Arthur,
No justification necessary for me, my friend. I am going to forego any negotiations with the CFO, thus the "lunch money" philosophy. This is the first time in many years that I have been down to one bow. I do have two cases floating around. She will be none the wiser when the second one gains about 6 pounds or so.

Not really my business, but if you WON the Mighty Mite, why would you have to get rid of one of the bows for financial concerns?
I agree. Work out a compromise. If it was any other bow besides a M...Ma....M...then I would probably tell you to just keep the original.

All joking aside...give her a backrub...some flowers...a nice bottle of wine....and I think you can convince her to keep both.

Keep them both, the bow you won didn't cost you anything. I won a Browning Citori trap combo in a shoot off in 1980 and I sold it because I thought I needed the money at the time. I couldn't have been more wrong[] I'll allways need more money but I'll never be able to hold THAT memory in my hands again. The money I made when I sold that very special gun with the fitted luggage case and extra set of barrels,,, has been gone for almost 24 years. What a dumb thing I did[&o]

You're in between a rock and a hard place. As for selling the FX, I would think selling a valentine gift could do more harm than good. I speak for myself here, for if my wife was to sell my valentine gift to her, that would be the 'last' valentine gift she would have gotten from me. [:@]
Can you ask her to hold off on 2005 valentine gift and hold onto to the MM in its place. [8D]

The massage worked WONDERS[8D]! I get to have my back-up bow (and shoot it too). I told her that the FX was my special/primary bow, but if something were to happen to my FX on an out-of-state bowhunt, I could use the other bow instead of wasting alot of $$ on a ruined trip. Now, if I could only convince her I need a dozen more arrows.

This is funny, you have 2 new bow's and never paid a nickle for either ,so you've gotten 2 free bow's "right ".Now your wife want's you to sell one HMMMM, sell your bike you paid money for that .If I had a back up like the MM I'd be a pretty happy guy. I'd definetly find another way around this but I wouldn't sell either that's for sure. I'd get rid of a shot gun or rifle before i get rid of my bow's. Good luck and stay out of the doghouse both myself and Ampahunter have been there recently.hahaha

I bought her a BowTech Rascal about 8 months ago - she likes shooting it, and is pretty good to boot. - She still doesn't understand why it costs so much though.
