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.

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:

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.
