Title: ohh no!
Post by: doulosparachristos on May 25, 2011, 06:20:11 pm

So i haven't shot a traditional wood bow in nearly 15 years. However, i decided to start making my daughter a bow in the garage,.... yeah you can guess it, im hooked. Is there any hope to recover from this new addiction or do i just follow the grain and keep making bows? anyways, i glad to see there is a forum such as this, im totaly excited, ther is sooo much to learn.

Roy.

MwaHahahahaha....welcome to the loony bin >:D

I've been at it for a couple years and my zeal for bowyering is stronger than when I started. It can completely take over your whole brain 24/7.

Didn't you see the sign" beware" when you turned down this path   :D

Nice to have you here, I dont think they have came up with a ten step plan yet. You might be able to cut back a little if you start knapping ??? Your hooked thats all there is to it ;D. We love pictures too so if you feel up to it get up some pics of the little one shooting her new bow.

Welcome to the addiction . . .  er .  . . hobby ;)    It's scientifically proven that once you've made a bent stick AND joined PA, your situation is pretty much hopeless.  I think if i lost both arms, i'd still find a way to make bows with my feet ;D  Y'all agree?

Happy bowyer'n!

The only cure is to make another bow.  Of course it is a temporary cure.  It only lasts for a few days, then you will need to start on another one.

 No cure, I called myself taking a couple years off bow making recently and was looking at the stack of bows I accumalated durring my time off. Having a lot of fun right now just adjusting the tillers and final weights and doing a bit of finish on them.
