ive only use one bow its a woodland riverbend longbow made by rick ingreham. ive had this bow for about 25 years 62#at 27inches.its all bamboo with cocobola handel. my friends call it the broom stick. ive taken deer squireels a rabbit and this year a turkey. just never saved the funds to get another. well thats not quite true. i had the money this year but gave it to my daughter for her summer study abroad in england oh well. i use this bow for everything but not as a broom

i have quite a few bows,but i shoot all of them on a regular basis.variety is the spice of life,steve

Rice&Bows

I'm a one bow guy. I have a pronghorn longbow T/D with ceramic foam core limbs with black glass. 60" 55# @28. Why only one? I don't think I need another one, but I'm thinking in getting a recurve when I have the money. Raul.

I have 3 bows but since getting my xcellerator I think it will be just one in the future. Been shooting it exclusively since it arrived.   :archer:

I have a Bear T/D with 2 sets of limbs I shoot for eveything.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

I shoot a 67# Robertson 66" longbow for 3D and all kinds of hunting.  I have another in 53# that I have used some this past summer for 3d and I took it hunting a few times late last season.  I just really click with my 67#er and that is what I want to hunt with.

It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

saltwatertom

Yes, just one. Daala, 55@28, 62 inch. I will consider a 2 pc long bow if the right one comes along, just to simplify things. Big Jim's and A&H are on the list right now. I am happy with what I have tho.  :archer2:

Encino Man

I'm a one bow kind of guy. I shoot everything with it. (A longbow that is). It makes me a much better shooter and I save a lot of money not having to outfit serveral bows with arrows and such.

I do have a re-curve for backup and for shooting two stage turnaments.

Not that I wouldn't mind having 4 or 5 more bows around to share and promote Trad Archery.

Just the HH Halfbreed for me.  What else would I need?  :-D


Bowwild

I can't imagine such a thing.

Buckeye Trad Hunter

I only use one bow.... per year.  I pick one off the rack and that's my bow for the year.  When I first got started in trad archery I wondered why my uncle that got me started needed so many bows.  'Cause after all you can only shoot one at a time right?  Now I own more bows than he does.

Covey

I have Silvertip recurve that I've had for almost a year now and I vowed when I got it I was gonna stick with one bow and learn every nook and crany of it. So far me and that bow have got along real good. I can pick it up and don't have to think where everything needs to go, it just feels natural. As soon as I shed some blood with it we will be complete!! Jason

Bowwild

Jason,
I have a silvertip coming in April. I'm hoping it will give me a similar change in philisophy! I'm not a collector but I am hunting as hard for the bow perfect for me as I am deer this year!

buckeye_hunter

I have one bow. If I feel there is an issue with it I will sell it and get another. I feel you have to be as good with the bow as is possible.

Thant being said.... I still have some work to do!

Kip l Hoffman

I own 42 traditional bows.  I only shoot one now.  but it was a long time coming to THE one.  talk about being a part of you.  yes it is.  what ever i finally decided to shoot at has expired shortly there after.

Mike Bolin

I have two, but they are from the same manufacturer. I have a 58" Timberhawk Talon Monarch that is 52.5# at my draw that I like so well I bought another. Timberhawk Talon Hunter, 58" long and 54# at my draw. Sent my Monarch to the bowyer and he matched up the limbs to the riser so that everything is interchangeable and matches up perfectly. He also matched the grips/risers so close that I tell them apart without looking. Shooting the Timberhawk(s) exclusively for over a year now and I see no reason for a change. Mike

boog21

I have only one bow - Bob Lee Signature TD (62", 60# @ 28").

Why?  I figure I'll shoot more accurately if I shoot the same one all the time.

limbolt

Know I should get down to one bow and a back up,but don't know which one I want to back up or what I want to back it up with.
Just set up my first ILF today,so here we go again,off to the races.LOL.  :knothead:

Rob DiStefano

it's always best to just shoot one stickbow exclusively.

however, i think it pays big dividends to have at least one tried 'n' true back up stickbow.  it's a jungle out there, and ya never know ....
