I was just wondering how many of you guys just shoot and hunt with one bow.  I normally swap back and forth shoot this shoot that.  Well lately I've just been shooting my monarch longbow (I sold everything else as of now) and man my shooting went up big time and this is the bow I normally shot the worst.  Anyway I think there might be something to sticking with one bow, anyone else have the same results.

Just one, Widow 64" PLX 42# @ 28.

I've found a longbow that I really shoot well (I've always considered myself a recurve guy and shot longbows just for kicks) and decided that this bow is the only one I'm shooting from now on. I got a deer with it and now going to see how good I do in the 3D shoots.

Waiting for my "one bow". Super Shrew!!!!

I hunt with just one bow....a horsebow i made from  a "U-Finish" bow.

I found that i takes a awhile to get accurrate....so i just stick with the one for now.

I pick only one bow to hunt with each year. I build wood bows so I usually have plenty to choose from but once I make up my mind, that's the one I hunt with. I do usually have a back up in the wings just in case.   Pat

One for me DAS kenetic recurve several sets of limbs!

Yep, you're probably right.  The problem is which one to keep.

Starkman I hear you lol

"Beware the man with one gun (or bow in this case)..."

I have been shooting bows for most of the last thirty years, and I've only ever owned two bows (and I still own them both - one compound, and one recurve).

I really admire you guys.  I'm down to one bow Toelke whip, and I truly love it, but I'm gonna order another.  A sister bow to this one, so to speak.  I want a backup bow in same weight, length, etc...but with different woods.  Don't know how to decide which to shoot.  BTW, my wife must never see this thread.  Anytime I tell her I need a bow I gotta tell her that's just how trad archery is, and a man needs a backup for security purposes.

Just one here..."Dorothy", is a 1999 model Black Widow, MAII, 64" 53#@30"

I used to and was hoping this Thunderstick III would be my go to bow, have two backups coming.....need help tuning the stinking thing!!!

I own a few bows but only shoot one.
At the moment it's my longbow,I shoot it every day,shoot field 3/D every Sunday and hunt big an small game year round.For me it takes about a year before I'm totaly satisfied with a bow.
I have a DAS Hunter arriving at the end of the month and it's going to be very hard to hang up the longbow as I've been shooting it three years now and it's like an extension of myself to shoot.When I say satisfied I mean I can call my shots before the arrow is in the air,and I'm genuinely supprised if I miss.
I can't do that changing bows,I just become average with them all doing that.
An that's not good enough,so one bow it is.

No sense buying a 2nd bow when the one I own shoots so well.  My Rocky Mtn Recurve has served me well for many years and is still going strong.  Couldn't imagine being without it.

I also own a couple of bows but shoot just one of them regularly. I don't have the time nor the talent to switch between bows and maintain any level of accuracy. It's hard enough for me with just one...

Yep, just one bow.  64" Black Widow PMA II, 49 @32.

I've got a few bows & play with them all a bit from time to time, but only seriously shoot & hunt one. That is the one I practice & stump shoot with.

I was thinking of that exact fact for a week or 2 now. I have sold off a few bows and am down to 1 longbow ( 2 when i pick up my other one that was in for some minor rework) now.
I have shot nothing but it for the last month. My shooting has gone way up.
i do have a Chekmate Thunderbird on order that is a short 58", for turkey hunting and busting brush for bunnies.
But I just asked my bowyer Jim at Mississippi Lake Longbow to do what most bowyers would say is almost impossible- I want him to try to duplicate my go-to bow "Harmony"; or at least get it as close as he can.
Same woods, length, weight, lams and tapers, everything as close as he can.
This bow will be shot now and then , then hung in wait if ( God forbid) something ever happened to Harmony.
I shold have done this in the 1st place... Live and learn eh?

Like said before,I pick one for the year and stay with it,but ya gotta have a backup,just in case!!
