Anyone hunt with more than 1 bow in the same season?

[KevinK]

I am just curious how many out there hunt with more than 1 bow during the same season vs picking 1 bow and sticking with it all season. For those that do hunt with more than 1 bow, do you stick with 1 then switch after a certain time or go back and forth between your bows? I have more than 1 bow I would like to hunt with but I'm afraid of not being dialed in during the switch. I'm having picking 1 and sticking with it!!

I go back and forth, but usually only own 2 or 3 at a time. I shoot them all often enough that after a few shots I'm "dialed in" with that particular bow. For me each bow seems to have its own unique "feel".

 Switching up has never caused me any problems.

I will be using my Bob Lee 54# TD recurve for an elk hunt, leaving in two weeks. When I get back I will be using my home made hickory self bow for the first doe that crosses my path. After that I will finish the season with my Bob Lee 45# recurve. Usually just use the Bob Lees with arrows weighing 10 grain per bow weight.

I think I hunted with 4 different bows last hunting season, for a variety of reasons.  I imagine that I will hunt with at least a couple different ones this season.  They all need some attention, lol.

[KevinK]

Yes, pdk25, sometimes I feel like they are my children. Even though I have a favorite right now, a different one might be my favorite in a week and I feel they all need some attention.

[Keith Zimmerman]

LOL!  Like 20 of them.

Usually commit to one bow, plus a backup each season. Make a kill, then switch to the backup. So on and so fourth. This is subject to change at a moments notice. This year I'll be using my Caribow "Tuktu EX" TD recurve and my Bear "Kodiac" TD recurve. Call me an equal opportunity owner.

I tend to pick a favorite but will usually take another hear and there.

I am stuck on my TallTines though. Will hunt mostly with my 60" recurve, but will most certainly give my stickflinger some attention as well.

I've hunted and killed stuff with different bows on the same day....so yes.

One year I killed 5 animals with 5 different bows.

I quite often walk in with my arm guard on my left arm and then find the need to change it to my right arm, when I find that just right spot to sit for the hunt.   Other times it goes the other way.

[Sam McMichael]

I don't do it very often, but I do change around from time to time.

[black velvet]

I do most seasons. Just get up and decide which bow I want to use on any given day. All tuned to point exactly the same.

[woodchucker]

Change bows????? I just got a new Bear T/D that I've waited 40 years for!!! Gonna need at least 20 to get her broken in!

[longbow fanatic 1]

This year, I have a recurve and carbons set up and a longbow with woodies. I plan to bounce back and forth throughout the season.

[Friend]

Yes...Yes...Yes

May have two different bows in the blind with me.

Possibly a longbow and a recurve.

Possibly a longbow and selfbow.

Possibly a recurve and selfbow

Could possibly have other future combinations

[Terry Johnston]

yes,but I shoot all my bows all year long.

[Terry Johnston]

yes,but I shoot all my bows all year long.

[ksbowman]

Yes, but I set all my bows up where they all shoot the same in relation to the site window. That way I always have the same look when looking thru the bow. I use an elevated rest on the larger windows and shoot off the shelf on those with a smaller window.

[Orion]

Yep.  Longbows, hybrids and recurves.  The're pretty close in poundage and I generally shoot about the same gpp arrows. Might hunt with one in the morning and another in the afternoon.

[2wfstlhunting]

Yes..
At the beginning of the season I am stronger and the weather is warmer. I can most comfortably draw my heavier bows. As the season goes on I tend to shift to other bows because some I like (or don't like ) taking out in the rain, and then I just need a lighter draw weight the colder and later in the season that it gets
