Does anyone take a back up bow with them?

[Friend]

Planning for the unexpected in dealing with a primary component, especially in this case, may prove to be a most prudent decision.

Went on an elk hunt once. Took 2 sets of limbs. Guess what, the handle broke!

What Joe said..........never needed it yet but you never know!

You all have just about given me enough of an excuse to buy another set of limbs...lol.

I follow the ol' American Express moto: "Don't leave home without it."

Always an extra bow with limbs and an extra string (already shot in) along with "extra" arrows JIC.....

Always...you never know.

[Bjorn]

I have 2 identical ACS CX takedowns and extra strings always along.
Don't want to go as bowhunter and become a camper!      

[smokin feathers]

always if i am going very far from home. have never needed one but you never know. its 6 1/2 hours to my furtherest lease and there is nothing around there to do with archery for 100 miles!!

My pignut hickory self bow. Left and right handed so it works no matter which bow I have as my primary.

Always, with a couple 2 or 3 strings.. You never know what's going to happen.

ALWAYS!!!!

[YORNOC]

Absolutely

[Night Wing]

I always carry a backup bow on package hunts and/or on hunts on private land which I've been invited to and which is far from my home.

Once my hunting partner backed his truck up over his bow while we were hunting elk.  So since then I've always had a back up case of" backups"  or whatever.  Also an extra stretched string.

Hope you guys who only take one bow don't have happen what happened to my buddy as mentioned above--your Australian hunt might be over.  Of course you righties always have options not available to guys who shoot lefty.  :(

[RUTANDSTRUT]

always have a backup on a trip.  i have 2 identicle of my go to bow(s) (widow psax) just for this reason.  a great trip can turn into a disaster quickly if only one bow was brought!

[GRAYBEARD]

Extra limbs and 2 extra shot-in strings

[elkken]

I have done both, depends on the remoteness of the trip. I did have some limb bolts strip on me on a back country elk hunt once and I had a spare bow with me thankfully. And I always have extra strings in my pack that are ready to go with nock point and silencers.
