One bow or many this season

[bear1336]

Just wondering how may of you use the same bow for the entire hunting season or do you switch back and forth with another bow. This year I will be shooting my Bear A mag with 47lb #1 limbs for the whole season.

Start the season with a 54# Wallace 1 piece, then when it gets colder will use a Crow creek lb for the remainder.

I'm a one bow man.

[Stone Knife]

It's one for me, I like to shoot all summer with the bow I'm going to hunt with. I don't want any unfamiliarity issues when a deer shows up in range.

[James Wrenn]

I will hunt with at least two, most likely more.Starting out with a Gamemaster and a selfbow.Don't know where it will end.

My plan was to hunt with one bow for everything. However ended up with tendinitis in my left fore arm so I haven't been sure what I could draw day to day for the last month. Started with a 48# 1969 Kodiak hunter but have been shooting a 40# 1963 Pearson colt. May have to get out the 338 win/mag. We need to fill the freezer and it maybe time to set my own wishes aside.

One bow for me starting today.

A '59 Bear Grizzly.

[SpikeMaster]

One bow, a Mohawk longbow. I have a hard enough problem being consistent with one bow. I don't need to make things harder by switching around.

[stickbow2442]

Two maybe three bows for me. I mostly use the longbows but I use my recurve in the blind because it is shorter. I shoot all my bows year around.

Been only shooting my new Dryad Orion all summer and plan on hunting only with this bow until the late season.  Then I will hunt a few weeks with my PGA Widow just "because"...

Good luck to all this season.

I just finished making a recurve bow for myself and plan to hunt bear with it. But I also ordered a Tall Tines from Brian wessel and it will come in soon, so plan to hunt early season with it as well. Both have bubinga riser wood and veneers cut from the same stock. I haven't seen the Tall Tines yet, but SOON! Mike

[Tom Leemans]

I'll hunt with my purple 52# BBO. If I kill a deer with it, I may give it a rest and hunt with the orange and black 60#er, but the purple one is so nice to shoot.

Good luck this season Mike! (I'm asking for your book for Christmas!)

[BowHuntingFool]

I'll start out with my Mohawk! I have a Big River on order which is close to being done, I don't know if I'll hunt with it, gotta get her tuned first. I'll take the Montana longbow out for rabbits later in the season.

[reddogge]

I've been shooting several to see how my elbow holds up since surgery in May.  So far a 45# '66 Kodiak feels good but I can squeeze a few shots out of a 50# '62 Kodiak, 50# Tice and Watts, or 50# Hoyt Pro Hunter.  I may start with the '66 Kodiak though.

[GMMAT]

One bow here.  Only reason I own another is for a backup.

[BowMIke]

I will be shooting a 57# Morrison Shawnee for this years hunting.

[Izzy]

Im familiar with all of my bows and shoot them all on a regular basis but Ive never taken a deer with a long bow so this year its the 46# Griffin.

[SlowBowke]

Two bows for me, and I own them thanks to two fine gentlemen here.

The 1968 Super K in 43lbs and the 1967 1/2 in 55lbs, two bows but different (shooting wise) only in weight.

I owe both at least a highly visible "THANK YOU!!"

Both of you must have shot most the misses out of them, lol.

Neither I nor my close freinds can get over how WELL I can shoot these two bows.

It's been and continuing to be a very rough year but these two bows have been a blessing.

After shooting them for the past few months, I can't imagine hunting with anything else.

God bless.

I'll probably use just one for deer season but I still can't pick which one.  I'm leaning toward my Northwind Sage at 52 pounds.  My shooting with each of my bows is improving considerably but I need to pick one soon so as to give me confidence in that one bow.  I think after Christmas I may try to do some bunny hunting with one of my lighter bows, likely the 40# Shakespeare X-26.
