Like my wife when our daughter asked if she had an addiction to buying shoes, she said "no, I really only wear a few different pairs" I have a few but only shoot two of them much anymore.

I have seven, one was my dad's, one was my first real bow(it is about 50 years old) an original Bear SuperMag, and a nice recurve, and 3 very nice longbows. I have pretty much decided that is going to be it for me.  I might let the nice recurve and/or one of the longbows go, but it would only be because I have never had a take down bow and would like to try a very specific brand of bow in that design.

4 at this moment, but would like to get down to 3 if I could find a good 2 piece takedown.

I confess - 9 and 1 on the way. But what the hey, there are worse addictions. At least that's what I keep telling my wife!

I counted 44 on my rack the other night, which probably 2/3rds are classics or vintage. After reading a few of these posts, 44 isnt excessive at all!   :biglaugh:     :archer2:
