I don't even have a dedicated "go to bow" and therefore no back-up either. Frankly, most of the time this is a dilemma!    

However, more to your question. When I finally settle on a hunter for the season and if I'm going beyond commuting distance from my home, I pack a backp-up.

The back-up will be tuned to the same arrows.

Whenever I travel off island to hunt, I always take two bows, usually two of my Schafer Silvertips or 1 Tip and my Brackenbury Quest. I shoot the same arrow out of all my bows and they are all close in weight so they all shoot the same therefore back up is not a problem.

My go to bow is a 55# 60" Gail Martin Classic takedown. My backups depending on circumstances and just plain whim are a Hatfield takedown or a Dreamcatcher in the same draw wieghts so they shoot the same arrows. I lost a limb bolt on one of my takedowns many years ago on a trip to West Virginia and man was I glad I had a backup as I was able to take a nice 8pt.(nut)

When I go to CO for elk I do take a back up.  Don't for deer because I usually am not that far from home.  My primary bow is a 56# Pronghorn.  Just got a 48# Pronghorn but don't have any practice with it yet.

My back-up bow is a second identical set of limbs for my Sarrels Blueridge takedown longbow. As long as my riser is intact, I am good to go. I also have a Sarrels Bobcatt takedown recurve that is my back-up, back-up bow.
