I think this will be fun.

I was sitting at my desk at work and perusing my photobucket page and got to remembering all the bows I have owned in my life so far and WOW I have gone through some bows. I have owned over 84, 4 of which I still have.

So lets list them:

Such sweet memories. Yes, that is a bunch of bows and money, but you cannot take it with you and it is the only vice I have ,this bow shooting/hunting passion.

So who else has this passion?

Danny,I am with you on this,I just can't let them go so I still own most of the one I bought.Someone told me you can take with you, on the heaven green priries, all the bow you want!!

Guilty.

Yes Felix, I am sure there are bows in heaven for archers.

Hey fellows, are we counting the ones on order as well?      

Danny,I think your list is a tad short.  

LOL!  How many times have you been married?  You is fickle!

So far this lifetime:

LOL, you could be correct Mike, but I am getting long in the tooth and my memory is not what it used to be, but I think I am pretty close.

O, forgot about the bear alaskan and browning.

Variety is the spice of life they say.

No comment

This sort of evidence might be held against me...I plead the 5th.

Five months, three bows

Checkmate Beaver Creek
Acadian Woods Recurve

I am trying to put my hands on a Thunderchild and the new Bear T/D right now.  And I will always long for a Acadian Woods 56" treestick with bling until I finally make the trip to Tim's.

Not that many:

Bear Cheyenne
Bear Grizzly
Spirit Longbow
Lost Creek Longbow

1- Bear sold
1- Shakespeare still have

1- Wing traded
1- No Name recurve (broke and still have)
1- Massi Longhorn (on loan to a newbie)
