138 total at last count which  includes: Bear Kodiaks 1950-1966 all different Kodiak Specials 1956-1960 and Kodiak Magnums 1961-1971 and of course some 1970 Bear custom Kodiak takedaowns as well.... a couple Grumley Deerslayers, and some Black Widow and Bruin Custom takedowns too.
I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Currently I have 6.   Three of those are fiberglass kids bows, but bows nonetheless.
