Heresy!

Actually, I've been shooting only my #45 Martin Howatt Hunter for the past year and I think the only thing I'll replace it with is a self bow I hope to make this winter.

I have two Rose Oak King Panthers that are within 1 pound of each other.  That's it, the rest are gone.  Think my shooting has improved a bunch too, but that's just me.  Narrowed down my arrow choices a bunch too.

I've been thinking of ordering a t/d longbow for spring turks.  TP's longbow is so nice I bet he could put together a great t/d for me.  Wait a second, I have a Sapphire Hawk I haven't looked at since Septmber.  Its still rolled up in the case from my trip to Ray's.  Should I sell my Massie to help finance a new one, I hardly touch it?

Obvoiusly no, and I've tried.

I only own one "good" bow at a time. I do trade/sell often though. I have an old beater for back up that is always around if needed. My recently aquired Robertson Fatal Styk may be around for a while, heckuva bow. A wise man onmce told me to stick with one bow and your shooting will improve, Im slowly proving him right to myself......LOL!

My plan after being on here for a bit and seeing all the great bows people are/were getting was to have a "stable" full. However now my thoughts are to having two only. Maybe not the two I now have, but one LB and one recurve. Well I may have my LB for good - Mowhawk 66" 54#@28. I sure like that one and haven't seen one to beat it. For now. Even with a really good picture, I find a big difference holding one than looking at it.
My recurve is a Chekmate Falcon 60" 54#@28 that is undergoing some handle work to fit better. It may move on, but for now my focus is to learn about my arrows. Rob S. told me it's all about the arrow. So I want to put my money into that part of the thing and see if I can get these two shooting right. Maybe a new Zipper or Stalker or Tall Tines or...
Shorter answer - No.

I have a couple of other bows hanging around but the only one I shoot all the time is my pronghorn. I've been shooting this for about 10yrs? And I think
 the only other bow I would shoot would be another pronghorn. This bow fits me like my beautiful wife of 27yrs

[ronp]

Not me, but I am thinking of going to just one recurve and one longbow.  Actually, I only have one longbow, a Don Dow that I just bought.  It's the only longbow I have been able to get comfortable with.  I would like to try a Beeler, though.  As far as recurves, I only shoot one (BW PTF).  The others are great bows (another BW, Greyling Bear SK, McCollough 59'er, Quinn, Hoyt, etc.) but they sit on the rack.  They are too nice not to shoot.  I am giving one to my brother if he wants to continue to shoot.  The others? I dunno!

I have only two bows now. Both Blacktails take downs. I'd like to get a third Blacktai, a one piece Blacktail. But, I can't justify it. The old; "I want it, but I really don't need it" syndrome.

[BFinegan]

I have 2 bows but focus on shooting only one. I don't switch back and forth. Purchased the second bow thinking I might want 64' vs 62". Shot the 64" for a season and shot it well but, went back to the 62". Knowing this, my next bow will a "custom" built to my spec.

I'd rather shoot one good bow very well.

[straitera]

Really admire anyone disciplined & confident enough to own 1 bow for everything. That wouldn't be me.

[ishoot4thrills]

I'm a one bow man, except for the bow I use for bowfishing(Browning Wasp). Everything else, I do with my Predator takedown. Specs in my signature below.

I`ve been shooting the same one since August..does that count?RC

[swp]

BW PSR is basically all I have shot for the last 4 years.

[BCWV]

I know I would probably shoot better if I stayed with one bow but I can't. No will power. I sometimes take 2 or 3 out in the backyard to shoot at a time.
 I'm a bowaholic!

When i started this post I was pretty sure most people had several bows, I too feel somewhat guilty about not shooting a particular bow, thats why i sold my beloved silvertip at denton hill this year. I shouldn't feel guilt at all, bows don't have feelings, and I think i'm getting to the age (41) that I don't need it all anymore.

[Red Beastmaster]

I've been shooting my new Brackenbury pretty exclusively since I got it last winter. It's hard for me to stick with one bow and I know I shouldn't be messing around during bowseason, but I couldn't take it anymore. This morning I strung up the Abbott longbow and got it out of my system! Man, did that feel great!

I followed up with a big practice session with the Brack so I would be good to go on tomorrow evening's hunt.

[DeerSpotter]

I have ONE ! Bow Maker ! (Chad Holm )

But I have 3 of his Bows !

[PAPA BEAR]

[Ben Maher]

Hill style 68" 52# @ 27"
