Does anyone hunt with more than one bow throughout the season?

[buckeyebowhunter]

hey everyone, I have been practicing a lot already for the upcoming fall whitetail season, and I have been shooting several of the bows that I own. I have developed a large amount of confidence in two of my bows (my Bear Kodiak Magnum, and my Bear Kodiak Hunter). I guess my question is does anyone hunt with more than one of their bows during the actual hunting season? I understand that it is probably a good idea to simply stick to the one that you shoot best, however I shoot both bows fairly well, and each bow has it's advantages. For example i feel more condifence with my kodiak hunter at longer shots, while it is much easier to shoot my kodiak magnum from treestands and ground blinds. Would it be a bad idea to switch between bows during the season? Just wondering what you guys thought about this subject.

I don't have a problem shifting from one bow to another.  In fact I'll use up to four different bows during hunting season, since they all give me the same trajectory.

[JParanee]

I'm guilty of it    

This year gonna try and keep it between 2

[WESTBROOK]

Yup, me too. I have a Shrew set-up for pop-up blinds and a Hill style Longbow for when I'm not.

i switch between two bows. i just take a couple practice shots and i can adjust easilly

I use 2 different longbows depending on the situation. They both shoot basically the same

I have and use different bows for Deer. One for stands and blinds and others for still hunting. I think you should use yours exactly the way you  described.Enjoy your bows and good luck to your Deer hunting

I own one bow at the moment. Guess I'm stuck

I hunt with both my LB and my Recurve during a season. I like to switch it up a bit

[elkbreath]

quiet and quick bows for goats and deer, heavier bows for elk.  Every now and then a mulie will get elk medicine if I catch one off guard while huntin elk in the timber.

Yes, after developing a precise arrow/broadhead/bow combination for each that makes it easy to switch.

I usually use several. Like using different screwdrivers, different bows excel in different applications. One good example is the colder it gets, the lighter I go in draw weight.

[Izzy]

Usually switch between 3 longbows back and forth. Just so one doesnt get jealous and I miss them if I hang em up too long.

I've hunted with the same bow for the last 3 seasons. I've got other bows, but that particular one ( a 60# DreamCatcher) is the cats meow for me.

[KentuckyTJ]

I don't have any problems switching either. I have five bows I can do it with. They all need some tree time!

[Ken Taylor]

I've used two bows for several years now.

Same brand, model, and arrow grain weight per pound of bow pressure, but different wood, thickness of handle and weight.

Everything seems fine to me.

I have 3 or 4 hanging at the cabin.  I grab what ever appeals to me when I am ready to leave for the woods although this year I will be leaning towards my selfbow that I made until I kill a deer with it. Keep in mind my shots are 10 yards and closer so there will  be less room for error.

[LONGSTYKES]

I hunt with mainly one bow, with another as a back up bow.  Both set-up to shoot the same arrows and close poundage. I try not to switch back and forth, pretty hard with so many beautiful bows.

[Tom]

I frequently hunt with several bows during season, just pick one and go with it for a particular hunt. I usually shoot a few arrows before I hit the woods to stretch muscles and wake up somewhat. I know alot of people pick one bow and hunt that all season but at this point I like carrying more than one bow through the season. Besides, it doesn't matter to me which bow brings home the meat.

The last 2 years I have killed deer with 3 different bows. I have killed a deer on opening day each season with my Tree's recurve. This year might be all Firefly. Got 3 of em.
