I have a bit of a different take on this thread.  If you have bows that you naturally shoot well, I would focus on shooting those bows and sell the others.  We see a lot of threads with people looking for a bow that shoots well for them.  You my friend have found the bow or bows that work best for you.  Once you achieve that goal, I would be working those bows hard and working to refine my skills with them.  It essentially comes down to you becoming exceptionally competent with that bow and gaining the confidence that your shot will hit where your looking.

Shooting different bows with different grips means you never develop muscle memory to take a perfect shot in tough positions or angles of body in the field.  Shooting the bow or bows you shoot best and becoming proficient with them means you can take those shots and hit what your aiming at.

Just my 2 cents.  Either way you go enjoy the shooting.

You are fortunate to have several bows that you shoot very well. I'd say it's because you match up best with them physically and mentally. I have had a number of bows at any given time, but always as I got within 1 month of elk hunting I shot only the bow I was going to use that season. That helped clear the inconsistencies I would experience for a time when I switched out on bows. That being said I do have one longbow I use exclusively for shooting carp but it is only 5# lighter than my hunting bow. I still have a favorite takedown recurve with 3 sets of limbs that will cover all of my hunting and shooting requirements and although I have not shot it for some time; like you indicated with several of your bows, I can shoot it fairly well anytime I pick it up. It stays as my backup bow should the need arise. When I have a bow that I don't seem to shoot well, I sell it, as I admit I am not that great of a shot anyway. I understand what you are saying though. Best to you.
