This is going to be weird. I have three bows I consider so easy to shoot well that I don't shoot them as much as some others. I'm more likely to pick one up that I don't shoot as well as one of these.
Anyone else do t his?

Not really. I do have a little collection of about 16 classics and give them all a chance to stretch their limbs during the year. I can't say any of them are too accurate to shoot though.

Yep ,, Im constantly trying to make things harder ... Strange, huh ? Guess that's why I've moved onto Straight {long} Real L/B's, After that conquest, I'll move onto SelfBows and shoot off my Knuckle ... {I Guess} ...

Please, I don't mean to suggest I'm a great recurve shot. I'm still learning to do this and struggle as much as most, I'm sure. I'm certain there are many here who can shoot groups inside mine. I'm not even to the point I was back in the early 70's and wonder if I ever will be.
What I'm getting at is that 3 of my current 10 recurves are just so easy for me to shoot that I shoot others. Maybe it's sort of like shooting further than I want to hunt so the hunting shots are easier? If I master the more difficult (for me) bows they'll all be easier?
I'm just wondering how weird this is? Do some of you brush off a bow or two because you know you can shoot it pretty good, to work with one you aren't as consistent with?

Well I can not say that I can shoot a certain bow well enough that it presents little challenge. I will, however shoot a "D" shaped bow, which I shoot with less consistancy yet just presents greater fulfillment.
