Hunted with 2 different bow so far this season - shot a buck in September and a doe last weekend - one with each bow.  Have 2 weeks left in season so will try one more bow.  I like to shoot them for a week or so before hunting with them - need to adjust I guess.
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch

Once I take a deer I'll put that bow up and and continue the season with another.

I so far have only switched bows once the hunting season had started one time but I don't tend to have any problem shooting 3d at normal hunting distances so I don't think it would matter unless there was a drastic difference in speed!

This year I was planning on staying with one bow. The day I shot my buck, I happen to grab a different bow. I have taken deer with both bows. I love both of the bows I have been shooting this year, and randomly switch from one to another. All my bows shoot the same arrows.

I only shoot one. What kinda skins is on your bow?  My riser looks similar to yours and I've been kicking around the idea of having mine skinned and like the way yours looks.

No problem with using any of my bows either. The key for me is building an arrow for each bow (playing with shaft gpi weight, insert weight but keeping always same point/ broadhead weight )flying at same speed or really close in order to keep the same trajectory and using same open bow hand/relaxed fingers on grip for all the bows.

Terry, you da Man.  
I have too many nice Bows to let them on the racks, I use many Bows every season but I mostly use Bows of the same poundage and with the same arrow/Points combo so a minimal difference at my hunting distances.

Wesley, those are a great set of copperheads. Bill Dunn put them on when he made the limbs and did a fantastic job of it. The paint color that goes under the very thin skins makes a huge difference in the finished products look. Bill used a tan color under mine.
