Does anybody shoot just one?

[buckeye_hunter]

Same recurve for the last 3 years with no intention of switching. I have some other bows, but they are for a youth program I am working on starting through my church.

Excellent point Orion!

The longer it is to hunting season the more bows I'm shooting, even in a single day. It's not unusual for me to shoot at least a half-dozen different bows -- all recurves.

As hunting season approaches I start to narrow down what I'm going to hunt with -- about 2 months out. No later than a month out I'm down to "the" bow. I won't hardly touch another one during the entire season.  

I select my hunting bow based upon which one I shoot best and is quiet. Frankly, I feel very good with any of them at 20 and under and I won't shoot further than that anyway.

This will only be my 3rd season "back" to recurves after shooting compounds for 34 years (and recurves before that). I could see the time coming when I tag a deer with my "go to bow" and then switch to a different bow just for the fun of it.

Same bow 20 years.  One other that is a backup-have only shot maybe 50 arrows through it.

I shoot one longbow, and one recurve.  I may eventually order an identical longbow at a higher weight.  But I believe that I have determined that these are the model bows that I want to shoot.  Period.

I think.

I shoot dozens of bows, although I do have favorites that see much more action than others.

I have two identical CHX same weight pull and length so it is like shooting only one bow one is backup I also have a sax that I do not shoot just have it because it was my first widow it is different length and lighter weight I like my pcxs better and may sell the sax some day.   Widow

I have several, but have that "ONE" that fits like a glove.  When returning to shooting it after playing with the others, it is like an old homecoming, pulling up a chair next to the fire.  A comforting thing.
I shoot 3D tournaments with two fellas that only shoot one bow... and both of them are darned good shots. I can almost tell you what their final score will be at the beginning of the tournament.  Very consistant, they are.  Good archers, and gentlemen to boot.

I shoot several for different applications.  And I even have a few just for deer, I like having to pick one for a certain day. They are all fantastic performing bows and I know how to shoot every one of them.
I may be a devoted one woman guy, but I'm a bow pig.

I only have two bows. They're listed in my signature. I shoot each one very well so I don't mind alternating between the two if something should happen to either one of them on a package type hunt.

I do a lot of trading, buying, selling as shooting different types of bows is enjoyable. If I was just shooting one bow it would get boring for me. 3 piece Hummingbirds, Dale Dye recurves, Tomahawk, and even one Titan recurve round out the stable. Would shoot better with one bow, but would miss the different types of bows. Thanks, Roy

I have sooo many bows and I love them all.I am able to shoot 6 different bows a day,but most of the time I shoot inside the 15 yards range and I don't see a great difference at this distance.When I decide wich one pick up for hunting I become confident of the trajectory in a few days and so fast I can switch from one bow to another pretty fast.Maybe the reason is that I shoot several hundreds arrows every day since years.

[Hoyt]

I shoot the only one I got a Quinn 64" Stallion. Hopefully in a couple of wks. I'll be shooting a 64" Sasquatch.

There is another saying about variety being the spice of life.  

[daveycrockett]

I might fit the one bow category. I currently have one riser and 3 sets of limbs.

[jonsimoneau]

I pretty much stick with one brand.

[drewsbow]

I only shoot one at a time does that count ?  

[Stonedog]

I shoot my homemade HBI longbow.....60# at my 25" draw.....works for me....so no need to change....same weight ash arrows with the same heads.....

As I have gotten older....I have learned to not fix what is not broke!

Beat me to it, was going to say the same thing!

[cahaba]

I just shoot my Hill but I have a different brand bow that is a backup. I'm blessed to be on Nates (Sunset Hill) list and I will definately get one of his. It might be the "one".
