Bow Purchasing Psychology 101

[Old York]

The beauty of my Quinn Stallion is how well it performs for what I paid for it.
Any dings or scratches to it only enhances its character.

First off, I don't buy any that don't shoot good. Thats why I only have Morrisons. I have a bunch of purdy ones and one thats so ugly it's my favourite! I'm done with all the fancy stuff - I hunt hard with my bows and I'm forever makin a mess out of all that purdy stuff. My newest one is all black phelonic with black carbon/foam limbs and it's fantastic. Every time I ding it or scratch it I get out some wet and dry and a little spit and it's fixed. No more skins and fancy stuff for this guy, been there done that.

Well, I haven't seen many ugly bows.  To me, some of those customs with fancy woods do nothing for me, and are not beautiful in my eye.
I have some nice prints on my walls that are great to look at.

I think there is nothing more beautiful than a nice 1960's era Kodiak, or 67 Kodiak Magnum...or a 1960 Grizzly...none of which have clear glass and grainy exotic wood running everywhere.  If you can't see beauty in an old vintage bow, you will probably think Ansel Adams photography was plain.  Some of those "beautiful bows" that guys rave about give me a migraine if I look at them for more than a few minutes.  

Beauty is still in the eye of the beholder, and one must have an objective look to recognize it when he sees it.

Tell me this bow isn't beautiful, and we will need to have a discussion 8^).
