I've shot only one bow for the last 2 years. Seems like its a part of me now. Only reason I'd consider another bow is for a backup.

That should be a compound bow question.  They don't know what they're missing.

YEAH, RIGHT! Got 5 on  the rack and shoot them every day. I shoot them all well so why just stick to one. Got three more coming. One bow,that just ain't right.

This must be a trick question   :saywhat:  
Unless you only own one bow it just ain't right to let the others feel neglected.   :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:

I've never succeeded shooting two bows at the same time TonyW. I'd get one in each hand and couldn't figure out the best way to pull the strings back!    :bigsmyl:

One bow for me! I don't throw others into the equation at all. I get acquainted with one & do my best to become a good shot with it. I took up the longbow 3 years ago & before that shot the same compound for 14 years, I'm not an experimenter!! (grin) My son has shot the same recurve for 4 years. (Brackenbury Drifter)

I only own 2.  The first is a Bear Kodiak mag that I hunted for over 8 years with, then I bought a shrew recurve 7 years ago and have exclusively hunted with it.

I'd have to say no because I have a martin hatfield that I use for bowfishing every year, but other than that, it's 1 bow all year. When I only owned the hatfield that was all i used. Then I bought a schafer that I used for years. Now its my GM longbow. I don't like switching bows.
