I call them two 'active' bows. I practice with both at the same time so that my confidence is good with both. I'm not sure which one I'll hunt with first, but if an issue occurs with one, the other is right there for use. They both shoot the same arrows and almost the same accessories so that adds to the consistency.

If two break in the field at the same time, I'll just go home as it was not meant to be!!!

I have one but now it has turned into the full time bow-fishing bow.

I have a trusted PSE Nova, which I used for many years, and killed deer with it every year. If my Mathews Switchback failed, then I would use the PSE without hesitation.

I will more than likely be selling my Parker Hunter Mag Single Cam. Here's the Specs:

26" Draw @ 70#
26.25" CE 4560/6075 arrows
QS delux WB
Comfort Grip
Trophy Ridge Vertical Matrix 5pin
Case included

Not to sure when I will sell this bow.Slightly out of tune but this bow is very quiet. Tunning is probably OPERATOR FORM ERROR but hits where I aim it every time. I'm not out to rip anyone off. Please allow me to have this bow properly inspected and will post sale info when ready. This is just letting everyone know. Thanks for your time.

Well, I've never had the "means" to have a backup bow. But now that I'm out of college with a real job, I have that opportunity. Strangely enough though, my hunting bow will be my '03 Razortec and my backup bow is my Trykon.

I might have a couple sitting around that I could use.......

I don't consider them back-ups though, I call them "Game Time Decisions" as they will all see some action most likely.
Ditto.

I'll be starting off the year with my Allegiance with speed mods, but as it becomes colder (say mid- to late-November), I'll be switching to the Tribute with the smooth mods. Colder temps means bulkier clothing and tighter muscles, so I'll be enjoying that buttery, silky smooth draw of the Trib as the temps drop.
