Default Darn it, school :(

I know my education is more important then a bow, but I have been looking foward to ordering the APEX riser and I was all most there. Olympic archery, and bowhunting are really important to me, hunting is so important to me that I am upgrading my Math, getting some physics and bio this semester to become a hunting outfitter. I went to register for my second semester of upgrading today, I figured I would have enough on my visa to take care of it. I just spent a whole month putting money towards my visa to pay it off, not to mention saving for the Apex riser and then some FX limbs. Last semesters classes came to $900 even, I thought is would be the same this semester, I was sadly mistaken. The price came to a cost over my visa limit. I sat and thought for a second when she told me how much it would be. I figured I could hold off on a class and pay for it with my next paycheck and not have to touch my bow savings. But classes being classes mean's they do fill up, so I had no choice. I payed for 2 on my visa and one with my debit card. <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>. I went from being so close to buying the Apex riser, to losing $350
to a class. Im pretty solome right now, but I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Just needed to vent a little, lol.
Good shooting.

55 forget the riser and keep putting a little back untill you can afford it.

Don't woory about going into debt for an education,I've done it for me and my wife,it will pay off and you will be thankfull someday.Besides a little debt will build character and we all need that.

I racked up close to $7000.oo on a credit card while sending my wife to school,but we had a baby and had to eat.It is payed off now and she has a good job as do I and the cards are payed off and we just built a new house 2 years ago and we have a 3 year old along with our 7 year old and they are both payed for as well.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>


Hang in there and keep working toward your goals.

Yeah, one day I will have a wife and kids, thats what my parents say, education is far to important to not wanna pay for it. I was going to order that riser really soon, I have been off from shooting for a while and don't like it much. Thanks for the wise words though TFOX, my mom gave me some tonight as well over the phone, as I was quite annoyed.
Ahhhh well I get a pay check soon, and money will be comming, so I will have my riser in no time. Then the limbs.
Good shooting all.

Man, we need to hook up some time. Both of us want to become outfitters when we get out of college. I am a biology major. With my bio skills and your math skills imagine the money we could make.

This is just upgrading to get into a school, to take a 2 year outfitting course, that gives you everything from A-Z to have an outfitting business. This summer, I am going on a survival trip alone, so I can learn how to live off of the land for about a week or two, to make me a better outfitter in the long run. I am better at biology then math, Im just taking math to get the level course I need, and Physics is a course for me, so when we get into something technical on here I can understand and make clear statements.
Good shooting.
Dylan
