I have one bamboo backed osage bow I shoot and one heavy poundage osage bow I use for weight training, thats all.

I always have a few more selfbows in the works but they rarely stay home with me after I finish them.

I shoot my one bow very well by the way and don't want to complicate things by adding another.

WAY too many if you ask my wife!

If I had to count it must be 30+. Might be time to "thin the herd" so to speak!

I have sold most of my bows and now have only 3. I have a 3 piece pronghorn longbow, a Lost Creek longbow, and a Tradtech black onyx riser with 2 sets of black max limbs.

We should make a poll. Should make it easier to keep count on everything.

I've only got one bow suited for hunting, and then I have a lighter practice bow, one that is all fiberglass. My first bow, actually. It's not shabby at all, I've actually thought about the possibility that I COULD hunt with it. At my draw length, the poundage is definetely above 40#, I'm sure. Anyways, next month (April), I will receive 2 new bows   :bigsmyl:

i've got one bow. it's a take down recurve. i have two sets of limbs for it of different weights.

i'm not the kind of guy who wants umpteen bows. i'll be happy just to shoot this one well.

i would like to make myself a selfbow though and do some primitive hunting.

I have two recurve bows and one with training wheels but I haven't been at this very long.  I definitely can understand the guys with many bows. With so many talented bowyers, so many beautiful woods and the many different weights and lengths is really a matter of what you can afford and how long you have been at it.
