So many bows, so little time...

Well, I sent the Massie back. Nice bow, but too pricy for me..........but.......well.......I ordered another crusader. Help me. I am weak.

The Crusader Virus is evil indeed A man can never have too many bows

[Lilhunter]

the real question is how many crusaders should be allowed in one house hold

[john nail]

if you have too many, it' s time for a bigger house!

John,

Was the Massie a longbow or recurve? Are those Crusaders that good? Can you compare them to any other longbow?

[john nail]

the massie longbow was fine. Jeff massie is a fine fellow to talk to. The bow was just not what I wanted.
Crusaders are reasonably priced, perform well and well made.
It wouldn' t be fair of me to compare bows on an open forum. If you have specific questions, feel free to e-mail me.

I' ve ordered 2 new bows. A Palmer double carbon and a Blacktail Elite. The trouble is that I;m shooting my Checkmate Hunter so well now, I' m wondering why I want to change. More bows...More Bows.....More bows..... Someone stop me before my wife throws me out! Dick

John,

In due time, running out of room anyways, between the animal pictures we have framed, mounts, and the wifes paintings she likes, we are about out! Not to mention I could use a bigger bowhunting room LOL

John,

You could always get down to basics like I do. The first two trad bows I bought I gave to my son and son-in-law when I bought three and four, respectively. When I bought four, I sold three. I have now bought no. 5, a Black Thunder, and I' m going to sell no. 4, a seven month old Crusader.

I can' t justify more than one bow, until I start building them myself!!
