Only buy a new bow, when I really need a bow.

Set a budget, and stay with it. I find adequate bows that are not in the top ten.

With archery, I know my status. I enjoy archery, but I'm not a full timer with archery, don't participate in 3D tournaments, and never needed the latest and the greatest.

Never buy on credit with a credit card. Only pay cash. It's amazing what you only really need, and really need to spend, when the cash gets taken out of the wallet.

With my buying system, when I bought I was 200 % sure. It's amazing how long you keep products using this system. I value what I paid and I keep the product in shape.

And I can well remember the moths flying out of the wallet, on my "big" purchases.
