If you count only bows in hand, 3.  If you include those en route, 6 - but the day's still young.

'62 Kodiak Special-44#
 '64 Kodiak-50#
 Wing Gull-25# for the daughters
 Blacktail 1 piece-50#
 RER Vortex-50#
 Wes Wallace t/d-52#
 Border xp 10 1 piece-50#
 WW 1 piece on order
 Enough for now.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

55" 1965 Shakespear Necedah 45@28.
Bear T/D "A" Handle w/ #1 limbs 47@28.
58" Acadian Woods Tree Stick 52@28.
64" Griffin 52@28.
Loyd Lippert Osage selfbow. (for my 4yr old son...Thanks Loyd!)

80% finished Dryad BBO blank that's "less-than-what-I-wanted@28".
An abortive piece of Hickory in bow shape w/ string grooves. (Aptly named "Tiller-Torpedo")

In the process of building a bow form for t/d longbow limbs.  Got a bunch of Bingham's stuff laying around, crying for me to put it together.  I think that makes 5 bows, 2 nightmares, and a bunch more of something "in the oven".    :saywhat:
Rose Oak Ace 41@28
Super Shrew Gold 42@28
Black Widow PCH-X 40@28
Toelke Pika 43@28

At this point, i only own 17 bows. That is down from i believe 25 at one time. Of course, that does not even compare to my cousin's owning 103 in 2002.   L.

Do you know that this thread started in July last year?  That means most guys that have responded need to start counting all over again.  The numbers change!!  :biglaugh:

I didn't go through the thread to see if I answered or not before, but as of this date my number is eight.  (And subject to change)  :rolleyes:

Well let's see... it would take me a couple years to get rid of them all if I sold one every week.  I suppose the wife's right this time... that's too stinking many.  I guess it's time to start thinning the herd.
