How many bows do you hunt with during the archery season?

[longbow fanatic 1]

Whether it's deer hunting, small game or upland game season, how many different bows do you hunt with during the season? Do you make a conscious effort to hunt with a certain bow(s) in your stable a few time per year? Perhaps you rotate the order so that all your bows get autumn air on their limbs.

One: 50@28 ACS CX, wood arrows same set up for everything.

I have several that I could do that with but stick to my TallTines most of the time. I hunt on the ground in a ghillie and when backed up into a really tight spot I have a 54" Shrew Classic Carbon T/D that is hard to beat. I did hunt some with a really sharp '63 Kodiak last year since the bow was 50 y/o in 2013.

Hunters who use one bow  are usually killers!    

[macbow]

Only hunt with one that I made. Doesn't mean I'm a killer though

last season I alternated every weekend between my Fox High Sierra and my Wes Wallace Mentor.  But this upcoming season I intend to get all them out.

[Plumber]

I only hunt with one bow per season If Iam going to switch I switch in the spring an practice with that bow all summer.I will switch up bows during 3-D season because It is fun to shoot all kinds of bows.I just like to settle in with one bow during hunting season

2- Holm-Made River Runner and a RER Vortex, both 43# @ 28" and I draw 29", cedar arrows or 2016 Alum.

All of them.  20 maybe.  I killed 4 deer (3 bucks in 3 states and a doe) and 2 coyotes last fall.  6 kills with 6 different recurves and longbows.  I use all of them.

[katman]

3, longbow, recurve and hybrid, just depends.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Only one at a time  

[Brock]

I tend to choose one bow for a season and sometimes an entire year...not switching out unless I get blood.

I deer hunted and hog hunted with Mohawk Sparrowhawk starting Aug2013 through Feb 2014 when I got an old boar hog with her.  She is cleaned up and on wall and readying another bow for turkey season starting in two weeks.  Hopefully I will be able to retire this one for a bit and pick yet another for hogs and then deer season again starting 15 August.

Only hunted one this season, Fedora Thee Longbow.  Next season I suspect it will be my new Stewart, or possibly a Big Jim, but only one.

I typically switch halfway through our early 6 week season, then use something else during our late 2 week season after Christmas.

[BJP]

Usually only one but this year I'm starting with a 1952 grizzly I just got and when she gets blood I may go back to my take down but I'm really starting to like the old one so I may use her all season.

[pdk25]

I usually intend to use several, but end up grabbing my go-to thunderchild.  I did kill with two different bow on my last hunt, though.

I usually use two different bows.  One higher draw weight for the early season and a lighter one for December.  I have four recurves and three longbows and kind of rotate them from year to year.
