How many bows have you owned?

[elkken]

way more than I needed but not as many as I wanted

[BIG GAME]

I was on a huge Montana bowyer kick for about five years.  Robertson, Bear Paw, Schafer, Howard Hill, Centaur, Thunderhorn and Toelke.  I owned one or multiple at one time and got to see the shops and meet the bowyers.  By far the best bow and bowyer IMO was Jared and Dan Toelke.  I have moved on to a Black Widow for right now, but if I ever get away from them I will buy more Toelke bows.

[Tom Leemans]

At least a dozen

[Steve Crowl]

5 or 6, I lost count.

[Moots]

35 to 40.  Too many, but I have owned and shot some wonderful bows.

Fifteen or sixteen, I hunted with a Martin Hatfield for 12 years and never gave much thought to trying anything else.  Then I met Steve and shot his Fox Breed and Shrew and Caribow and the list grows.  I check the classifieds nearly every day now.  Jim

Only had 5.    Still have two.

[longbow guy]

I've only bought 5 since year 2000? Only sold 1, so i've got 4 and shoot 'em all

In about seven years of shooting (with a ten year gap in the middle), and including my daughter's bow, and my wife's, and my yellow fiberglass bow as a kid... I think seven. I only own one that I shoot. There'd be more if I could afford 'em!

hello, my name is rob, and i WAS a bow-aholic.

since i started in 1953, i WAS seriously addicted to all manner of archery bows and i still have a record of most of them i bought/owned, for a total of about 112 (save for a gaggle of lemonwood and osage selfbows my dad made for me back in the 50's).  it WAS a sickness, but i enjoyed the beauty of wood and craftsmanship and artistry.  thankfully, today i have but 3 bows and all are keepers, the mad bow questing is over.  amen.  anyhoo, it ain't the bow that matters most, it's the archer ... and then the arrow.  

[BWD]

A few over 40.

[cacciatore]
