Addiction
Are you guys addicted to bows and bow crap like me? Got into the spare room today. I have 10 compound bows. 7 Hoyts, 1 Pse, 1 Reflex, and one Mathews. Anywho, i have 52 arrow rest(5 drop aways), 15 sights, 19 stabilizers, about 100 books, 32 peep sights, 40 strings and cables (Many of which don't fit any bow i have ever had) Tuning tools out the bung hole, 4 nock pliars and i haven't used brass nocks for years, . And this is the stuff i can find. Not to mention all of the crap i gave away to a buddy of mine. I have it bad, when i order out of a catalog its at least a $200 order. Bought an extra peep sight with the last order, i already had 2 backups. I need help. Do you have it as bad as me?

My friend, you need to join Bowhunters Anonymous!! LOL
I had it as bad as you at one point in time. In all seriousness, it's an illness that can cause serious problems. If you get too addicted to it, and you appear to already be there, then you're never satisfied. And when you're never satisfied, you try harder, and harder, until one day you wake up with TARGET PANIC!!!!! Get help before it's too late!

Geez, I thought I had a lot of stuff. You could start your own pro-shop!
I'm looking for an Extreme Sniper sight... see one in the pile not bolted to a riser? New CSS Encore on the way and it needs some accessories.

I think I'm in for some trouble here at home. The wife says she wants to clean out my closet. Imagine that, she wants to hang coats in there and make the other one a toy closet for the boy. Wait til she sees all the toys I have

RE: Addiction
I like my gear, but I usually rob Peter to pay Paul to get most of it so I have a whittled down small assortment of the "Good Stuff" usually on hand.
I'll tell ya what, fly fishing,flytying,various gun hunting,and golf combined with archery and bowhunting? [:-]
Yeah.....I got stuff.

Hi,
My name is Bob and I'm an arrow-aholic! Got about 4 dozen and just ordered another dozen[&o]. Only have three bows, plus the boys got one and probably 25 broadheads...not including my collection.[:@] A few sights, stabilizers, and such. I love to tinker with stuff so I make my own arrows. Got lots of vanes, feathers, nocks, inserts, tips. And a bunch of other stuff.
Yep, I'm an addict.
