Only 2 longbows right now, a Foley and a ThunderStick, but there in the 50 & 52 pound range. I am now convincing myself I need also need a 40 pound bow to Loosen up with and work on my form ! sounds like a good reason to own 3 bows !

Currently 4 longbows, 2 recurves and 2 recurves on the way. I still want to add a Shrew and a Schafer to my collection.

Had 8 (3 White Wolf bows, 1 Bear Montana, 1 Robertson Vision Falcon IV, and a Black Widow PSRIII), but sold them all except my Browning that I got from my grandpa (and a wheelie)!  I have a nice Howatt Hunter on loan from Dirtguy and plans to get a PSR in a year once I can put the cash together for it.  At that point, I think that one bow is all I will need.  I guess I am trying to live parsimoniously, like Thoreau suggests... as an English teacher and professed transcendentalist, it is import for me to at least try to practice what I preach!

35 in immediate view...
There are more in other rooms.
I don't rotate. I may take one or two to a shoot to see if they want to get sold.

Trade secrets for Adventerous Bowmen who are married;

"No honey, that's not a new bow, I have had that thing forever..."

 Or...

"Seriously sweetie', you don't remember seeing me in the backyard shooting that bow two years ago? Remember I couldn't hit anything, so I said I was going to put it away for awhile. You still don't remember seeing it before...?"

 And...

"Of course I didn't buy that bow, I don't have any money! That was my Grandfather's old recurve he gave to me before he passed away".

 Follow up statement...

 "No honey, none of this is new, Grandfather left me a bunch of old Archery stuff, not just numerous bows, but also arrows, books, tackle, etc. Most of it is packed away, I have been digging some of it out recently as I have been missing Gramp's".

Two and that is all I need.  I do have one new one about finished.  Then there is one on order due in about a year.  Thinking of one more I want to try.  In the end I plan to be down to three max.  Maybe four, but that will be it.  I still have to figure out how to pay for the one on order for next year and the one I want to try so maybe they will not happen at all, but I have some time. At least at this point I know what I like and what works for me.  That keeps it to a reasonable for me limit.

More than a few.  I could easily open my own shop with all that I have.  I sell a couple and buy another one.  I am really trying hard to get rid of some, but you guys aren't buying enough.  Yeah, that's the ticket, it's all y'alls fault.  If you bought more bows I wouldn't have so many.  That's what I'm telling the wife-and I'm sticking to my story!!!!
