Jmac,
I've hit a point now where even though I buy maybe 2-3 bows a year........I wind up probably spendin the equivalent of a single bow every year when you consider selling the others. I lose some cash on the ones I sell, but make enough to cover at least 2 of the 3 I'll probably buy. If I want to play with the new stuff........the old stuff needs to find new homes. I absolutely can't afford to ADD 2-3 bows every year.
I have a boatlaod of accessories so that's not a concern. (Although I like new toys there as well)
Yep its expensive no doubt, but I don't drink or gamble or waste money on smokes etc. so I don't think the money I spend is looked on too harshly by the other half.
I would feel perfectly content to hunt for years with any number of the bows I've owned over the last few years, but I find a lot of fun in trying new things every year.

Now golf?.......there's an expensive pasttime. Imagine having to spend $30-$40 everytime you wanted to shoot your bow for a few hours![:-]
