Three now.  Don't really want more than that, though I wouldn't mind tuning the combination a bit!

5 hanging as I write, owned as many as 15 custom bows at one time. About 30 custom or so lifetime.  Many more garage sale/bargain recurves etc.  I really love shooting and owning bows...a nice clean "inexpensive" hobby.

I have too many hobbies so I only have 3 but all are quality customs.  My problem is if it shoots a projectile I like it so I spend my mad money on a little bit of everything.

2, both of which I'm going to sell.
Still looking for "The One" or three actually.. maybe four.
Going to the shorter bow, 2 recurves for hunting, 1 Grayling Bear short recurve and MAYBE a longbow.
Sometimes feels like hell trying to decide, but I soon get over that...

Currently 4 in total (3 recurves and 1 longbow), though that's probably going to change a lot (giving one of my recurves to a friend this weekend as I got him hooked on trad shooting recently and I hate to see my old hunting bow just collecting dust, it deserves to be in the woods) as I have plans to sell some and maybe acquire a custom recurve later this year, cutting my total down to 1 or 2 at the most by years end.

3 Eastern Red Cedar sinewed bows, 58", 62", 64"
1 Hickory backed maple
1 hickory backed Cumaru

5-6 in progress
Lastly the one I'm forbidden to speak of on Tradgang

Think that makes about 20

I think the current count is 22, not counting 3 little fiberglass youth bows that will go to my grandson when he gets big enough to shoot. The latest is an osage self bow by Vinson Miner that I bought at the Alafia rendezvous in Florida last week. I am hoping to get some cane arrows I made to shoot off it.

My 5 Hills, my Kolomi (Lynn Harrelson), and my Deathwish get most of the work, though.

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it may incriminate me.

Only one.  It does everything I need.  I do wish it were a 2-piece so it would fit in my single cab truck better but I won't be giving up a great shooting 1-piece for that convenience unless I find a 2-piece that shoots as good or better in my hands.

One, I would like to grow that number.  I just can not figure out how to shoot more than one at a time.
