I currently have 10 bows on the rack. One is for my daughter and one is for the wife. Out of the 10 bows two are recurves the rest are longbows.

I have one bow that I shoot, my Martin Hunter, and then an old Pearson that I'm not sure is in shooting condition anymore, and one of those fibreglass youth bows, so technically 3...do the last two count?

Currently 2 recurves, 1 longbow on order. Bought and sold probably 50 in the last 5 years but always try to limit myself to 3-4 bows on the rack.

When I first got into trad archery and joined this group of amazing people, one thing I did not understand was the number of bows most tradgangers have/had.  I mean, you can only shoot one at a time and pick one, learn to shoot it, stick with it. Well, like I said that was in the beginning. To answer you question, I now own 4 with hopefully many more to come.

Over the years probably 50 longbows and recurves.. bought, sold and traded in my quest to find want I liked and shot best. I'm not a collector or saver so if it's not used it goes! I'm very happy with my 2 Bigjim Buffalo t/d's, a 60" and a 62" both around 50#@28"

I have 11 on my rack presently, but am going to thin the herd a bit. I have one on order from Kirk and will get another from Sixby. Will keep the Habu, a Martin Hunter my wife gave me, the Eagle Wings, the Sasquatch, and Dye recurves. A Border, a Lone Wolf, a Widow, and a Howatt Hunter will be going on the block soon.
