How many bows are too many ....

[scbowhnter]

I've only been at this seriously for a few short years and I can already see the writing on the wall. Must have more bows..........

Just bought an A riser tonight, which means I get to shop for some limbs now!! For me it's a great way to keeping hunting in the off season.

Jon,

Yep, you have a terrible illness, and out of my great generosity I want to help, so send me your bows and then you'll never have to worry about too many.  

[Sam McMichael]

Do you recall the bumper sticker from a few yers back that addressed this issue of how many? It goes, "He who dies with the most toys wins". And remember, it's great to be a winner!

[Doug in MN]

Dave Pagel; I believe has answered the question perfectly.

I'm up to ten bows now... Always looking to try/buy/trade for another... Have ONE wonderful wife. One day she counted my bows and asked me how many do I need? My answer was: "How many hand bags do you have in the closet?" Point Made!

IMHO I don't think most of us are looking for that "perfect bow". We just dig different things about 'em so much we gotta have them. Hey! Spending money on bows keeps me outa the bars at night.  :D

You have to have enough bows where your wife cant tell if you get a new one.  No honey, I've had this bow for a long time.  HA HA

[buckster]

I don't know what the number is, but I stopped counting after 20!  

[Mack Marine]

I got 16 on hand, been trying to cut back. Sold two turn right around an bought two more. Should be in this week or next. So I will have 18 soon! LOL Still looking.....MORE!!!

[lpcjon2]

When the wife say's you done with buying bows...LOL

[Big Bird]

I have 23 and a chek-mate hunter II on the way.

[Jimmy Hartzel]

O.K. Jon when you get done with your Great Northerns just send them my way. See ya, Jimmy Hartzel

[Jack Guard]

Shhhhhhhhh....the wife is close by, I can't say how many I have.  And if I admit there are to many, well, do I even need to tell you the consequences.

[JRY309]

I haven't counted mine but would say 20+ and enjoy shooting them all.

Did everybody see L. E. Carroll's thread?

Pow Wow Topic: I will Loan a Bow for the season

Per Gene,

I realize there are a lot of people who have and are facing very serious times. A lot have had to sacrafice even their beloved bows just to put food on the Table.  

I have a couple very nice "Custom 60# T/D recurves [ Steve Gore and Doug Knight ] and one RF/DF 64" 55# brand new Custom Long Bow, that I would loan out for the season to help a couple of you out. I just ask that you take good care of them as they are all in great shape, use a stringer and return them when your season is over.  

PM me if I can help.

Gene

Hey, I am sorry if this highjacks the thread but maybe some of us that have a few "extra" bows might want to get involved in Gene's cause.

God Speed to L. E. "Gene" Carroll and guys like him!

Ive got 12 Custom bows and 10 selfbows that I and my late fatherinlaw built. I like to shoot , buy, sell, and trade bows and sometimes donate them. I try to sell one when I buy one now.

Well, in Missouri you can get as many as you want.  Just keep buying those $7.00 tags.  Wait a minute! You mean Bows and not Does?  Same answer, it just costs more.
