I Feel your pain. A very good reason to invest in more then 1 bow.... (at least the wife believes that!)

Yep, same excuse here to have a variety of bows, need back ups for the back up, lol

All the more reason you should never limit yourself to just one bow.

One bow hum mm. It seems to me a dozen arrows a dozen bows just kind of makes sense.

   

Did a cowboy limit himself to one gun?
Not the good ones.
There's your answer.

One must always have a back up for the back up to the back up X about 2 more back up bows  

Just explore the posts covering what people have hanging on the walls of their living rooms. That should tell you something

Lucky be you who have understanding wives and girl friends...
Those who don't well it takes skill...

lol, im working on my collection

Every guy or gal should at least 3 IMHO lol

Every trad shooter knows , you need just one more bow .
As far as your comment about it being addictive , I can quit any time I want .
I just don't want to .

You don't have to start collecting, but it's nice to have two bows that you really like, especially if something like what happened to you happens.

As you can see, the two bows in my signature are very different from one another, I shoot one high-wrist and the other low, but I really enjoy them both.

The delamination has to be tramatic.

When I came back to shooting six years ago, I bought a '59 K Special off one of our members. It had some minor stress. My wife ask what I was going to do when that bow breaks (blows up)? After thinking about it, I bought a '60 K Special with the same draw weight and length and now it's my favorite.

Later, I bought a '61 Kodiak from another member and then a '62 for its backup. Like having backups and a few others now.  Bet those old Bears outlast me.

You always have to be prepared for the possibility of a delamination by having a suitable back up. However, there are a few rules to keep in mind. For example if you buy bow A, then you will need bow B for a backup. Pretty simple, right? Now when you buy bow C, it will also need a backup. Bow B that you bought as A's backup is just not suitable to also be backup for bow C. Rather, you need a separate bow for its backup. (Wives sometimes fail to recognize the total sense in this requirement, so I don't always tell mine about the new bow or its backup, either.) This is the best system around to have a collection of nice bows with each one being backed up by another nice bow. Follow this simple plan, and you will always be ready.
