Dang, I don't even remember how many CARS I've had, and I had made and broken dozens of bows before I was old enough to drive.[:-]

If I had to make a guess, I'd conservatively estimate I've had somewhere around 200 bows over the last 50 years, both homemade and store bought. Probably a lot more than that though, because I went through a phase where I'd buy old junkers, fix 'em up and either give 'em away to kids or sell them real cheap to someone who couldn't afford a new one.
