How many guys out there own and hunt with multiple makes of bows?  Or maybe you have many bows by the same bowyer?  I have owned tons of bows but currently only own 2 (although I am on the list for another one).  My favorite bows so far are a Habu by Chris Cox, and a Dakota by Rick Welch.  I have been hunting with the Dakota the last 2.5 seasons.  I have found that I shoot better when I stick with just one or 2 bows.  What about you guys?

I shoot one, but own six or seven. Mostly older curves my Dad owned. I only hunt with my LB though...

I shoot longbows and recurves and now and then a compound, but I prefer longbows. Longbows a just so light in the hand and a joy to carry. If I'm hunting from a stand a recurve is ok also.

I only shoot one...at a time   :rolleyes:  .

I usually stick with one of my Kanati's during season, but I shoot them all in the off season. The Kanati's are the best I have found thus far.

I'm trying to become a one-bow man ... still have to shed a couple, though. Right now, my favorite maker and bow is JD Lund and his Whisperstik.

Looks like 13 on the bow rack right now. Just hunting with 2 this season depending upon manuerability in hunting location.

I'm trying to get down to four or five.  Any given season, I'll hunt with three or four different bows.  I use lighter bows for deer and small game and heavier bows for bigger critters.  And, of course, I have a junker for carp shooting. I've hunted with one bow in the morning and a different bow in the afternoon.  They're mostly longbows, and most are in the same weight range, handle the same arrows and shoot similarly.  Never had a problem with switching back and forth.  Lately, however, I've noticed that I've been picking up my ACS most of the time.

Try to stay with one per season.

I've got 5 bows from different bowyers.2 from Habu and 3 from Zipper,Wes Wallace,Pronghorn,oh yah and a Fredrick.I almost shoot the Habu's exclusively.Guess I need to sell the others.

Although I own a few I hunted with one curve this season. Now that season is almost over the others will come out to play.Can't see just one bow-almost heresy.

I have four. 2 Pronghorn longbows 1 Pronghorn recurve and one palmer recurve. I only shoot my pronghorn recurve though.

I own several bows of 7 different bowyers, but I would like to have the total bow production if it were possible. But I hunt with just a couple of bows, always the same. I don't have anyway big problems to switch from a bow to another

I hunt with several bows througout the season. Took a doe with a Black Widow recurve and a buck
with a Treadway longbow this year. Some bows have better "mojo" than others.

I have about 50 bows - not counting the little fiberglass kid bows (that would be 20 more)

I do a lot of archery support for Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Church camps so they come in handy with my collection of several thousand arrows and a box full of safety gear.  Been collecting all this for over 40 years.  Have not picked up much in the last 2 years since traditional bows have become much more scarce and the prices on used bows have gone out of sight.  I would guess my collection is now worth a WHOLE lot more than I originally paid.

As for myself, I have about 6 favorites that I try to keep current with.

Two for now

I have three custom bows with a forth coming VERY shortly. However, when I am seriously going hunting I always grab my Zipper Extreme.

I own Two but only shoot and hunt with my longbow, everytime I get the hankering to buy another bow I just go shoot my monarch, it's part of me and I it!!A match made in heaven!!

No comment.    :p

I own several but generally only hunt with the one that I have the most confidence in on game
(a Martin Hatfield 50#).

I shoot a Great Plains Palo Duro recurve at the range and plan on hog hunting with it this winter.

I tried shooting to longbows at once, both where 60lb I wasn't strong enough,     so I just shoot one now
