Guest bruteshooter Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I know it's considered personal, and if so, feel free to not post a reply - if not, how much $$$ do you have invested in your bow (bow, sights, rest, 300 watt flood lights and mounting brackets , quiver etc.)? Not arrows, BH's, flecthing jigs, stands, blinds etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimPic Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Re: Justify costs If I were to replace my bows(6 custom longbows)I'd probably have to drop about $3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Re: Justify costs Bow $699 Custom String$50 Sights$70 Quiver$25 Rest:$75 Stablizer$20 Limbsavers$15 Wrist Sling$15 Peep$3 Total$ Close to a Grand in my hunting rig. As for Justifying it..........I can't. Just like alot of people can't justify buying a new car but they do anyway or someone that buys more house than they truely need. Some things in life you enjoy enough that you find a way to make it happen. Nobody says you have to buy a top of the line setup. It can be as high as you want it to go. Some local guys have setups that they have almost $2000 in. Truely amazing setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Re: Justify costs I would guess that when I am hunting, I am probably walking around with about $700 to $800 worth of equipment. Of course we're not talking about the thousands of dollars worth of bows (tournament and hunting bows) that I have on my wall downstairs that I have bought over the years, or the costs of that huge bundle of aluminum arrows that sit in the corner (probably well over 100), or the arrow building equipment, or the bow maintenance equipment , or all the tried and failed gadgets and trinkets that I have amassed over the decades. Add all that stuff up and you will quickly be into the multi thousands of dollars. Of course, since retirement, I have morphed into this cheap-skate old miser that wrestles with every new expenditure and has decided that what I have has killed plenty of deer, and unless it breaks beyond repair, should never be replaced. I no longer feel the need to have the latest and greatest of everything, but it took a whole lifetime to finally develop that attitude....lol.
