How many of you are capable of shooting just one bow for an entire year? I shoot one "most" of the time but can't make myself just shoot one. Any body else in that category of mental instability?
One Bow?? For a whole year?? That just ain't right... :eek: :eek: :D :D

It is when thats all you got or can afford.

NOPE, not me!
I only have two, but rotate them. I will only switch when I have made a kill. Ive only switched once this year.
Black Widow PSR 56" 59@28" all I have shot for two years.
Yep...fear the man with one bow!...lol
I shoot every bow I own every time I shoot. All 1 of them.
Well, I've only shot one bow sporadically until now (if shooting one sporadically isn't an oxymoron I don't know what is). I really like the Morrison ILF and think I can stick with it. I usually say this and then get the itch to change later but I REALLY like this Morrison so it is much easier to do. It helps to know that I cannot possibly shoot any better with anything else. But I still look at the classifieds :D

Man, Im gettin some weird DT thing just thinkin bout ......one (big gulp)....bow :eek:
I've killed animals with four different bows this year.
Like Ben I`ve killed critters with 4 bows this year. A homemade longbow, two different Hill Bows and a Bob Lee recurve.RC
Is it really possible to have and shoot just one bow?
Those classified's are addictive - I don't think I've ever logged on without doing a run thru at least once..... Wishful thinkin and hoping I suppose...
How about "just one bow at a time?" Kinda limits the debate, though.
It could be worse.You could have and shoot just 1 arrow.
Blasphemy!
I never understood it really.
I have two bows and one collects dust. Haven't shot it in about a year. When I'm getting ready to shoot all I want is my one hunting bow.
I intend to use it for the next 3-5yrs. Eventually I'm going to build myself a real pretty one and then it'll be it for the rest of my life hopefully.
Never saw much sense in several bows. You can only get really good with one at a time.
:confused:
Not me,I shot a different bow each week from mid april to mid sept. and still did not shoot them all.But have always done that and they are all longbows,but different weights from 50# to 83#.
I own 4 and now that I have my rose oak it will be all i shoot. Ive never shot any bow better, tightest groups of my life.

Dave,
Can you shoot just one bow for a whole week?
I've shot only one bow for the last 2 years. Seems like its a part of me now. Only reason I'd consider another bow is for a backup.

I just shot one bow today. Does that count?
I shot 4 bows today,then ran out of light.
i WAS doing just fine !!
i had my little red wing (50# @ 28)and all was good...
THEN, i met 'hawksnest' and he was a kind and giving person; i then had a recurve AND a longbow (Hickory board 68" 44# @ 28)....
few weeks later; i met this George Stout fella: he TOO was a kind a benevolent preson (64" 52 @27) ...NOW i have 2 longbows and a recurve, one bow arm,several dozen arrows,two gloves....shoot just ONE !?!
i USE-TUH...Thanks for the help guys
:D :D :D :D :wavey:
That should be a compound bow question. They don't know what they're missing.
YEAH, RIGHT! Got 5 on the rack and shoot them every day. I shoot them all well so why just stick to one. Got three more coming. One bow,that just ain't right.

This must be a trick question :saywhat:
Unless you only own one bow it just ain't right to let the others feel neglected. :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
One bow for a week.... maybe... weelll, would you believe 4 days?
That's bow abuse! I have my fav's but I still try and give them all a work out now and then. Never know when you might need them, don't wanna piss them off!
I've never succeeded shooting two bows at the same time TonyW. I'd get one in each hand and couldn't figure out the best way to pull the strings back! :bigsmyl:
One bow for me! I don't throw others into the equation at all. I get acquainted with one & do my best to become a good shot with it. I took up the longbow 3 years ago & before that shot the same compound for 14 years, I'm not an experimenter!! (grin) My son has shot the same recurve for 4 years. (Brackenbury Drifter)

as i make bows all year long i shoot them in etc, etc. that seems to satisfy a little but i always feel the need for something new.
I only own 2. The first is a Bear Kodiak mag that I hunted for over 8 years with, then I bought a shrew recurve 7 years ago and have exclusively hunted with it.
Ok would my take down with 4 different sets of limbs count as one..........bowdoc
I'd have to say no because I have a martin hatfield that I use for bowfishing every year, but other than that, it's 1 bow all year. When I only owned the hatfield that was all i used. Then I bought a schafer that I used for years. Now its my GM longbow. I don't like switching bows.
Variety is the Spice of Life,
I'm feeling so much better now that I know you're all wired as bad as I am! They put people away that hear voices but I feel most of us would be in padded rooms when they hear that the bow on the wall actually speaks to us when it hasn't been shot for a while. Oh well!
I have 3 recurves but I only shoot one of them. The others are backups for the day my Impala breaks.
I shot the same 85# Swamp Rat for 10yrs. Then, frankly, I got tired of pulling the thing every damn day. It was like I was going to the gym or somthing. I got a 70# HH almost two years ago, feels like a kiddie bow in comparison. That is the only one I shoot. Consistency works for me.

I only have one as of now a Liberty English 50lbs. at my draw. It only takes one. Would love to have a backup though and would have as many as I could afford if possible.
