I guess you shoud really start to 'worry' when the wall they are hanging on starts sagging or bowing out of line with the rest of the house.

Good one Gene, I still have a ways to go then. I hunted with three different bows this past season, each for one month. I noticed at the end of each month that I was shooting that bow as well as I can shoot, due to the fact that I was only shooting that bow for the entire month. Just don't think I could only have 1 bow.

I have sold all but 3.
I beleive that 2 identical weight and length should be my limit,so I can shoot one or the other and they should shoot the same.It makes it more cost effective to reduce the number of different size strings etc.I'm considering selling my 66" Mohawk and keeping the 2 62"

Fear the man who only owns 1 bow.

My wife indulges my bow buying and selling because she knows I could have a lot worse hobbies or interests. So that gives me somewhat of a green light on the "how many is too many" question. She knows virtually nothing about my trad gear, but she tells me all the time she loves watching me fiddle and tinker with them. She says I look the most at peace and happy when I'm messing with my bows. If I have a particularly good session shooting in the back yard she says she can always tell it when I come back in, got a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye an I'll yap about it for the next 20 minutes.
