I Feel your pain. A very good reason to invest in more then 1 bow.... (at least the wife believes that!)

[katman]

Yep, same excuse here to have a variety of bows, need back ups for the back up, lol

[Orion]

All the more reason you should never limit yourself to just one bow.

[levibear]

One bow hum mm. It seems to me a dozen arrows a dozen bows just kind of makes sense.

Did a cowboy limit himself to one gun?
Not the good ones.
There's your answer.

[Cwilder]

One must always have a back up for the back up to the back up X about 2 more back up bows

Just explore the posts covering what people have hanging on the walls of their living rooms. That should tell you something

Every trad shooter knows , you need just one more bow .
As far as your comment about it being addictive , I can quit any time I want .
I just don't want to .

You don't have to start collecting, but it's nice to have two bows that you really like, especially if something like what happened to you happens.

[Sirius Black]

As you can see, the two bows in my signature are very different from one another, I shoot one high-wrist and the other low, but I really enjoy them both.

The delamination has to be tramatic.

When I came back to shooting six years ago, I bought a '59 K Special off one of our members. It had some minor stress. My wife ask what I was going to do when that bow breaks (blows up)? After thinking about it, I bought a '60 K Special with the same draw weight and length and now it's my favorite.

Later, I bought a '61 Kodiak from another member and then a '62 for its backup. Like having backups and a few others now.  Bet those old Bears outlast me.

You always have to be prepared for the possibility of a delamination by having a suitable back up. However, there are a few rules to keep in mind. For example if you buy bow A, then you will need bow B for a backup. Pretty simple, right? Now when you buy bow C, it will also need a backup. Bow B that you bought as A's backup is just not suitable to also be backup for bow C. Rather, you need a separate bow for its backup. (Wives sometimes fail to recognize the total sense in this requirement, so I don't always tell mine about the new bow or its backup, either.) This is the best system around to have a collection of nice bows with each one being backed up by another nice bow. Follow this simple plan, and you will always be ready.
