I'm done, I love my current group.
2 Hills, a 60" Big Five and a 68" Cheetah
3 Widows, 2 PSR's and one TF.

More than I need, not as many as I want.

 :D

I have just counted 14 at present. That would be 1 long bow, and 13 recurves. I have sold three in the last couple of months. But bought two new ( from the early 70s) recurves also in that time. I find it easy to buy them, if I find the right bow at the right price. But hard to part with the old ones.

You can never own enough bows. My last count was 6 recurves and 4 longbows

[bofish-IL]

7 recurves and 2 selfbows. Man has to have backup bows for the backup bow and on and on.

My wifes says I have more bows than I could use for a week. My reply is 2 of them are right handed just in case I have to shoot a bow in each hand. Never know...

[Txnrog]

Well, If I counted wheels, I'd have 2 functional, plus a busted old darton - so 3 wheels one recurve

[GMMAT]

Honestly....if I knew nothing would ever happen to my hunting bow....I wouldn't have ordered a backup.  

I have 2 with the exact same specs.

[ballen28115]

I have 12 that I am planning to keep for me, and the kids have 4 more.  However, in the last 21 months, I have bought, sold, or traded away 35 more bows for me and 3 more for the kids.  I think I may have the addiction under control...

[zinndl]

4 and one more on the way. 2 long bows and 2 recurves; antoher recurve coming.

I think I'm at 27 or 28, I was going to thin the herd but I bought 2 more instead. 7 recurves, the rest longbows and a coumpound that I haven't shoot in about 3 years. I really like longbows, but I seem to shoot recurves better,don't know why, I just do. So is 21 longbows to many?????

[Jerry Wald]

ZERO  :(

Define Normal.

I don't think I have ever been normal, so I wouldn't know. When people ask me how many bows I have, I always say I don't know because they might think it's abnormal.

[COLongbow]

Two, a Bear Grizzly recurve and a Spirit longbow. My wife thinks it's rediculous to have more than one bow, I can only shoot one at a time, blah blah blah. How do you convince your wives that you JUST GOTTA HAVE THEM???

I really like shooting a longbow, but the low-wrist grip kills my bum wrist due to an old injury. I really want to order a custom Lost Creek with their recurve-like grip. It's for health purposes. What do you think the chances are of that idea going over???

[Mack Marine]

Let me  go count.... Came up with 17, just sold one, an always looking something new. LOL

Bear (12)
Ben Pearson (2)
Zipper (2)
Black Widow (1)

[crotch horn]

I think I have around 11 or 12. Still new to this so I haven't had as long to let the herd grow. Let's see: 2 Mikutas, 2 Bob lees, 2 Morrisons, 1 Sentman, 1 Big Horn, 1 JD Berry, 1 kit bow that I finished, 1 Pearson, and 1 Lost Creek. Might be a couple others but those bows come to mind. Need to sell a couple though. Love the Lost Creek and Morrisons the most. COLongbow, just order the Lost Creek. You won't be sorry. 7 of mine are longbows

[Mudd]

ron w "So is 21 longbows to many?????" It doesn't sound like it to me but if you think so, I love shooting the long ones...lol

COLongbow, I'm sorry to hear that your Spirit bow is creating problems for you. I know I love mine.

I guess I could offer to find you a recurve to trade you for it.

I'm here to help if I can...lol

God bless,Mudd

[COLongbow]

Ha Ha! Thanks, Crotch horn!
I really like the looks of the Lost Creeks, and the testimonials on this site are glowing. The grip is the big thing for me, I need a longbow with a recurve grip. I called Chad last week, great guy to talk to! Really loves to talk trad.

As far as the wife goes, I guess you're telling me it's easier to get forgiveness than permission, huh? Got me thinkin'....is Colorado too far for you to come visit me in the hospital?

[Mack_S]

6 as of right now...soon to be 7 with the adddition of a new recurve.  3 recurves, 2 self long bows, and a compound.

Hey Mudd,
Thanks for the offer of trade. I actually did a retrofit on my Spirit's grip. Took off the leather, glued on strips of leather belt material to build up the palm swell. Wrapped it in leather stripping and put a rubber Shur Grip over the top. Feels a lot better, really good in fact. Not pretty, but it makes my Spirit shootable for me without pain. I really like it, cocobolo dymondwood riser, goncalo alves limbs under clear glass. Chrono'd it at RMSGear and was kinda disappointed in the numbers..160 fps. Their machine might not have been accurate as it seems faster than that. One interesting thing about the Spirits is that Bryan uses a glass limb core like BW does. Says it gives the limbs stability. Not many bowyers doing that. Guess you like yours?
