I answered for the total number in the stable right now, but they weren't all built for me.  If you buy a used custom that wasn't built for you, is it still custom?  :confused:    :p

It would be interesting to see how many people own less than 3 bows, custom or not.

I'm confused. Is my Quinn Stallion a custom bow? It has a metal riser but the limbs were made to order. 2 sets of limbs, do I count it twice?

E gads String Cutter! I couldn't get that number right if I had too! I recently tryed thinking of just the brand of bows I have owned, not the multible examples of each brand that I owned. Wife said I had this glassed over look on my face...   :knothead:

The last time I sat down and wrote out all the custom bows I've had it was over 100 and that was last year. I know I've added at least 15 or 20 since that. Currently I have 7 with 5 more on order.

I need to sit down and write out a list of custom bows I've had.   :eek:  

Then make a list of the ones I wished I had back, I bet both lists will be close to the same number. LOL!   :knothead:  

I voted 0-3 on custom bows I have right now, but I have a Silver Tip coming next week.   :D

I've owned allot of bows, more than I can remember but never more than three at a time and now I'm down to two and it's staying there.  I'm done buying/selling bows.

To many other interests in my life.  When the time comes to spend money on "toys" my next purchases will be a new kayak so I can keep up with my daughter and the new one I bought her and what I treasure most with regards to weapons a new flintlock, most likely a Pennsylvania Fowler that I will build from Chambers parts.  Oh yea I got my eye on a new motorcycle but that will be in a couple of years, two at a time is my max for that also and I'm happy with the two I got now.
