I'm Dan and I'm a bowaholic! Got my miller in but in the meantime I'm waiting for my North Star. Myrtle riser boo lams burle maple veneers . And a jet tiger maple riser yew over boo. Life is good. ,
My name is Steve aka "Tradcat" and I'm a bow-aholic too ! My current "stash" is a GN Bushbow, cocobolo riser with red elm limbs 62" 55# @ 27" and a Robertson Purist 64" 58# @ 26" and, coming soon, a JD Berry Taipan, Morningstar or Vixen. I can't decide what my next "drink" will be... I NEED HELP ! Maybe a 12 bow program will help ? Anybody got a couch I can sleep on ? LOL

My name is Keith. Im a bowaholic. I cant help it. But I dont want to be cured:)
My name's Paul and I'm a bowaholic and I've been called a lot worse!
When you have owned over 200 bows you can call yourself a bowaholic, LOL, a couple don't count. I resemble that remark. I cannot even remember all the bows I have ever owned, makes my head hurt just thinking about it,LOL.
There is a cure for being a bowaholic. I have it and it is going make my other bows become dust collectors. I need to thin the herd again, but my wife says that I am not giving away anymore bows. I was up to twenty some then down to four then up to twelve. I am only going to shoot the one until it dies or I die.
Hey pavin what's the one?
I am worst than Danny,as many bows but all still on my stable. :banghead:
I'm in remission, I won't buy another, but that doesn't stop me from making them.....different type of addiction.
Well I feel better - I thought I had a problem but guess not....still under 50 bows owned and only 11 in stable now. Guess I better get to buying and selling!!!!
I have found a cure, at least temporarily. A keep looking at the classifieds but have been able to resist buying for a while. My secret .... Working on building my own. But that may be like an acololic with a still. :rolleyes:
Mike, your still a bowaholic:)
I'm Coltin and I have a.....200!?! Dam! I guess I don't have a problem. I'm actually kind of a sissy. ;)
The ONLY Cure is: NO MONEY!!! :( But you are in some Good Company anyway!! :thumbsup:
MCNSC, building your own does knot help...trust me. jA MEs
Hi, my name is Norm. I have thousands of dollars worth of muzzle loaders, rifles, compounds and reloading equipment all locked up and dusty cause I got a devloved an addiction thing for forty year old bows.
I am not a boeahollic and I do not have a problem. Honest I can quit anytime I want, I have quit many times in the past.
I'm worse than Danny...but this new math is too much to think about. Just have fun. Y'all could be into more dangerous avenues like fast cars and fast...well whatever :)
Clearly you guys don't understand. If there is no problem to admit to, then there is no problem....right?
I do not have a problem.

Hello my name is Keith I'm not a bowaholic BUT my buddy 1/4 Away Fred is and he needs help... :laughing:
Sorry Fred but somebody's got to help you...
All in fun Fred... :scared: :knothead:
Keith , bowaholic sounds so harsh, I prefer to think of myself as a bow connoisseur ......:0)
I think I am cured .
I am going to sell one of my bows and not buy another one . :rolleyes:
I am making progress on my addiction, I think. I have reached the end of the "must have" bow list. The only problem is that it now brings me to the "I want" list, which is a mighty long one.
I am not a boeahollic and I do not have a problem. Honest I can quit anytime I want, I have quit many times in the past.
I truthfully have had more different kinds of bows then I can remember... A guy has to try them to see if he likes them... right???
I'm actually in a "Thin the herd" mode for the most part... I've found my bow, or style of bow anyway... that works for me... Low grip Widow T/D curves with SBD strings... And with the same working limb on all... 60" MA/PMA, 58" SA/PSA, or 56" PCH... basically the same limbs on all just different riser lengths... They all shoot the same for me, and that is what I'm sticking to... for the most part...
Although, right now I've got one trade working for a 56", 56# Timberghost... Which will make it in the low 60# range at my draw... Had to make the deal after all the great reviews on that bow... Have to see one for myself... Can't fault a guy for that can ya???
But, the thinning will continue, and the way the market is now... I can see some trades possibly happening... But, just a warning to you all... I'll be picky, as I'm pretty set in the style of bow I'll be looking for! ;)
But, ya, I don't have a problem... ;)

I'm a bowaholic that can't afford to support his habit. :banghead: So for now it's just the three that I have, but I'm trying to figure out a way to get a TimberGhost, too.
I hope that there won't be an intervention... :eek: :nono:
I swore I wouldn't buy another one but I am so diseased :banghead:

I Cold turkeyed buying bows. Now I'm a limbaholic! And a dabbling riserholic. Seems like the methadone system of bowaholicism.
Just tell yourself that you are no longer collecting bows, you are just collecting pretty wood. Once you have a bow that shoots best for you, that you will not ever wear it out and you stopped thinking that a different bow will fix everything and that you have come to know that fixing yourself comes first, you will be cured. My addiction is to assemble two dozen of the most perfectly matched for spine, staightness and weight, perfectly grained cedar arrows possible. I have a feeling that I will have a lot of pheasant arrows before I am done.
Gee, people make fun of me and I only have 40! Cripe! That is not counting the one that is currently on order from River Raisin Bows. When I think I have enough I start buying them for my wife, my kid, by grand kid, the neighbor......LOL.
