Folks, it has come to this, I must choose between my archery business or my "real" job.

For about 3 years, I have spent almost every hour not at my real job in the shop or packaging stuff to ship.

I have loved working with bowyers to get them the best wood and supplies I can .

I will be closing the first of March , I will finish all business I have started as of right now, but will be taking no more on.

After getting organized a bit, I will begin selling off the stock in the shop.

It has been great, but I gotta slow down a little and smell the coffee.

Possibly when I retire from the other job, I can resume business if you will have me, but right now there just isn't enough of me to do both.

Thank you very much for your business and support. I've enjoyed it more than you will ever know.

Thanks!!
kenny

You deserve a break. I know your skills will be missed though. Glad to hear your taking some Kenny time.

Been there done that.
You are making the right choice my friend.
You will now get to enjoy archery again!
Your reputation will hold strong for when and if you choose to start up again.

I'm sure you're making the right choice Kenny. When you're done building bridges I'm sure you can get back to building bows.

Good luck to you Kenny!

Often times hobbies which have become business, consume one's time so completely that the passionate flame is extinguished.

Seek the passage which leads to the greater realization of contentment. The wind will blow into your face as the years pass you by.

Listen to the enduring call that beckons.

Perhaps, it is the call of your heart.

I don't see how you have done a full time job and your archery business both as long as you have! It has to be exhausting! I only build three or four a year tops and don't even grind my own lams and sometimes it seems like I don't have any me time.
I look at it this way-if you weren't such an honest man who treats everyone as if they were his most important customer you wouldn't have this problem! I've enjoyed every transaction with you and you always answered all my dumb questions without making me feel like they were dumb questions! Thanks Kenny and God bless you and your family! Mike

The woods from a tree stand smells much better than coffee any day, maybe you'll find more time for woods smells Kenny.

Enjoy your new found time Kenny! Thanks for helping everyone out over the years.

Its very hard to do both, I did it for 15 years before I got to the point that one had to go. I chose the other and left a job that I had for 28 years. Now after 2 1/2 years full time in the archery business I am still so busy that I don't know how I did it all those years before, so I know where you are at Kenny. Its all good and you will have time to enjoy making one for yourself and hunting again!
See ya around I hope,
Mike

Well it sounds like you have chosen "Life"... And no-one can blame you for that... Work to live, as apposed to live to work is a good motto to always have in mind... You have made the right choice
