I have 2 bows that I use for hunting
a Zipper sxt 48# 58" and a Assenheimer
48# 60"

I stuck with one for deer this year. Then when I started hog hunting in December I switched around and killed hogs with 4 different bows and 3 types of broadheads.

Usually my Shrew CH #47..... But if I need a big mojo change I've switched to another Shrew CH without hesitation.

With the exception of turkey season I use the same bow for all big game in any given year. In turkey season I use a lighter shorter bow, what ever bow that might be that year. I like to get them all off the rack and out shooting every year just that some may not get to go hunting that year.

I grab what I want and unfortunately I always grab the wrong one-ha!

Two, one little shorty for the blind and my long bow for the rest of the time.

Four months before deer season I choose one bow and that's all I shoot until the season closes; and I try to shoot every day.

I'll also have a back-up that shoots close.

Firstlight

Only one bow.

And I expect to make that decision soon as it seems I may be on a Spring black bear hunt so I want to be well practiced.

2013 - Damon Howatt Ventura.  

2014 - Think of trying a Martin Hunter or PSE Sierra Hunter Take Down this season.

I use one for the whole season then switch to the other one for the next season. I rotate between these 2 robertsons that are identical each year.

Hoyt

I use two. The 62" recurve in early and mid season and 64" recurve when the weather gets cold. Both same poundage.

One bow at a time, though this year I may have two bows to choose from.

Just one   Maybe one day when the temps are back in the positives, and we have a couple less feet of snow, I'll get out and shoot it.
Silvertip 60"  54#
64 Kodiak 60"  50#

I typically hunt with one bow all year.  

This year (my 5th back to curves) I will likely hunt with three different bows; Turkey, Deer (1-piece curve), and Moose (TD Curve).

I look at bows (and arrows and broadheads) as tools. While I can make 1 work all season, I have a tendency to select for conditions - i.e. a short bow in a blind, lighter draw weight in the late season cold, etc.

Generally, only one, but every once in a while, I change from 1 Hill bow to another.

I am strictly a one bow man.  There is no need or desire to have more than one longbow with one set of arrows for me as it can hunt anything that I hunt well and is excellent for practice.

I do occasionally buy two pieces hoping I'll find one that shoots as well as my one piece, but in several years I've yet to find one.  If/when I do, I'll sell off my one piece.

I take them all out, depending on circumstances, intended game, and if I'm honest about it, my mood.
