Hello. I'm JL and I'm a bow-a-holic...

I really am a blessed man. I have a rack full of quality bows and even a Blacktail Elite TD enroute as I type but I just can't stop checking the BOW CLASSIFIED section to see whats out there! It's addicting, I tell you! My wife told me the other day;

"Your just a Tradgang compulsive shopper..."

 :eek:  I think she is on to something here. Bless her for putting up with me and my buying/selling/trading habit.

I feel for you brother!  I can buy a new bow and be off the market for a good 24 hours, maybe.

I just have so much money laying around that I have to find something to do with it.  :D  

And if you believe that....

It helps alleviate the horror of the bills the mail-carrier brings. If it wasn't for stuff coming Priority, I would like my Carrier much less. That's my story for today at least.

 

Just sent payment for a "62" Cub. It's hard to stay away.

I always tell my wife that I could be spending money one a lot worse things!!!

I'm just a simple drinking man with a small bow-collecting problem.....

There are still two spots left on the bow racks that I made.  I just have to fill them.
My wife just doesn't see it that way, she thinks I should have built smaller racks.

My next one will be my last.LOL.......stabow

did I tell you guys about my new addition ...bows only room....

I can't go a day without looking at the classifieds.  I think, I have a real problem     , I mean my Wife thinks, I have a real problem

... mike ...     ...

We buy bows, they buy shoes.  just as much an addiction.  This of course is not directed at the ladies of our fine family.

Sounds fishy to me...    

Killdeer~ the Imelda Marcos of hunting boots and shooting stuff.

B B B cause I c c can't help myself. If I d d d don't I I I i'll... wait,I I I  I'll be right back. AAAH thats better. I'm now the proud owner of a new to me  recurve.  If I don't go straight to the classifieds EVERY time I log on here  I just don't feel right. All right ,All right. So I have a problem.  I can live with that.  SHHHHH nobody tell my wife.    

Beware the symtoms-

It starts all innocent like. You think "I'll just cruise on over to the classified to see whats out there,just lookin" then everything goes dark and fuzzy. When you come back around, your wife is screaming something in your ear about needing baby diapers and food and "If you ever...". Your thinkin...what the heck!?! and then you see a new bow on the rack  :eek:   Holy Cow! How did that get there!?!    :confused:  

Trying to hide bow shipping boxes is another sign. We have adjusted pretty well to that one. My honey will even call me at work and say "You got yet another bow waiting for you at home..." all boring like.

Then you get the wild idea to split out of work early so you can shoot it before it gets dark! Counterproductive thinking mister! Your needing the $$$ from work to help pay for the bows that keep magicly showing up at your house for some reason!

If you ever considered getting a line of credit to cover your bow buying habit, seek imediate help. For goodness sake, don't come here for sensible advice. This place is loaded with folks worse off then you could ever imagine and they will just fill your head with ninja bow aquiring  ideas on how to feed your cravings and even show you pic's of their "bow rooms"! E gads!

JL

Hey great idea! Maybe I can get work at some shows giving seminars on Ninja Bow Collecting!

 

I, too, have "accidently" won a bid on a bow when the previous one I bought was still in the mail.  But I found a cure for bow buying....called bow building.  Ever since I built my first longbow that turned out to be a suprisingly good shooter, a hardly shoot my store bought bows...and haven't bought another since.  Even thinking about selling some now since they are gathering dust.

I don't know what your talking about, I just bought a Morrison, Habu, and an ol adcock this month
