It was the same for me as well, I had been doing the bow and supply business since 1998 and running a meat market for a company that I was with for 28 years. It got to the point that I that I knew I needed to make a move because I had gone as far with both as I could like it was. So in September of last year I hung up my butcher knives for a drawknife and have not looked back. Doing it full time gives you so many options at doing it and other things as well. The thing that will make it work for you is that you know your business and its not like stepping out and starting up a bow business from scratch, you already have it going on.
For me it has allowed me to trap full time in the winter which is something that I have always wanted to do since I was a kid and the difference really showed on my fur check from this year.
Good luck and you will have a ball!
Mike

Everybody should be able to do what they like best. Congrats for a good wife and I am glad to hear that economy there is looking up.

We all can do with some more jobs around the world.

Happy for you.

Congratulations on what will no doubt be a wise decision. With construction business picking up, the economy can't be too far behind.

Right now I'm nearing the end of a "try everything" period and now need to unload 6 or 7 bows I bought used before ordering a another new one, but I checked out your website and I have to say you sure did that right!

I've heard people talking about "South" and his bows ever since I joined this group and I have heard nothing but good. I think there could be a new Banshee in my future.

Best of luck.

This might be good for me I have been looking at your bows thinking about buying. I want to shoot one first. I am going to try to make it out to Denton hill, are you going to be out that way?

Congrats South. Now is the time to make the big move to Colorado too. You know you want to.

That was fun shooting with you at CTAS. I look forward to the same next year.

Very happy for you South! Congrats to you and your family for being able to pursue what is so obviously a passion for you full time!

Best of luck!
