A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Well I currently have a Matrix 380 / Axe / Vortex / Y-25 / and an XT on the way. 5 should do it! :lol: :lol:
I'm actually going to surprise my other neighbor with a gift. He cannot draw his bow now for about 5 years, and has just gun hunted public land. He is retired on a fixed income, so I have one he would like, but is too proud to take. I have offered him to use one for years, but he's too old school to borrow something like that. I figured if I give it to him, he'll come out with us again. :eusa-shhh: That will put me at 4 again, a nice number I think. :eusa-think:

As long as you shoot all of them once in a while,it's all good, don't neglect them.
People who collect the older long limb bows seem 🙄 to know something more about the functioning and beauty and dependability of a quality no nonsense product left behind for a shorter limbed brick looking product that lost a certain percentage of its reliability in the downturn in evolution.
Seriously if you have hobbies and your bills are paid and it's legal and makes you happy there's nothing wrong with collecting stuff even excalibur micro bows.
My hunting fishing and motorcycles have kept me happy married and too broke for bars and addictions so it seems to work for me you will never see a motorcycle boat or a hunting vehicle parked at a schiacatrists office.

…..absolutely not, in my book!….do you shoot them all?…or do they just take space somewhere at the expense of another bow?……I find I roll arrows for EACH bow so it starts getting a little confusing….

…..it’s not a question of worth it….it’s a question of want versus need….if you understand that and as LBJ says the bills are paid, and you can afford it….so be it….

…..as for me and my house we will …..downsize and become more minimalistic!

YES!!! This is the truest statement I have ever heard!!! Just ask Google!!! :eusa-liar: :lol: :lol:

Too many crossbows??? Is there such a thing as too many? :eusa-naughty: I think not!!! :lol: :lol:


One crossbow is like having one gun, or one fishing rod. Just kinda don't make sense.....
And as LBJ said...if you can afford it...why not?
Everyone collects something.

….I have one rifle -Remington LH Bolt action 30.06,

….I have one ML- Thompson Encore 209x50,

….I have one over and under 12ga Berreta Silver Pigeon,

….I have one other SG a 12g Browning BPS pump…..

The only reason for 2 SG is because when I first started I wasn’t sure if I was cross eyed dominant….instead I found out I was just Italian! :eusa-doh: :mrgreen:

Honestly, I never ever felt that I needed more

Now when it comes to pistols….I have two of each caliber, except for only one .22….

Again, I do not feel the need for anymore!
