iei, there is some truth to it but there is still $ involved. I don't want diminished, this bow was not free and it's not why I have it. I wanted it, I bought it. I make a comfortable living, she does as well owning her own business, $ is one thing we do not discuss. Too many couples make it more of a deal than it needs to be. The other thing, I know next year, either on line or around my area I'm respected enough that I know the bow will go to good hands and I'll be even up.
