Title: Made it official
Post by: GreyGoose on December 09, 2012, 08:45:00 PM
Had not picked up the wheeled machine since the longbow came in the box almost two years ago.  I finally got around to putting the compound up for sale last weekend, and sold it yesterday to a Navy guy looking to get into bow hunting.  But I swear, I thought I'd lost the sale when he he asked if he could try one of my longbows!

Oh, no indeed, like I said, it's been years since I even shot anything non-trad.  Not sure why I didn sell before.  Now, if I could just use the money to buy some time to hunt......

ti-guy - it's probably a good thing I don't do sales for a living, but yeah, I jotted that one in the mental notebook of lessons learned. I guess I COULD have tried to switch him to a Toelke if needed, but fortunately after missing the backstop a couple of times, he was content to leave teh Trad stuff to me  - for now!

Man I have two wheeled bows and they are in shambles picked them up at garage sales years ago.  I have been shooting long bows and recurves for seven years or so. I finally just ordered my first custom bow.  Now the wait.  You won't be sad you got rid of it.
