I guess I have two, but the old Darton has been in my buddy's hands for two months now. I think he adopted it.

I've always had at least 1 other bow ready to go in case of a mishap that would damage my primary bow. Only needed it 1 time.

I work at an archery shop, so I trade my "old" one in even up every year for a new one. I still have my 10 y/o Riptide to fall back on in case of emergency though.

I bought both the Matthews SBXT and the Bowtech Alleg. I couldn't really make up my mind which one I liked the best. What has happened is I use the SBXT the most. If I am on the ground in a blind I always use the SBXT. The BT is faster and everything else IMHO is in the Matthews favor. I still have my old Hoyt Havoc and it shoots as good as either one of the others. I just can't handle the 70# anymore.

I have a Switchback right now and I plan on going and looking at the new Drenalins and some Bowtechs this summer.

If I like them I will fork over some cash and be called an idiot by all my friends again for dropping $900 on another bow setup.

I don't know what I would do if I have 2 bows, but I love to shoot, so I figure I will just play around with them.

No different thanhaving a lot of guns just forthe heck of it. (which I do)

I took a different approach when I bought my Diamond. I changed the limbs on my Alpine Impact X-treme from 60-70 to 40-50. It is now my wifes bow but will do in a pinch as a back-up for me. DL is adjustable from 22-30" without a press. So I could have it cranked up to 50# and dialed in at 29" in no time.

Oh I have a "couple" handy to go at a moments notice if need be, they're all different styles and set up for various applications.......... but you don't want me shootin at ya with any of them.LOL.[8D]

One day this summer I was screwing aroundand had 6 bows out testing through the chronograph on my basement patio. Turned and noticed my 3D deer target........36yds , 6 bows , 4 completely different arrow types, 3 different releases =1 golfball sized group.

Don't neglect any ofyour babies, you never know which one you will want or need on any given day.
