How many have two bows. One for every day shooting, leagues, small game. The other one for Big Game hunting. If so, what are the poundage differances?

Two? Seven'd be nearer the mark   :D  

38# Win & Win recurve
45# Martin Rebel
50# Shakespeare Super Necedah
57# Navajo TD
58# Pronghorn TD
72# Pronghorn
132# English Warbow.

I have about a dozen or more bows. I have bows in the 50-60lb range for deer and big game but when my shoulder bothers me or it gets real cold I switch to one of my 45lb bows. I also have a few 45lb bows for bowfishing and some 40-45lb bows for small game!

I am relatively new to Taditional archery and have two, 55 and 71.

I am have been fly fishing for years and have 10 or more fly rods but find I use only one or two.

For those of you with mutiple bows do you find the same thing?  How often do you shoot your bows other than your favorite?

I HAVE TWO BOWS!...I Have Two Bows!...Do I Win?... ...Thought not... :( ...Anyway...

I'm luckey enough to own two BW TFVs...48# and 51# @ 26"...Use the 51# for 3D, stump shooting, big and small game, the 48# is a back up bow...(that keeps me from buy'in another bow I don't need)... :rolleyes: ...

There is no such thing as another bow I don't need, EVERYBODY needs another bow and another bow etc etc.....   Alan

Well...There was a time when I had five bows...Sold three to new trad shooters and made them very happy...Myself...Don't think I need to own more than two...That dosen't mean I don't DREAM of owning two dozen... :D ...Been down that road with firearms...Not gonna repeat it...

BUT...I have over 100 2016's ready to go and over 4 dozen carbon arrows just waiting to be shot!... ...Does that count for something?

PS...Beware The Tight Wad Who Owns One Bow!... ...

Let's see, there are thirty in the living room...
lemme get the dog, I need more toes. Actually, in theory I try to shoot all summer what I intend to hunt with in the fall. What actually happens, though, is that I run across something real special at a shoot, buy it, and agonize over my blown shooting for the rest of the year.    

Killdeer~Shoots are like a box of chocolates...

I do paper target shooting so I have a 40# Lord Mercury made by Ben Pearson  and for Hunting and 3-D shoots i have a 50# Black Panther by Bear

I tend to build two or more bows for myself each year.  One in the 46-48# range that I use for 3D and general knocking around including spring and summer hunting.  Then a 55#+ bow for hunting elk, moose, other BIG critters etc in the fall.  I tend to switch back to the lighter bow for whitetails when I return to Texas.  This years bows are horn bellied BushWackers.

I allways had two bows "need" one for a back up.LOL.Over the years I kept two recurves then a recurve and a hybrid  and up until recently it's two hybrids.. They are  a Chaparral kaibab 60"s 55#s at 27" draw and my new hornes brushbow 58"s 54"s at 28"s so at my draw 27"s she's 51lbs.Just received the Hornes Sat if you want to seepicks check my thread.I have a Shrew Chameleon on order 53"s at 28"s that will be a 58" long bow also. .However, I won't receive it until next October.
