I just have one bow now, a Sage. But, I don't know. There's nothing wrong with having many bows. Just not for me.

One bow. One arrow. My ideal.

I have about six now. Three I regularly shoot.  Like somebody said, it drives me nuts trying to decide which one to take hunting.

But I think it is good to have a  couple of back-ups. So I do.

I have re-considered my view on this, I have 1 bow and 35 back-ups.

I always get down to one or two bows for hunting season, but I have owned LOTS of bows over the years because I love buying and selling bows. It's always fun and exciting to get your hands on a new/ used bow and try her out. There are some real beauties out there. My current go to bow is a "used" Tall Tines all Myrtle and I love shooting it. I try to shoot a critter with each bow I own unless it is a bow that just does not work for me, I have had very few of those. I used to struggle with letting one go but I have pretty much gotten over that ... except for my ever trusty Bill Stewart Multi-cam. Like Jeff I might have to try that Timber Ghost ....

I have one pig nut hickory flat limb, that has a shelf on both sides.  If i cannot kill a deer with that there is something wrong with me. The problem is I shoot left and right handed. For a while there it was looking like an archery Noah's ark in my bow room. I am down to 3 Robertsons, two Hills from blanks, 3 recurves, 2 Schulz, and no reverse handle longbows. I know that i am as good with that pignut as anything else, but I sure wish I had a reverse.
