Title: A warning for all the bowaholics!
Post by: Mudd on March 26, 2013, 09:39:00 PM
Hi my name is Mudd and I am a bowaholic.

I thought I was in remission but alas I have had a relapse.

I tell you as a warning, if it can happen to me, it can happen to you as well.

Man! Does it ever feel good to get a fix...lol

God bless,Mudd

PS: I'm working on showing the evidence against me.

So, what is your point? Did you really assume you would somehow avoid the obvious. Seems as though you have not figured out you are preaching to the choir. Ha!

The biggest difference between a bowaholic and other addicts is they can't sell there fix once they've used it. Ain't it grand.
Title: Re: A warning for all the bowaholics!
Post by: Flying Dutchman on March 27, 2013, 03:23:00 AM
Well, the difference between a pessimist and an optimist: a pessimist is afraid that he can't resist and will buy some more bows, an optimist hope he does.... :)

This was my last temptation I couldn't resist  :dunno:  :

although my wife thinks i have a serious addiction - she has said many many times that she is glad this is my addiction.  I take that as being supportive of my illness and that i need constant fixes to keep the illness under control.  I think she is starting to get tired of taking boxed to USPS for me.......

Dang Juan,

I have not seen you on here in a long time, how ya doing?
Title: Re: A warning for all the bowaholics!
Post by: on March 27, 2013, 04:45:00 PM
I just got in from shooting a Schulz that I have had for 38 years, after I shot my new Schulz(it still seems new to me, I got it in 1989). Then I see this, I thought you had an Expedition.  One would think that would have been the end of the the bow buying.  I think you need an intervention.  But then that sage did look nice.

Post by: Muss03 on March 27, 2013, 07:03:00 PM
Here is the problem with me. I get a Hill style bow, shoot it like crazy, get frustrated as I can not shoot it as well as a recurve. Sooooo I trade it, sell it, or keep it and get another recurve. THEN, I regret it and get consumed with wanting another Hill that I see on the classifieds. It is a bizarre, never ending cycle. Am I the only one like this? Something about the Hill style bows I guess, but if I had only shot one bow all this time who knows how good I would be with it now? Maybe I am just as obsessed with the buying selling and trading?

Great looking bows Mudd. I must see a couple of bows weekly come up that I'd really like to buy but you just can't buy them all. I've got a pretty good harem now but the itch does still strike frequently.

Mudd, I am curious, how heavy are those arrows you are shooting from that Sage?  I have watched your videos with you alone, and then you and your buddy shooting the Sage and that is one quiet bow!  Perfect poundage as well!!  Also, what kind of "thump" or handshock do you get on that bow?  I have only shot R/D longbows and have toyed with the idea of trying a hill style, but too many say they arent fond of the thumping they give them.  Will just have to try one someday.  Thanks for the input and I love watching your videos.  Don

I am an addict.........and I do not need any help. I am happy and content with my addiction. My wife might say otherwise.........except she is addicted to dresses so she keeps quiet!   :bigsmyl:  

It is a win-win situation!

Thanks for the kind words.

I don't own a bow that is anything but "dead in the hand" including "The Sage".

I shoot the same arrows out of all my bows, 55-60 spine 500 grain.

I would tell you the tip weight, if I remembered...lol (maybe 145 gr)

God bless,Mudd

For your next bow purchase try to find one that will give you a SHOCK TREATMENT! (either the price or when you loose an arrow!)
