Multiple bows in a season

[KentuckyTJ]

It dawned on me the other night I have killed deer with two different bows this season. I think its time to bring another from the bullpen. Next up is the Zipper SXT. Strung and shot last night, man its a shooter and fairly easy on the eyes. Hopefully I can make it three bows for the season before it comes to a close.

Have you used multiples or tend to stick with one?

I too have taken multiple bows for a walk in a single season. Can't say I've taken game with all of them but certainly let them see the woods!

I'm sure you'll be posting the 3rd soon TJ... and somehow I won't be surprised!

[Michael Arnette]

Yep, I've harvested deer with a couple different bows a few times but now prefer to stay with one just to save time    
Good luck to ya!

I've used two bows this year. I'm going to start using a new one I put together and try and get another one.
Good luck to you TJ I'm sure you will be posting success photos soon

I'm pretty much a "one bow" guy. The year I had Hope I got several critters each with two different bows!

Good luck getting a notch in the SXT!

That is a beautiful bow. And a great picture as well.

[Keith Zimmerman]

Sure.  I cant stick with one bow.  I killed 3 bucks, a doe, and 2 coyotes last year with 6 different bows.

Nice Keith!

One at a time for me. I get hung up on one and that's all I want to shoot.

This season, I hunted with a Hill Big 5, a '65 Kodiak, and a '75 Super Kodiak. I'll be taking out a '68 Super K next week when the late archery season opens

I've taken animals with multiple bows in a year....and even different bows on the same hunt...and even on the same day.

Killed a turkey with a Bear Takedown, and Elk with an A&H ACS and a whitetail with a Morrison Shawnee this year.  Not unusual to have several bows in camp at once, and switch off frequently, including same day.

I usually end up changing bows sometime during my hunting season. This year though, I'm going to try and stick with one for the whole year.   :rolleyes:    :D

[womblesd]

Heck, I only owned one bow, (black widow) for 25 years!

[Alexander Traditional]

I tend to have to stick with one bow.

I've hunted with two different bows this year but I haven't even shot at a deer this season so far.

[Keith Zimmerman]

Good thread.  Ive often wondered how common it is to switch bows.  Ive taken as many as 12 on a deer hunt.  With so many bows I try to switch as much as I can.  I have no problems switching, whether its a longbow or recurve.

The only bow I havent killed with is my selfbow with bamboo arrows.  I did get some hair though this year in rifle season.

[KentuckyTJ]

Wow, interesting some of you are using different bows on the same hunt. I've never thought about doing that as I am trying to stay somewhat consistent. But If I had to Im sure I could adapt. Most my bows shoot very similar and a few there is no difference at all.

[YORNOC]

Always multiple.
Last year I started throwing a longbow in my arsenal too.
My go to Silvertip recurve most of the time, but
the colder it gets..I shoot lighter recurves.
On rainy days, I shoot my Plain Jane Wapiti.
Pheasants- I shoot some of my vintage bows.
