Default Two Bows

How many of you guys have 2 bows. One for hunting and one for 3-d. Im thinking of getting 2 of whatever bow I get, 1 in camo, the other in one of bowtechs other colors. I just dont want to look like a redneck shooting with a camo bow.

Save your money for a car man. No need wasting your money on 2 bows jsut shoot the same one it will get you more comfortable with the bow insteead of switching back and forth. Mostly everyone at the #D shoots are redneck anyway

If that's the only reason, save your money for college. Ninety-eight percent of 3d attendees shoot camo bows.

Now, if it's because you want to get really serious about 3d and have a target bow set up with a long a-to-a offering a more stable platform with a more forgiving brace height and you're thinking about chasing after a few state championships and maybe hitting the national scene... go for it. But from the sound of your post, I'd say your a little ways away from that yet.

Save your money kiddo, trust me! Who says shooting your hunting bow at a 3-d shoot is being a red neck?? I'm guilty as heck then with a pile of other people as well. Thats the bow you plan on using for hunting, its the one you should be practicing with.

Like Greg said if you are getting the same bow just in different colors, don't worry about getting a second bow. There are some very good shooters that shoot camo colored bows. I had a longer A2A bow that I used for 3D, but I use a completely different setup. Longer stabilizer, different sight, and different arrows. Don't worry about looking like a redneck, let your shooting do your talking.
