I have 2 compounds, one Im using, and a backup, along with a crossbow. I used the crossbow last year cause I couldnt get a compound that I could pull at legal weight, thats my last resort weapon for bow season in OHIO

I have 2. A bowfishing set-up and a good deer rig. I probably need a good back up rig too. Thinking hard about a patriot dually, or maybe a black knight.

Geeees.......I love this sport!!

PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!

Hmmmm...

I just bit the bullet and &quot;thinned the herd&quot;, but here's what I've got left...

My 1992 High Country, with a busted string.

Three bamboo-backed osage longbows, completed, shot in, and with game taken on each.

One rawhide-backed hickory bow that I took a deer with in 2000 and haven't shot much since.

One rawhide-backed yew longbow that mostly collects dust.

One rawhide-backed red oak &quot;kiddie bow&quot; that my daughter helped build for herself.

Three Root recurves. Two hunting and one target.

One Browning recurve that kills a lot of fish every year.

One Hoyt Avalon target bow, that I don't shoot much anymore.

One Chek-Mate Hunter II recurve that's my all-around bread 'n butter bow.

I guess that makes 14. Shhhhhhh....don't tell my wife. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
