8 Recurves, 9 longbows....
Gave away another 5 or so recurves and one longbow to friends to get them started.

I just went and counted my bow racks.

As of today-- Eleven bows.

Some (3-4) are "go to" bows. The rest are sentimental. My parents gave me back 30 years later my very first recurve that my Dad bought for me as a kid.

Killy, I like it in closets!  :rolleyes:  I have learned to stick with bows grips as opposed to bows. If I find one that the grip is perfect for me I keep it! Shawn

I had to go count, that may not be good!!! but right now 20 trad,recurves,longbows,homemade and selfbows. One compound that I haven't shot in 18 months. Is that to many, I think not,lol.

I feel like I am slacking as I only own one. The one I have works great for me so why not stick with it. I like to hold, look at, and shoot others but really havent thought about buying another one.

Right now I have 3, but I have bought and sold 10 or so in the last several years.
I love my new Great Plains Palo Duro 50#recurve.
It's probably the smoothest bow I've ever shot
(tied with a Habu).I look forward to hunting with it.
My go to bow is a Martin Hatfield recurve.
I also own a Don Dow Stikbow which I really like but don't shoot often enough.
My first was a Bear Black Bear that I bought in 1981. It survived a fire and will never be sold. My brother shoots it now.

I had to go in the basement to check. I didn't know there were 12. It doesn't look so bad when you break it down...and, I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't take drugs, I don't gamble, I don't run around.  Case closed!

2 from the same bowyer that I shoot all the time.

2 others I shoot sometimes.

2 others I used to shoot.

1 of my old recurves from when I was 15 yrs. old

1 for my wife

1 for my son

1 for my daughter

1 to teach kids

1  for decoration only (damaged)
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

One longbow Ill keep because of who had it made for me (it mostly sits on the rack) and now a DAS, and hopefully a tradtech.  I bought and sold well over 30 bows in the last 6 years or so.

2 and there listed below...but I have another Kota Kill-um on orders as of Friday.

Going to be Curly Myrtle limbs with a Cocobolo handle, but I have to wait to December.  I'm thinking about it as a Christmas present.

Then again there always seems to be a bunch of bows listed in the classifieds so I may get one of those.
