Money comes and goes. Great shooting bows that "fit" you perfectly, on the other hand, aren't as easy to come by as cash.
Heads Carolina, Tails California...somewhere greener...somewhere warmer...or something soon to that effect...

Well hears what i did.I kkkkkeeeeeepppppptttt it.Couldn't dare get rid of a bow that shoots this good.Hears what i was offered.Bought the bow for $275.00 and i turned down $600.00

Figured even if i bought another Foley longbow it would not shoot as good knowing my luck.

The guy that wanted it was only going to shoot 4-5 shots with it.Needless to say when it shot where he was looking that turned into about 30-35 shots.Was great to know that a trad bow was so appreciated in a shop full of cams and wheels.Oh ya, almost forgot to mention i shot my 1st round of techno hunt with my longbow.Had a blast.Now i'm ready for some real furry critters.

Thanks for all the comments.Now i know i made the right decision.   :archer:    :clapper:    :clapper:

Shooting it that well....I say hang on to it as long as money not an issue.

Wow!  Consistently hitting a 2 1/2 inch target, you better have kept that bow.  A tennis ball measure 2.7 inches in diameter, so if you can consistently hit something smaller than that at 25 yards, not much to think about!
 Congrats on finding a bow that you can really shoot!

I would keep it and enter every longbow competition you can.  You would win them all by a large margin.

I would try and get my hands on another to see if it is just like it.  If not I would keep it.  I have had bows I shot real well then traded or sold them because I wanted a different weight, different woods or something only to find the new bow's grip just wasn't the same or the feel of the bow was not the same, and I just didn't shoot it like the other.

If you are shooting those kind of groups, I would keep the bow and enter every competition I could find!

Seller's remorse. Avoid it.

That all depends two things:

1) Does my wife know how much I paid for the bow?

2) Did she hear the offer?

A yes to both of those questions either means a sold bow, or a nice present for my lovely wife!    :)

Defintly going to keep her.I made this mistake once before.Had a acadian woods 3 piece recurve 54lb@28" that i had traded.I'm still regreting it.I think the reason i shoot my Foley so good is that all my previous bows were 54lbs or better.This 1 is 47lb@28" very comfortable poundage to shoot.I had bought this bow for everyday shooting and 3D.Figured it would be less where and tear on my shoulders and joints.Man i'm sure loving it.Now its my #1 goto bow.Can't wait to be in the stand with her.
