Hey Jack, I can send you an old mid 70's Grizzly, but you probably have 15 or 20 them already...lol!

My wife asked me that question when she was attending Rod Jenkins' class with me, and the whole class cracked up.
I have 8 "official" bows, not counting the bows I have for when my grandchildren get old enough to shoot, some self bows that were just too beautiful to pass up, a couple of left-handed bows for when I want to shoot left-handed, some bows I traded for that I don't use very much, a bow I have set up for bow-fishing, and a bow or two I have at my office for when I want to practice blind bale shooting at a target I have there....

Hello all, I have been lurking for about eighteen months now, and just registered today. I have owned four and currently have three. My first was a 48" osage stick bow that my grandfather made for me when I was ten, I still have it, but years sitting in my parents' garage have cause some cracks to form. It was pretty crude and had a nylon string, but I loved it. My second was a 45# recurve that I bought for $45 when I was fourteen. I ended up selling it to pay for gas or books when I was in college, and the guy I sold it to got an eight-point white tail a week later. Early this year, after deciding to get back into traditional archery, I bought a Samick Sage TDR at 50# and additional limbs at 40#. A friend at work suggested I talk to Rick Ellis at Striker Bows about technique and after spending some time with him and shooting some of his bows, I placed an order that was delivered last Wednesday. Last I have the Striker Stinger TDL which is at 56" and 51#. I chose the new shorter length for maneuverability in heavy brush (like back home in NW Ark) and my draw length is only 27". I am extremely pleased with this bow, and my chrono test hits in the 151-159 range with wood arrows--which I consider pretty good considering the short length and the total lack of hand shock. The Samick will probably find its way to craigslist this winter.

It is really not a fair question............I have a collection of pre 1963 Kodiaks, Kodiak Specials and a few Grizzlies; and then there's the bows I hunt with.
