For you folks that have a bunch of bows...??

[CRM_95]

I've only got 2, but have a 3rd on the way. I hadn't shot my first bow in a couple months since I got the second, but I shot it today just for grins. I actually shot it good after a few arrows to readjust. I think it's pretty cool that I can switch back and forth easily. Hopefully when the one I'm having now gets here I'll be able to shoot it well pretty quick too. If so I'm hoping it'll be my primary hunting bow for years to come.

Poor Fellow....you need to move            


I hunt with what ever bow fits the bill for the terrain I'm hunting, or situation....they are all tools, just like Bheads...I don't shoot just one.....or the same pair of boots in the mountains as in the swamps.

I've even killed animals with two different bows on the same day and/or hunt...being hogs, and pheasants.  Many times I've swapped during a hunt and killed stuff.  Also, when following up on an animal that goes into the REALLY thick stuff that I or someone else shot, I'll take a much shorter bow.

Its a fun game we play, and lots of different fun toys also.

I know where TSP is coming from. I have had seasons where I never saw a deer. BUT, that's one of the many reasons I'm moving closer to my Grand-kids in the near future........Georgia here I come and it won't be soon enough.

Ron,....what part of GA?

My Daughter lives in the Lawrenceville area, so right now I'm looking between there and Gainesville/Braselton area. Hopefully in the next year or so. I have to be a short drive from her family......not 1000 miles like it is now.

I love trad bows and have all kinds.  Here is my insane way of working out their rotation.  I like to hunt treestands with recurves, but I don't like to hunt treestands all the time.  I decided years ago to alternate each year.  Last year I hunted on the ground with longbows.  This year I am in the sky with recurves.  I usually have a midweight bow I use all summer, a heavy weight bow I use during the early hunting season, and a light weight bow I use in late hunting season.  Since I started the light weight in cold temps  I don't have near as many injuries.

I grab my trusty Sarells.  It's the first adult trad bow I've had.  I've had piles go through my hands over the years looking for a take down that I like as much so it would be easier to travel.  However, when the boots hit the dirt, my Sarells is still my best shooting bow in my hands, I have a history with it, and its the one bow I own that is just so absolutely perfect for me that it's my go-to.  All the others are always in and out of rotation in the off season and being sold when they can't compare to my true first love.

I've owned so many I can't remember them all...now I have only one custom bow..a Robertson that was made for me 7-8 years ago. I own a bunch of stock bows and they shoot just as well for me. I generally stick with one from mid August until the season ends but I do shoot a couple others that are my back up in case a bow fails on me. This year it may be an old Howatt Hunter or Wing. Just because I haven't used them in a while.

Got to have a bow for specific occasions. Bought a '61 Kodiak just for hunting, or that was my excuse to my Mrs Boss. Just lik when we were young and many of us had a field archery bow and a hunting bow before takedowns.  

However, My last real work boss, who collects recurves, gave me a Head Ski Red Wing Hunter, so now I feel obliged to use it for hunting. It is not as ggod looking as the Kodiak so it can tolerate a few dings.

Ron, there are numerous places in GA to hunt. Middle Georgia does not have as many really big deer as a lot of places, but we do have a lot of deer with generous limits. So, you have a chance to get a bunch of bows bloody. Check out Traditional Bow Hunters of Georgia and meet guys from all over the state who can help you get the lay of the land.

Sam, I intend to do just that when I get down there. Thanks.........

[Terry Green]

Yes....generous limits with generous season length......Middle Ga, Macon line(true middle GA), there's some big deer in that 100 mile perimeter for sure.  Seen enough myself....and even got a couple mounted even though I'm a N GA resident.

Not to mention, hogs, turkey and bear, and hogs are open year round,....there is always something to be hunted if you want to go.

Maybe I'll get to meet you someday....Braselton is a nice area.
