Yes I have 4, two for hunting.

I also still have old mathews MQ1, I have killed most of my deer with MQ1. He is my bow "Hall of fame"

I would keep two.

A bowtech? ROSS taste better Jeff[8D]


Exactly, I never want to not be able to hunt because of a equipment failure
Buy 1 Ross problem solved[8D]
Germ, ROSS? Honestly! Don't you have some spooning to go back to? JK Ross is a very nice bow.
I am at work, management does not like me spooning at work[:@]
ROFL

I dont really keep a back up bow per say. I use to keep a back up compound, a back up recurve, and a long bow. Never used the respective back up, instead I would grab a different type of bow, when the one I was planing on using messed up (which happenend just a few times in 20+ years). I sold my extra compounds, but keep my trad bows. Trad bows tend to be more personal than a compound. You get more of a bond to a trad bow than you do a compound. A trad bow tends to become a part of you.

Time to drop the hammer. No time like the present. It sounds like the bug has already bit.The bite isjust festering about now.

Every now and then I use my back-up-bow. I had to last season, late season when I had a string issue with my Liberty. Good thing I had it back at the house. I ran back to the house, grabbed the old bow, shot it a few times ( I always shoot it through the summer) so I figured it would be right on. It was. Headed back to the December woods and two hours later my old Clearwater mag did its job.

You might as well hang on to it, if money isn't an issue than you have an awsome backup and who knows maybe you'll decide to go back to the Mattews!
