I ordered the 2023 PSE Mach 34. Now…..I did have the Levitate but I sold it and just used that money to get this bow. It’s essentially the same just with different cams. So we will call this purchase a wash.

Is that the one with the shoot through riser?

Some of us are newly addicted and don’t have the self restraint. Hi, my name is Bruce, and I’m an addict. I have a few items that are still in the package. I thought about giving something away on the classified forum and even paying the shipping…can’t figure out why I bought it in the first place for Pete’s sake! Is this rock bottom?
I want to buy another saddle, but I love the one I have. I NEED an ebike so it’s just a matter of time before that happens. I NEED another rope, a longer one. I NEED something else too, I just can’t think of it now. I don’t stop looking for ways to spend money on anything saddle related …….I’m just glad I’m not alone.

It's a disease & requires a ten step program

Much like the “you’re a saddle hunter if” thread we should create the ten steps.

1. Admit climbers are archaic and that nobody since the invention of saddle hunting has killed anything from a climber.

Or something like that. Just spit ballin here.

2. Avoiding all other types of hunting and defending your spending habits
3. Gear building for saddle hunting
4. You will start envisioning different ways to climb (ex. One sticking, 2TC, rope climbing, stick climbing, bolts, etc…)
5. Confusion on spending so much on said gear

Hello, my name is Gabriel and I’m a saddlehunter addict. My latest brain loss spending bug has been packs, which aren’t even related directly to saddle hunting. I got up to 5 packs and I’m currently on step 9 and selling them all off. I’m shipping the MR PU38 today and I already miss it and I’m trying to not relapse and buy another. SOMEONE HELP.

I also just bought a mtn bike and I don’t even ride… It’s for Hunting so. But it’s used so it’s not so bad.

This 10 step list is perfectly accurate! I have actually reached step 10 this year. But wasn’t until about 3/4 way through the season. Can’t saying I’m quitting saddle hunting completely but I have definitely relapsed to other methods and it honestly feels wonderful. Way less anxiety about all this junk!

Gear and gadget junky as well but I’m also cheap and poor.

Was wanting some nice synthetic game bags but wasn’t going to pay $$$ for them so I bought some nylon fabric and sewed my own. They’re “artisan” in quality but they’ll work.

I've found pillow cases to work well, if you need something else to buy. Amazon.....
 
Fully jumping in and joining. I'm getting divorced so finances are changing dramatically. Hoping to not have to give up any of my toys, but also trying to keep the house to keep the kids here so... I'm going to need to put a stop to the frivolous spending. I did just buy that knock off red dot in the classifieds to mess with on my HC mini though. I have a problem, though I guess in a sense I am "buying my wife something nice and giving it to her before next season so I can go hunting more"... Just... Not in the way OP intended :tearsofjoy:
