Default How many have a back up bow?

How many of you guys have a back up bow ready to go if your primary bow fails for some reason?
I never have, but am thinking of changing that now that I had a limb crack on me the other day. Now I am sidelined until it gets back from the manufacturer. Hopefully it won't take too long. It is killing me knowing I don't have my bow.

Yes, I have my old Mountaineer bow ready. I replaced this bow with a new one last year.

Even before that though I have always had a back up bow sighted in and ready just in case.

I have 2 backups actually. My Switchback is my primary backup and then if that fails I'd grab my old school PSE Fire-Flite.
