1x UltraElite compound, as shown above
1x Striker recurve w. 32lb limbs

Strangely, I've never felt the urge to own more. Longbow has never been of interest to me. Ditto AFB / Mongolian horse bow / whatever. And I forsee no need to get any more bows until I get bored of these.

Hang on
Hey hang on a second lets get a grip here (excuse the pun) how many bows can one person shoot realisticlly. If your gonna get good at either recurve or compound etc then its gonna be more difficult to master a second type of bow is it not. Ok have spares arround just in case but some of the numbers you guys are quoting is crazy.

How many archers do you know that aren't crazy?! I am beginning to think I am crazy, having only one bow.....mind you I have only been shooting for just over a year. Now where's my cheque book?

Seriously I do not anticipate becoming a bow collector. I may get a second recurve bow so I can keep one set up for indoor, and one for outdoor.
