Does anyone else have this problem? Once you finally decide to bite the bullet and cough up the $$$$ for some new "stuff", you have to have it yesterday and waiting for it to show up in the mail is shear torture!
Yep!! Can't stand waiting. :bigsmyl:
Yep, the #2 reason I don't buy custom bows. Haha
Same here, I have a Holm Made River Runner that should ship Monday and even though Chad got it done way faster than I expected it has felt like forever. And to make things worse I'm going out of town for some work training this week so it will be here and I won't.
I look for it to show up days before I know it will be here. jt85 I don't know if I could hang on that one. That would be pretty tough.
It bugs me the first couple of days and the last couple of days. In between I tend to forget about em.

Yup..got a Wes Wallace that should be done any day now, to the untrained eye, I would appear sorta calm... On the inside, I,m like a sugar crazed little kid waiting on a new toy, checking the e-mail 7-8 times a day, scootin straight home from work to check the mailbox..
I have a tendency to be a little too patient....
Ordered a custom 2 piece Caribow Featherhorn last fathers day. I'm itching for it to gey here. No idea when it will be done, but Abe figured roughly a year when I ordered it. Should be here soon, right? I only check his website twice a day to drool now.
Yep I hate waiting! For me, it's like the night before Christmas waiting on Santa clause
I have to wait 1 year for my Timberghost. It will be ready around August, counting down....
I was the same way before I started building bows...well, still am with other things.
This is my take on it though: Some of the most enjoyable hunting adventures I've been on started over a year in advance of the actual hunt. I was able to research and plan things out. I would imagine the outcome over and over. In reality, I enjoyed the trip for the entire time. Sometimes the time before the trip was even better than the trip itself.
Some of the spur of the moment trips have left me feeling a little empty...but still better than working.

I want it and I want it NOOOOOW! :banghead:
BigJim has a very healthy way of looking at things.
I agree, the biggest and often best part of a trip, new bow, new gun, new car, etc is the anticipation. Sometimes the hunt or bow even lives up to its billing :)
What's even worse,is not having any extra money for any extra goodies. With a 16 yr old and a 13 yr old still at home they are are not only depleting my wallet but putting me I debpt. Just in the last month $300 truck repair for sons truck $175 for daughters dress $135-185 for tux for prom
Not to mention homeowner crap $100 for new fencing $100 for plugged sewer. $200 for dogs shots.
Kinda like Jim's philosophy except I'm fantasizing and imagining what it will be like buy myself a little something. :( whaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Ha! Just wait until you have grandkids!!
Grandkids and a wife who wants to be the "grandmother of choice" :)
I like Jim's Philosophy... Enjoy The foreplay in life... :readit:
I have the patience of Job when I'm waiting for a buck to show up, or a fish to bite, things like that. Waiting for a package to show up, especially outdoor related, that's another story. :D

I'm that way with custom knives, but TK is pretty quick with a new blade.

Oh I have a twenty seven yr old too with a girlfriend of 3 yrs it could happen anytime. Ohh my chest hurts thinking of it.
As we say in The Netherlands: "Owning the toy is the end of all joy". Hard to translate but you get the idea...
I am enjoying my ride too.... Still have to wait till August for my Timberghost... When I saw the beautiful veneers from The Would Vault, I asked Kent if it was OK to pick veneers from Curt and had them shipped to Timberghost. No problem. Curt advised me to wait till he had new stock and gave me first choice... I was like a child on christmas morning, picked some stunning veneers and had them shipped to Timberghost...
I discussed recently the riser... It seems Kent redesigned the riser it is more gracefully and has the I-Beam design. If possible, Kent will use Mytrle on the riser to match the veneers.
Still thinking about a stippled grip or not....
It will have a bolt on Thunderhorn small fry bowquiver, so I will contact the good folks from Thunderhorn to make matching colorscand have it shipped to Kent...
Man, the anticipation...
Had a USPS slip in the mailbox yesterday, stopped at the post office this morning, picked up a long tube from Oregon! Stopped at home long enough to open it up, new Wes Wallace Royal!!!
Back to work, all I can think about is stringing it up and shooting it, think this is worse than waiting for the bow to show up, twitching like a junkie, oh God I got it bad!!...
Gonna be a lonnnnnnngggg day...
