What are you thinking, if it ant broke don't fix it

Keep it, no amount of money is worth selling a bow that has you shooting groups like that!

Keep it. Otherwise, you'll be able to add posts to threads here that start out "Bows I regret selling"...Been there, done that.

tell him three times what you paid for it, if he bites sell it... otherwise it wasnt meant to be

Glad to hear that, magic does not come around so often. Great choice!!  

I think I know the bow you are speaking of.  It was a great shooter and a looker to boot.  I was actually shocked to see it go up for sale so quick after the previous guy bought it.  

You could keep it and rent it to he store owner. It would be a win win for everybody  

I remember reading years ago that Rocky Miller, who made bows under the name Heritage Bows was quoted as saying that occasionally he would build a bow for someone that "he couldn't miss with" in his test shooting.  He built some great bows, and obviously used the same formula for each one; however, even he admitted that there was "magic" in some. When I get a bow that I shoot that well, I keep it. Not all bows are created equal, even from the same bowyer.

I bought a Foley Take down longbow last summer and it is an awesome shooter.  I wasn't going to buy it at first but my dad gave me some good advice:

"well you could save up and order one, but i've done that and the bow i got didn't shoot as well as the one I tried"

Last year i would have doubled my money to pay off some credit cards.  This year i wouldn't be willing to do such a thing, lol.

I say unless the money is needed keep the bow, the regret of selling is probably more costly than turning down such a fantastic deal!

KEEP IT!!      That Sounds like  THE BOW FOR YOU!!!   WHY RISK   PASSING IT OVER??  Hey, Money isnt Everything.     Some things  ARE  Truely  PRICELESS!! Take a Poll of the Folks here that have Sold a Bow, and have Regretted It Since!!  

keep it!! i would as i dont get to try many different bows like you guys can.

I'm bringing this thread back up, after doing some searches here for Foley.

I shot this particular bow just recently last week, it was almost Zen-like. And watched the owner shoot it as he says, he stacked 'em for sure. He ain't just whistling dixie.

It impressed me (and everyone else) so much that I'm thinking of getting one sometime later on, after chatting with Ron Foley recently. This particular bow just shot where you looked, something I've never quite experienced even with a few better bows, (mostly recurves).

If I could get assurance that a new Foley longbow just like this one would shoot the same, it would be a slam dunk, I'd do it tomorrow. But I gotta recon this a bit more.

What do ya'll think, would a copy by a great builder like Foley pretty much come out the same? I'd hate to spend major bucks otherwise. Looking for some warm fuzzy feedback here. LOL

ps: stickbowmaniac: I'm glad you kept it. Its easily worth twice that offer you got. Remember that...

I would keep it. that does not happen every day.

Good move!!!

I would probably agree....even an exact match from Ron may not shoot/feel the same for you.  I would probably keep it.....Oh who am I kidding! What about my reputation says I would keep it...        :D


I think you made the right choice.

If it still shoots that well for you after two weeks, it's worth more than $600, and it will save you far more than $600 in the long run.  

Way more likely to keep it if I enjoyed the bow. Some bows are just plain fun to shoot.

keep it even the same model bow made with the same wood will be different thats why the are one of a kind custom bows!

money comes an goes GOOD BOWS DONT. KEEP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no price tag on the ONE as far as I am concerned.Have let the ONE go twice,never again.

keep it
