How many bows do you have? I have my bowtech, 2 traditional bows, and a browning bowfishing rig. I have the urge to get at least one more hunting bow and maybe a target bow. I know you can only shoot one at a time, but each has it's place. I am curious to hear about how other members balance their archery arsenal.

I have a 07 Drenalin and sold a 05 Switchback to my brother. Not really sure if he paid it off yet.

Plan on getting a new one next year!!!

I have,
Three compounds (soon to be four)
Two long bows (one is a collectors item)
Four recurves

My wife has,
Two compounds
Two recurves

I am looking for a new bow fishing setup as well.
I don't understand why my wife does not think we need another bow.

Elite GT-500 (my current go-to bow, I hunt and shoot 3D with it as well.)

Bear Bearkat takedown recurve (it's an old institutional bow, came from a high school or college, I bought it when I was 10 or so)

Bear Montana longbow (relatively new to me, I stink something awful with it)

I am also in possession of my buddy's Browning Folding Hunter recurve. (I've never seen another, it's pretty neat, and really easy to shoot)

If you were to look in my bowroom you'd wonder what in the he%% does he need with all those bows. Only 5 are mine the rest belong to the rest of the family, around 27 I think.

One. A Bowtech Tribute.

My Bowtech replaced a Jennings Carbon Extreme that I hunted with for over 20 years. That bow replaced a Jennings Shooting Star that I hunted with for ten years.
