12, I like to buy myself a gift every year!

8 Recurves, 9 longbows....
Gave away another 5 or so recurves and one longbow to friends to get them started.

I just went and counted my bow racks.

As of today-- Eleven bows.

Some (3-4) are "go to" bows. The rest are sentimental. My parents gave me back 30 years later my very first recurve that my Dad bought for me as a kid.

Killy, I like it in closets!  :rolleyes:  I have learned to stick with bows grips as opposed to bows. If I find one that the grip is perfect for me I keep it! Shawn

I had to go count, that may not be good!!! but right now 20 trad,recurves,longbows,homemade and selfbows. One compound that I haven't shot in 18 months. Is that to many, I think not,lol.

2 of the best !

And they are both Whisperstik's

C'mon Doc! I heard your house was MADE out of old bows!!!    

I feel like I am slacking as I only own one. The one I have works great for me so why not stick with it. I like to hold, look at, and shoot others but really havent thought about buying another one.

1 Mikuta longbow

3 1960's Bear recurves

(BTW Killy, Please send me 2 of your "breeding" coat hangeers. Every time I go to put my wife's laundry away,the hangers are all gone)   :rolleyes:

Right now I have 3, but I have bought and sold 10 or so in the last several years.
I love my new Great Plains Palo Duro 50#recurve.
It's probably the smoothest bow I've ever shot
(tied with a Habu).I look forward to hunting with it.
My go to bow is a Martin Hatfield recurve.
I also own a Don Dow Stikbow which I really like but don't shoot often enough.
My first was a Bear Black Bear that I bought in 1981. It survived a fire and will never be sold. My brother shoots it now.

Five here

Nine for now hope to have more in the future.  

34  including 4 Robertson buffalo bows, 4 JD Berry bows 5 Bear recurves, 2 Wing recurves, 1 Shrew and assorted others

I had to go in the basement to check. I didn't know there were 12. It doesn't look so bad when you break it down...and, I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't take drugs, I don't gamble, I don't run around.  Case closed!

2 from the same bowyer that I shoot all the time.

2 others I shoot sometimes.

2 others I used to shoot.

1 of my old recurves from when I was 15 yrs. old

1 for my wife

1 for my son

1 for my daughter

1 to teach kids

1  for decoration only (damaged)

One longbow Ill keep because of who had it made for me (it mostly sits on the rack) and now a DAS, and hopefully a tradtech.  I bought and sold well over 30 bows in the last 6 years or so.

4, They are listed below.

2 and there listed below...but I have another Kota Kill-um on orders as of Friday.

Going to be Curly Myrtle limbs with a Cocobolo handle, but I have to wait to December.  I'm thinking about it as a Christmas present.

Then again there always seems to be a bunch of bows listed in the classifieds so I may get one of those.
