Title: This website and all you bowhunters are going to cost me a LOT of money....
Post by: archer66 on December 29, 2012, 07:59:00 PM
I've been reading posts and checking out sponsors and I've come to the conclusion that I need to work some overtime....

High on my list to name a few....

A new recurve OR TWO

Lots of cedar arrows

A wool pullover made by the Asbells

More woodsman broadheads

A big Jim Quiver


I found something I like on darn near every sponsor's page.  This is a great website....LOVE the sponsor lists and the ads....and of course the content is VERY good as well.

Get used to it. It goes with the addiction. But it beats hanging out in bars.

Gee, that's kind of a skimpy list you have there. Just wait till you have been at it a few more years. Then you will REALLY build a "must have" list of goodies. But there are far worse hobbies that you could spend your money on. At least trad gear is truly neat stuff, and you will meet some great people on this site.

Just wait till you get addicted to the classifieds. Then you will be searching the "How To" section for the how to pick a divorce lawyer thread. Shop in small increments that way they dont notice...LOL

You will learn all the tricks like getting a 70" tube from the mail truck into the house without the Wife seeing it.

This is an acquired skill and not to be attempted by first timers.   :bigsmyl:
