What's your bow inventory?
« on: September 07, 2007, 01:24:00 AM »
Yup.  I know you only need one bow, but having more than one and having 'em all be different is one of the things that makes these bows so much more fun than compounds.  (My wife swears her hoyt and matthews are different, but I'm not sure I buy that)
Anyway, give me something to drool over: post a pic of what's in your bow rack.

This thread is inspired by VABowBender's response in the things you don't need to buy thread, btw...

I've only got one I currently use for hunting.  It's an Assenheimer recurve I had made back in 1991. I also have my first hunting bow circa 1979 or so, it's a Bear Grizzly. (Can't post pics at the moment)

    I'd like to get a longbow to hunt with and am looking at and into a number of them including TurkeyCreek and The Toelke Whip to name a couple.

Rack 1
 

Rack 2

 

Can't give you an exact list but each rack has 38 pegs (19 per side, double sided). Quite a few of the pegs have 2 bows on them, and there are 25 bows hanging on the walls. Somewhere around 120 bows give or take.
There is always someone that knows more than you, and someone that knows less than you, so you can always learn and you can always teach

Mickey - there is absolutely no excuse for that many bows, and I am ashamed of you ....... So, send one rack, intact, to me as quickly as possible  - to save your good reputation    :goldtooth:  

It's kinda like I always say - "There is no bad reason to buy (make, get) another bow!"

I've got about a dozen, plus a couple up for sale, and one in the making (with plans for many more of those, the good Lord willing).

Some of them:

I'm down to three, super slow orange self bow with more issues than you can shake a stick at, and mid speed glass longbow, and a super fast machine. My best guess is 110 FPS, 170 FPS, and 300+ FPS.
