and how many years have you hunted?
I have been bow hunting for 30 years and just started on my 3rd bow. If I keep up this pace I will be due for a new one in about 2023 lol

RE: how many bows have you owned?
Hate to say it but I am 38 years old and a archery addict
I have owned countless bows since I started at 14 --Prob 60-80 compunds and 10-15 recurves
Compounds - I owned Browning, martin,bear, jennings, hoyt, bowtech, matthews, oneida, PSE, high country you name it
Recurves, Martin, hoyt, bear,
But i have slowed down in the last 3 or 4 years Last year I had a Ross cardiac, Hoyt vectrix, Bowtech commander and a Katera XL-- This is when I discovered short ATA bows are not for me -
I currently own 1 bow - The katera XL and looking at a Hoyt X8 or X7
I used to change bows like I changed underwear - but now they are too darn expensive

RE: how many bows have you owned?
Had a recurve in HS....but never shot it at an animal. Shot lots of pie plates on a red clay hillsdie backstop....but that was about it.
I'll start my season hunting with a Fred Bear Montana Longbow.
Picked up my first compound bow at the age of 40......< 3 yrs ago.
1st bow - '05 Mathews Switchback
2nd Bow - '07 Bowtech Allegiance
3rd Bow - '08 82nd Airborne
4th Bow - (should get today or tomorrow) - '08 Bowtech Constitution
Also have a Guardian that my son shoots........and I use as a backup.
I've been hunting with a bow for < 3 seasons.
