VTbowman Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Done buying new crap for bow hunting that is. LOL Seems like every year I get sucked into new products, arrows, tips, etc. My old stuff still works and worked real well getting me my deer in previous years. I know my wife would appreciate not spending $500 per year on crap I already have or can make do with.. For em, I guess I am just sick of re-doing everything, resighting in new sights and arrows, etc. and gaining nothing more then what I already had... Yea I like new gadgets and stuff, but don't need them. I am actually going the other way tech-wise if truth be known. Been making my own bows and playing around with traditional equipment and shooting styles... Although buying that stuff is pricey too, you can get away with a lot less.... Esepcailly if you make your own... JMO But I am all done..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Re: I\'ve HAD IT! I am done!!!! When I get done each year I look at what I can buy for next year and note the changes. So far I think I want to try mechanicals next year and will research which ones to buy plus I want to re-fletch my arrows. Other than that I am happy...then again that hunting aisle at the store is so dang tempting. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Re: I\'ve HAD IT! I am done!!!! Could come up with a never ending list of stuff I would like to have. Could probably even justify using a lot of it. Just have to see what I can afford when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTbowman Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Re: I\'ve HAD IT! I am done!!!! I hear that. I went into last spring with themind set I was not buying anything "big" or unneeded for hunting. By the end of summer I had a new pop-up blind, which I used once, 2 dozen arrows, went from 100g tips to 125g tips, a multi fletcher plus all the crap to fletch my own arrows, then I started to make my own bows which required me to have a $50 set of books to teach me that.. Man I was over $300 in crap I did not even need. Glad I got the stuff, but truely, it did not make me any better of a hunter.... or really help me get by deer...

CTBowMan Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: I\'ve HAD IT! I am done!!!! That's great, hey I'm a second year bow hunter, currently accepting donations of unwanted/unused items, I know my wife wouldn't mind if I received the items that way rather than buying the new stuff and paying way to much money for them, lord knows I wouldn't be upset NOT hearing her say to me..."YOU NEED WHAT? AND IT COSTS HOW MUCH?...I DON'T THINK SO!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzorp Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: I\'ve HAD IT! I am done!!!! I hear ya' man, was sameway for a way. But I came out with two things to help the mrs screaming at me. 1 - Doing what we all did as kids, I actually spill my spare change into one of those battery operated coin sorters. Belive it or not, come bow season, I got about $150 in change. I usually use this to buy my licenses and permits. 2 - I got myself a Cabela's and BassPro credit card. I use them on business trips as well as normal things. Depending how much you use it. So far, every early fall, I can log into either one on-line store and buy something either free or with a heavy discount. But like others have mentioned, I'm set with what I got, it took time mind you, but that's what make it's fun !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
