A lot less than I used to have.  Still have 15 or 16 recurves and longbows and several selfbows with several more in various states of incompletion. :goldtooth:

Never was one to collect Bowes , went through a bunch but always kept the few that shot best for me. I was down to one recurve and one TD longbow that I built. Bought a ILF because I wanted a lighter bow. I do have a set of LB limbs for the riser also. So if limbs count as “bows” 2 recurves and 2 longbows.

I counted 17. I have 4 or 5 really nice bows  a couple wall hangers and the rest are what I would call clunkers.  The clunkers are shootable, just not so nice.

One longbow, one recurve, two three piece combination bows with both recurve and longbow limbs.  One low draw weight training bow, Sage.
One set of limbs on order.  One longbow on order.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

How many bows do you need? The number of bows you own plus one.

I'm not a collector of anything much.  Maybe DeWalt cordless tools. Most of what I keep around has a use.  I'd rather something like a nice bow be used by someone who appreciates it than sitting on my rack as a backup to my backup.

At the peak I had over 100 bows, mostly recurve classics. I missed about 20 yrs while serving in the army and raising a family. Then I found a recurve at the flea market and the addiction was on. There weren't any Black Widows or other high dollars, but lots of Bears, Pearsons, etc. Now I have more then fifty, and getting too old to shoot them. Darn, how I would like to have had a couple of these when I was younger.   :archer2:

Wow you guys, y'all must have a  lot more expendable money than I do.

I currently own 4 longbows, and I'm in the process of selling some of them just so that I can afford a new custom longbow  ...

Shhhhh-she'll hear. No honey, only one bow more.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
