OL Adcock Bow for wife or child

[Gil Verwey]

Man OL has a beautiful bow he is selling on his site. A one piece he set the flight record with. 28# @ 28". I can't afford it right now or else my wife would be getting it. Just thought I would give you guys a heads up that may be thinking of buying a light weight bow for someone.

From the title of your thread I thought you were wanting to do a trade.

Deal. You may have both my wife and child for the bow.              
.......Sorry, couldn't resist. I saw that bow on Ol's site. Very nice bow at a good price.

I can't figure out how some women think. I took my wife to the Baltimore Bowman shoot last year. She decided she would like to try traditional archery. She has no upper body strength. I got her a 62" 20# Bear Cub for around $30. She was shooting pretty good with it. I saw OL's bow and thought I would get it for her for Christmas. This is what she said.

I told her, this was a one of a kind bow, she said, "I only need one bow"!

I told her it was very fast, she said, "I don't care how fast a bow is"!

Then she said, "How much is it?". I said it is cheap, only $550 plus shipping! She said, "Are you crazy, how much did you spend on the bow I already have?. I said $30, she said "thats all the bow I need".

Then she said, "How much were those bows you have?". I said, are the kids coming over for Christmas dinner or are we going to their house? She said they are coming to our house.

Thank God she doesn't know how much my other bows were. I think I will have to take that to my grave!  

Quick thinking with the Christmas dinner question extended my traditional bow buying for a little while longer!

Who can figure out such wrong headed thinking!

funny Gil.. i dont see the bow on O.L's site?

[Gil Verwey]

Steve its gone. It was still there yesterday so I guess someone bought it. Too bad I would have loved to get for my wife. I think once she got it she would have changed her thinking.
