I have 14 but two are grandkids' bows. I have been selling off a few but a friend gave me a nice old Ben Pearson longbow this summer.

51 left handed,recurves longbows and selfbows. 11 right handed, mostly recurves found at garage sales. Always looking for more.

Jack, if your handing out bows I could use a LH '61 or '62 Kodiak 50# or less if posisable.

Hello all, I have been lurking for about eighteen months now, and just registered today.
I have owned four and currently have three.
My first was a 48" osage stick bow that my grandfather made for me when I was ten, I still have it, but years sitting in my parents' garage have cause some cracks to form. It was pretty crude and had a nylon string, but I loved it.
My second was a 45# recurve that I bought for $45 when I was fourteen. I ended up selling it to pay for gas or books when I was in college, and the guy I sold it to got an eight-point white tail a week later.
Early this year, after deciding to get back into traditional archery, I bought a Samick Sage TDR at 50# and additional limbs at 40#.
A friend at work suggested I talk to Rick Ellis at Striker Bows about technique and after spending some time with him and shooting some of his bows, I placed an order that was delivered last Wednesday.
Last I have the Striker Stinger TDL which is at 56" and 51#. I chose the new shorter length for maneuverability in heavy brush (like back home in NW Ark) and my draw length is only 27".
I am extremely pleased with this bow, and my chrono test hits in the 151-159 range with wood arrows--which I consider pretty good considering the short length and the total lack of hand shock.
The Samick will probably find its way to craigslist this winter.

I can omly answer this quetion if you promise not to tell my wife - haha!

I own 8 (I think) but like you really only shoot one. That one would be my Sarrels Blueridge takedown longbow.

It is really not a fair question............I have a collection of pre 1963 Kodiaks, Kodiak Specials and a few Grizzlies; and then there's the bows I hunt with.

11 recurves with my first Bigfoot Hybrd on the way....

wollelybugger · « **Reply #92 on:** November 23, 2011, 02:41:00 AM »

Just bought two more tonight, two old old Bears a Kodiak and a Griz. I can't keep a good count because they keep moving on me.lol

Beav · « **Reply #93 on:** November 23, 2011, 07:46:00 AM »

A few more than my wife knows. UPS delivers to the office!

daniel boon · « **Reply #94 on:** November 23, 2011, 08:02:00 AM »

I had too many,just got some new limbs and then riser, and 2 more coming early next year

rraming · « **Reply #95 on:** November 23, 2011, 09:41:00 AM »

one recurve and two longbows, I ordered another recurve and will get rid of the longbows - so 2 eventually and I will keep it at that

gonzoso · « **Reply #96 on:** November 23, 2011, 09:47:00 AM »

I am new, I only have two. I only plan on 3 total.

I have a Samick Sage and a Bear Kodiak Magnum I got for cheaper than the sage.

I want to buy a nice bow in February that I really really like and then I'm not going to get any more bows.

I mostly have the Bear because I got a good deal on it and it's a Bear, I feel like I should have at least one!

I try to live a simple minimalist lifestyle but all my hobbies preclude me from doing so.

As I kayak, spinfish, flyfish, mt bike, road bike, run, do triathlon, play banjo, hike, camp, hunt, shoot archery, ride my motorcycle, etc I've accumulated a lot of stuff.

Gil Verwey · « **Reply #97 on:** November 23, 2011, 09:51:00 AM »

I had many. I found the perfect bow for me and got down to one bow. I was going to change my Tradgang handle to "One Bow Two Strings".

Then, since I like this bowyers bows so much, I had him build me one. Then I went on a collecting rampage. I like these bows so much I intend to try to donate them to the archery museum with Dr. Grayson's collection.

I still shoot the first bow I have from this bowyer everyday and hunt with it exclusively, but I enjoy his other bows also. I think my new handle will be "Shoot One Bow Look at Many"!
