Who owns/shoots one bow?

[mike g]

I currently have one Bow, My HH Big 5 68" 49@29.
   Maybe in around 6 months I may get another Hill.

[Fattony77]

I have one longbow, one recurve, and soon will have only one hybrid. But then I'll be working on having one take-down....  

I own several bows, but I only practice and hunt with one, my Sarrels Blueridge long riser longbow. I have a recurve and a primitive bow that I take out for another round at a 3D shoot, but I don't practice or hunt with them.

I was down to one bow; now I have 2 curves and 2 longbows. I am tired of selling bows. Plan on keeping my small "family" intact.

[T-Bowhunter]

I have one Bow, Big Jim Thunder Child 56" 50@28.

[Keith Langford]

Yep, one Dakota Pro Hunter Recurve with 2 sets of limbs, but I do have another one on order with a light set of limbs for 3d, the risers will be identical.

[Stalker58]

I have 1 Bow, by PAW, a McKean, 58", 57#@28".

[BUCKY]

Wow! I'm surprised at this. It seems all you ever see is people with a dozen bows. I felt like I was the only one with 2 bows.

-Beware of the man with one bow, he probably knows how to use it.

One bow.  I like it and it seems to like me.

[reddogge]

What happens when that one bow breaks, or gets stolen, or gets run over by a car? Everyone should have a back up.

[cacciatore]

Last week I had my 20 years old recurve exploding on me,no serious damages to me but very sad day since I had a lot of memories and games taken with it.
I am glad that I have a back up,maybe more than 100 actually

If I had the need I would only own one bow but I see no need so I have a dozen or so. I enjoy recreational shooting although not nearly as much as hunting, and for this I choose whatever jumps off of the rack at me. Usually stick to 1 or 3 for hunting during a season.

[Rustic]

I have 3 bows but only shoot my 45# Grizzly.

[mcgroundstalker]

Someone said "One wife, many bows..." I agree with that. But, starting now and through the deer season, it will be (shoot only one) for me.       ...

I have one longbow that shoot my Alaskan tapered graphites and Microflite arrows perfectly, one that shoots my 50 pound tapered cedar with 145 Grizzlies, one that shoots 60 pound Acme cedars with El Grande Grizzlies, one that shoot 1918s with 200 grains up front and one that shoots 1918s with 175 up front, one that shoots both the 1918s and my 55 Surewoods, and one that prefers 1818s with 145 up front. And that is just bows that I have sharpened broadhead arrows for. What the heck am I doing with all of this stuff? My bedroom looks like an archery shop and the rest of it is down stairs. I am determined to shoot and hunt with my lefty Morningstar and one right hand bow with just one set of arrows for each. However, that choice for which right hander is not coming easy. One would think that this picking and choosing is fun, but after a while it is not.

[Trumpkin the Dwarf]

I am a one bow guy, but not by choice. I love my Toelke, and will never sell it, unless there is nothing else left. Bows are expensive!

But I really want one of Kirk's bows, and I really want another Toelke, and I really want a Shrew, and I really want a...

well, you get the picture.

[Cavscout9753]

I keep my red stag as a back up bow only. Since finding long bows my Stik is my go-to bow. I figure that every chance I get to shoot I should use that time to perfect my one set up. Besides, I can't afford too many bows at once. And if I had several I would never be able to settle on one, haha. One day I'll have a bow for each occasion, but for now there's much work to be done to perfect my game with what I have. In my case any extra money can go to the never ending list of accessories - arrows, tips, arrow building supplies, hunting equipment, etc.

[Thumper Dunker]

I'm going to try and only use two this year. My hickory stick and a short recurve . But the other bows are starting to whine.

[nineworlds9]

My #1 lady right now is the 2014 St.Jude's Java Man Elkheart Gregg built for me this year.  It is everything I could want in a bow.  Perfect wood combo, 2pc, perfect middle weight at 52@29, shoots like a dream.  I will never sell this bow.  Its the first bow where I truly believe that.  

As it stands she is currently accompanied by 5 mistresses.  2 of which are also more or less permanent, and of similar specs to the Elkheart.. the other 3 are on an 'at will' basis, that is until I get the will to sell them and try the next thing.  

Ain't life grand

I'm trying to cut down.  I swear.  At 6 I'm doing a lot better than in previous years.  It took me a good two years to figure out what I like in a bow and a bowyer.  LOL

[Danny Rowan]

I own, mainly, one brand of bow, Schafer Silvertip, does that count, LOL. Yes, some cannot afford more than one or two,and that is fine. Me, I can afford it and there is no reason for me to own just one, I shoot each the same and can pick up any of them and be in the woods ready to go, same arrows for all of them. Only other I have right now is a custom Huntsman, and it shoots the same arrow as my other bows. Life is too short to own only one bow.

In my lifetime I have owned over 300 of most of the top of the line custom bows out there.
