seasonal bow maintanance

[Bcwn]

Bow howdy was that a good lesson learned! Pulled the 380 from the rack to shake the cobb webs off, well after shooting for a solid day, re zeroing what felt like a thousand times a voice in my head said (one of the members said to pull one screw at a time and lock tight them all) so with that being said I went to check screws and they all were loose! My back two trigger screws were so loose the arrow was raising the whole platform thus I was aiming lower. What a day, but it wasn't all bad my wife said I should order a new scope about 3 hours before I got my head out of my 4th point of contact, so I got a leupold crossbones out of the deal before figuring out that I simply needed to do some preventive maintenance In any case you live and you learn.

You sir, have a great wife!

No doubt about that, now hopefully she doesn't catch on to the fact that nothing was wrong with my tact zone

Better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission?

I don't understand this concept of "asking wife`s permission". I must have the best woman in the world as mine has always been very supportive of my hunting, shooting, and fishing. My wife even bought me a bass boat before we were married and has bought most of my guns for me and has never raised a brow when my crossbows and thier many accessories showed up at our door. She does get a little upset with me when I wander off into the woods without telling her that I'm going.

Yep, if you have to I suppose forgiveness later is in order of a risk of going without.

If you are living right in 20 er so years you'll have no need to worry about either! I have it great, if I want something I get it, very seldom does she even know it, once in awhile she has to take delivery of it, when she does,,,, well I simply here there is a package that came, seldom does she even ask what it is,,,, she found out long ago,,, some small packages can cost more than big ones. But regardless what it is,,, there is never an issue with what I get,,,, that's a two way street, but she seldom buys anything,,, even appliances I am usually the one that says we should get new, and many times it's,,, "I don't see anything wrong with we have" ,,,,,,, sure makes life easy!!!!

I've been married to the same woman for just over 27 years, and she knew dang well what she was getting when she married me. I don't ask permission, period, and she doesn't either.

This thread was written with the emphasis on seasonal maintenance not weather or not someone feels the need to write a paragraph on how they feel about communicating with their wife, or not. Boo simply made a light hearted comment. Keep the thread on track, and if you have an issue with any of the members who do, or do not communicate with their wife about buying something feel free to PM them rather and eat up a thread about how you feel about it. For the record If I had to communicate with my wife about spending it wouldn't make me feel any less of a man. Communication is a basic human function folks.

Did your wife put you up to bietching about others that don't need permission to do what they want as grown men ir did this just put a bur under your saddle knowing how some don't their wife to tell them they can have new equipment. Either way I understand I have a few buddies that have to go thru the same thing your experiencing,, with a little luck things will get better in time,, you'll probably even be able to get her permission for a new bow in a few,,, well if not you can always try the asking for forgiveness!!

Lol
In a way we are still taking about maintenance.
It's just a different kind. But we could start a new thread. Who's got the best wife;)

Didn't mean to cause strife by commenting on my wife but I have a great appreciation for mine as she is my 3rd. My first two actually destroyed or sold some of my things to retaliate for not asking thier permission.
As for maintenance... I tend to be obsessive about maintaining everthing thing including my crossbows. All fasteners on my crossbows were removed when I first bought them and reinstalled with blue loctite. Brace height is checked and adjusted religiously, fasteners checked, serving, strings, rails, limbs, trigger, scope, adf, arrows, fletching, nocks & inserts. I shoot my crossbows several time per week but I do the same even with my old vertical bows that I can no longer shoot due to some old injuries. I try to maintain everything that I have while I'm in this world as though it's going to have to last the rest of my life, "INCLUDING MY WIFE"
