What is this "one bow" concept of which you speak?  Being a man who can resist anything but temptation, I fail to understand the whole idea.   :biglaugh:

Me too.  I actually recently bought a bow, and that's all I'm going to shoot for this whole summer and through hunting season.

If it sticks...... who knows... I may never have to make a bow again.

Yeah I am, but mainly due to lack of funding.  They always say to beware if the man with one bow because he probably knows how to shoot it.  Although that doesn't apply to me.

One bow is not enough, you always need at least one backup bow when you go hunting a lot. Even if something odd would happen to bow No. 1, the season would not be ruined because then No.2 would come into play. It is best if those babys are twins though. Believe me, bows can break, can get driven over by trucks in the dark etc.

I'm gonna say that it is a good thing, one bow, but I bet'cha it won't last!! If it does, you must be able to resist temptation better than I !!

So i'm passing some time surfing the Stickbow.com classifieds, when lo & behold the add reads: Centaur wanted,d.d.carbon elite wanted, willing to pay 10,000. thats right 10,000. So I click on the contact button cause I've got this feeling, & it say's....Larry! Yup, our very own Larry Marshall.!! I thought it went somthing like "You heard right I'm a 1 bow, 1 woman, 1 truck kinda guy " Hmmmm, I'm sure there's a reasonal explaination. Sorry bud, I hada shine the light.  :wavey:

ok, so that one bow thing didn't last long...but I've got a good excuse, planning an elk hunt in Oregon and their regs require I shoot a couple lbs heavier than my current bow...A guy can have a back up bow and still be a one bow man can't he ???

did I put 10,000? meant to put 00.00 better go ck that before someone holds me to it lol

If you are concentrating on only shooting LB's, I've heard it is best to not even have a recurve in the house.

By one bow I believe it's going to be one brand considering the need for a few more pounds of draw wieght not to mention that it's nice to have a lower weight to work form

Dibs on ???? Larry know's
Shoot straight and have FUN!!

Larry,

I said the same thing once upon a time.  And the fairy tale came to a swift end when I bought a couple more bows to go with my "one bow", man!     ;)      :)
