Just one bow? or many?

[threeunder]

Wondering how many of you have relegated yourself to just one bow (ie only KMags or only MOABS).  Do you feel your shooting improved significantly?
I own 10 bows and each has their own personality and feel.
As of late though, I've begun to consider selling off all but one and keeping the one that works for me.  I would get another one just for a backup and then excel ( or at least get decent...LOL) with that bow.
Would like your thoughts on pros amd cons of it.
Thanks
Ken

I shoot a Cari-Bow Slynx-PERIOD Until deer season is over then I may play with  my selfbow some chasin rabbits.

I like all mybows but I do dedicate myself to just one for the season with a backup along just in case. I've also started thinking about getting rid of more than a few that i don't use much anymore. I tend to use the same couple over and over...Wes Wallace mentor, Bear TD and  Stalker

I have one bow period at the monent. A pronghorn longbow. Ill probably get one more for a back up and would love to have one of the pronghorn recurves!  For me I have always like shooting the same bow... Just feels better to me I guess

[Hit-or-Miss]

I have a bunch, too many. But to be honest, I love them all. I like to have a spare, or two, or ten, .....!!!!!!!!! And the truth is, they all shoot about the same. Bears, Damon Howatts, Samick, Ben Pearson, etc., for me, after setting them up to shoot off the shelf, they all shoot about the same at 20 yards or so, provided I'm in my groove and able to concentrate 100%. At longer distances, the longer, heavier riser 62" AMO's bows do shoot better, but at hunting range (for me, under 20 yards), 52", 56", 58" all shoot like my 60" AMO's, and vice versa.
Except for the old Red Wing Hunter (58" AMO). It fits my hand better, points quicker, lines up faster with my eye, even at my 29.5" draw. Of course I should expect this, as Bob Lee designed it.

Sold all but one of my bows about 6 months ago.I decided to just stick with one bow at least till hunting season is over.It hasn't been easy I have been tempted a few times with bows in the classified.But I am shooting better then ever by just shooting one bow,I also have a set of back up limbs for this bow.

I have tried to thin the herd many times, it don't work. I like bows, if they are near the same poundage I can shoot any of them well on any given day. Every time I have sold a few it just gave me more money to buy something even better or that I always wanted. I sold 4 bows and next thing ya know I had a Silvertip. I guess selling 4 and getting one is thinning the herd....lol!     I just like bows!

One bow for me.

I decided to take the money I would spend on more bows and invest it into ONE big hunt each year.

[JamesKerr]

I have only two custom bows and both are Tomahawks. The other bows I have don't get much attention as they were bows I bought while I was still learning the basics and didn't want to spend the big bucks on a bow I couldn't shoot to its potential.

[Gdpolk]

I only have one bow and don't really want more.  I could see the benefit of having a backup bow but in reality I consider my longbow to be more reliable than my firearms and should my longbow fail, I still have guns to hunt with.  

I have thought about selling my one piece bow to buy a two piece take down so it'll fit better in my single-cab truck.  I don't know if that will happen though.  My Sierra shoots so freaking smooth that it would be hard to convince me to give it up.

[snakebit40]

I'm almost exactly like Sam. Sold them all but two and save my money for hunting trips. I have two Silvertips and don't see a need to change. But nothing wrong with those that do.

Although I own a Black Widow with two sets of limbs and would never sell it.  I have become a one bow guy, Quinn.  I have owned several quality bows and they all had their individual issues, all were beautiful and I loved them all.  For me, nothing fits my hand and eye like the mighty Quinn. I have just acquired my third riser and 6th set of limbs.

[YORNOC]

I use different bows for different situations. I usually hunt with 6 or so different bows each season. I practice with them all and am just as accurate with one as the other.
I'm like Ron, I love bows.
I certainly see nothing wrong with shooting only one bow, nor shooting many. As long as accuracy is not compromised.

[awbowman]

I use a Toelke Super D right now.  I went through quite a few before I found "the one".  I have a back up bow, but haven't shot it in a while.  Never thought I'd be a one bow guy, but here I am.

[L. Harris]

For years I had many (32 at one time with 19 being Black Widows), and was mediocre at best in my ability to shoot anything! I then started selling off the herd and centering on one longbow and one recurve. My dream bow would be 1 riser with recurve as well as a set of longbow limbs. This would give me the same grip. Never happened, however, I have found my dream longbow as well as a week ago found my dream recurve. They both melt into my hand gripwise and they both shoot exactly the same! They have boosted my confidence over the top, and to me, confidence is what I needed!

I'd always want a backup.  If you have only one bow and something goes wrong with it, or it's stolen, then what?  I wouldnb't want to be caught without a bow during hunting season.

I have about a dozen bows, and almost all of them get used for hunting at one time or another throughout the year.  I don't buy the argument that one will drastically improve one's accuracy by shooting only one bow.  A good shot can shoot any bow accurately.  It's well executed and regular practice, not the number of bows one has, that determines how accurate one will be.

[Biathlonman]

Just the Toelke Chinook, though I do have 4 of them right now.  I'll sell a couple here soon, just have to decide which two to keep.

[dan d]

I too have thought about going with one bow (of course I would want a similar backup) but I think I would get better only shooting one bow verses confusing my brain with multiple bows that each shoot differently & have different grips.

[BUCKY]

Two of the same for me. I have 2 Kanati longbows

[riverrat 2]

I'm with ron w. I just like bows. rat'
