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

[mwosborn]

Yes,  I made 4 bows over the last few months and will hunt with them all over the next 4 1/2 months of our deer season.  Starts on Friday!!

[snag]

One bow, Liberty Contender, one set of Surewood Shafts Doug fir arrows. Great combo, tuned and ready.

[Red Beastmaster]

I switch sometimes, usually not. If I do I take a whole Sunday afternoon to shoot the new bow.

[J. Cook]

I switch between 5 or 6 bows during season...no reason other than I like them all and want to use them.  It may make my shooting suffer, but I've never dedicated to only 1 bow so I don't have a valid comparison.

[Gdpolk]

Nope.  I like the familiarity that my old friend of my longbow has.  It's like an extension of my body and I really don't have to think about how to shoot it, it just seemingly shoots itself.  I see no reason to leave perfection at home.

[Anointed Archer]

Yeah I switch all the time and 90% of the time it depends on the hunting situations or where I am hunting.  I do have a go to Bow that is my primary bow but I love having a choice.

[mnbwhtr]

Yes, blind hunting(antelope) I shoot an A handle Bear t/d and treestand hunting shoot a B handle Bear t/d. Late season I put on lighter limbs usually 50# or so.

[GreyGoose]

Yes.  Especially if the weather gets cooler; then I switch to a lighter bow.

[BAK]

Yup, but shoot 4 or 5 different bows throughout the year anyway.

[Longbow@01]

1

[LC]

Nope I guess I'm abnormal. Shoot the same bow year around all the time. Practice, 3D small game big game. Same bow. I guess I should add that's a bow I've made, one of many, that suits me to the Tee so no need to change.

[Pointer]

Sometimes I do...generally 2 bows that shoot similarly.

[TDHunter]

Yup got most of my bows shooting near the same and if not a couple volleys of arrows and I'm tuned into the next bow

[BUCKY]

do two of the same bow count as one?

[HARL]

I have been known to grab which ever one calls to me when I get to the bow racks !

This year I will not be hunting with my white glassed bow on the first day of bow season, which is the last day of the youth season. I had a skinny little girl shoot at a deer with an inline at a six pointer that I called to with in 15 yards of me on an open field.  They saw me earlier and figured that from only 200 to 300 yards away that if had not shot yet that I was not there anymore or was not going to shoot.  She wounded the little buck, but they did not find it.  The other exception will be during the early muzzle season, last year while I was scanning with my binos, I caught a guy aiming his gun at me.  I do not like it when people point their guns at me.  He said that he saw white and was using his scope to decide if I was a buck.  I may have to go to a head net and leave the white bow at home that week, if they need to point their guns at anything white or moving.  What made me frustrated with him, I was wearing a blaze orange hat.  So he was pointing his gun at a deer with blaze orange?  He was checking me out with his rifle scope with a loaded gun.  I will take a brown bow out that week.

I am sure that I saw a law against using only one bow, seriously.   I am trying to narrow down the number of bows that I am going to use this year.  I am currently at 4 but I am trying to get to 5, well, 6, I mean 1 or 2, okay, maybe 3 or 4.

[Stumpkiller]

No.  I chose one bow after a season and that becomes my primary bow (with a back-up).  

I do ALL my practice with the chosen bow and that is what I hunt with.

After the season I usually choose another bow and the cycle repeats.

[woodchucker]

Back-up...?? What's a back-up???
Has anyone ever broken a bow during hunting season? I accidentally cut my string with a broadhead once, but that was a quick fix!  I did see a guy cut the continuous string on his compound, tying to get his broadhead into that whisker rest thing they put on them. WOW!!!!! That was EXCIITING!!! He was done for the season...

[stagetek]

I switch from time to time. Kind of an impulsive thing. I do the same thing through out the year, so I'm used to shooting them.
