how many bows
 

How many bows would you say you owned through the years

I have shot several brands and owned well over hundred bows in the last 22 years - I have owned Pse, matthews, browning, martin, bear, jennings, alpine, hoyt, etc.etc. etc.I have had up to 10-12 bows at one time and then I got married boy did that change things - now i own two and upgrade every couple years - only after selling the old ones first. Looking back at the thousands of dollars i have spent over the years on hunting one could say I was slighty addicted - just curious how bad it has gotten for everyone else

In < 2 yrs.....I've owned 4.....shot only 2 of them (I have a 15 yr old).....and currently own 2.

I may add a backup, next year.....with a 60 LB Guardian.

I have never sold my bows, so i still have them all. i have 5 compounds, and 2 recurves

RE: how many bows
 

not really sure how many I have owned since I started hunting but I always have 2 and I upgrade every 2 or 3 years. this year I am debating between the guardian or the cardiac

Over the last 45 years probably around 60 bows

bigjim-

I was heavy into traditional archery in my teens and then broke both wrist and shattered a good part of right hand - I even tried using an old martin recurve with a release aid but could never shoot fingers consistently after my accident - love the elegance and grace of recurves I was able to harvest a turkey and three pigs with my martin- miss them days

I've been shooting a bow for about three years and hunted with one for two seasons. I have only had one bow. I didn't realize until after my first season of shooting and hunting that it was a left handed bow, that I shoot right handed. It is a High Country. Shoots great and has some good stories. I see no reason to replace it.
