasé and acts like this is the norm.

I have more Left-Handed trad gang archers in my contacts list than I have bowyers.

I am thinking about throwing my phone through my chronograph to see if I should keep it!

Don't let it go to your head.  Most phones issue a speed dial number to every listing in the directory.  

It could just be that your equally as important as the MIL or the proctologist.

:laughing:          :laughing:     Hopefully folks feel better about seeing their favorite bowyer than seeing the procotologist.

Thats a good one Bowwild.

Pete you are another one that I already knew were hopelessly bow crazy!

Hopefully if the guy that called sees this he does not think I'm making fun of him.That was not my intentions.

I put Black Widow on my phone's contact list a year ago when I ordered my bow.  Now the number is still there, and along with it is a pic of the beautiful bow they made me!  But if I called them enough to deserve having them on my contact list, they'd probably have to run me off.

I don't have any bowyers on speed dial.  But, I do have a couple of bowyers phone numbers memorized and I can call them real quick if the urge to buy hits me real strong.  In 1= years of stickbow shooting I've bought, sold and/or traded in the neighborhood of 200 bows.  But I'm not a bow-aholic like I was up until about a year ago!    ;)    :)    :biglaugh:

What if your bowyer is also your friend and you share more than a business deal?
