I have about a dozen at this time.......I have bought and sold, gave away, and loaned out many more.   I sold one I made to a coworker for next to nothing and he later sold it too.  It's the only one I really miss.  You didn't ask but I also have 2 five gallon buckets full of arrows.

Let's see...

4 Shawnees, 3 Cougars, and 1 MOAB...

Kwyk Styk that is being traded for a Habu Death Adder, and another MOAB on order...

So, I guess that comes up to 10 total... Oh, and another set of Shawnee Dakota Carbon Foams that I need a riser for...  11???

Two longbows, a Blackfeather and a Zipper SXT. Two recurves also, a Dakota Pro Hunter and very soon a Blacktail Snakebit.

I can still only shoot 'em one at a time.

I've got 2 and one on the way.

My all-around bow is my 68"  64#@31" OL Adcock non-acs takedown.  I've got a 69" HH Halfbreed on the way.

My other bow is a 64" BBO 55#@30".  It's a little short for my draw, so I'm going to shave it down for my wife.

I might be the odd man here, but I'm pretty satisfied with my setup.

I've got 7recurves and 5 longbows, and I've sold about 10 others. I've heard it said a man can never have to many bows. You can always use them to trade for hunts or other things. A wall full of bows makes for great conversation!!!

Oh, do we have to count the selfbows, too??  Then I have to amend my total with "way" more than a few.

Only 8 with 2 on the way. But they are for the grandkids after a bit of spit and polish.
So unless the GN ghost comes thru on Friday, I'm still an 8.
If I had 2 more bows with bigger tips, I could be a 10.
