How many longbow or recurve you got?

Hi I'm just curious if others are affected with the same disease as me

I'm waiting for my Blacktail Sitka to come

That will be my 15th custom longbow recurve for my collection.

Anyone else have this obsession?

I've got 12 longbows and 14 recurves. None of the recurves are custom. But about half of them are lightweight for kids and friends to shoot when they come around.
The longbows are all custom. I use to buy one when I wanted but lately when I buy one, I sell something. I've sold maybe 8 -10 over the last 10 years all in weights I wasn't going to shoot anymore.

Twenty-four selfbows and four longbows, all but one built by myself. Kind of like kids I guess, hard to part with after witnessing their birth 🥴!

About a dozen ELB-stylish bows (natural wood and bamboo), five AFLB (wood & glass/carbon), one traditional recurve (wood & glass), one Hungarian horse bow (horn, wood, sinew, leather) and a couple of shorter selfbows.

I have a self-imposed limit of four or five bows.
These are the bows I hunt with. I also have the first bow my parents gave me as my 13th birthday present- a Shakespeare Wonderbow and my Dads old recurve from the 1950's or so.
