1 Hoyt FX
1 Hoyt Carbon+

Damn, but that's a small riser. I calculate you'd get a 49in bow with extra long Stylist limbs.

I now only have 1 bow, which is my compound. It is extremely nice and I like it alot. When I have loads more money, I would probably get another complete setup as a spare, which would bring me to 2. In my house however, there are 7 bows. 2 compounds, 2 recurve, 2 longbow and 1 bow that I can't describe that pulls about 50# and I used it for reversals when shooting recurve.

Oh Gosh

2 steel bows
1 one piece Border
1 wooden takedown
1 elan riser - XP 10 Evolution + 2 other sets limbs
5 compounds - sold one this month

sights, arrows? I'm not even going to count!

and this is just a snap-shot in time. Sometimes I think it would have been nice to have held onto some of the bows that have passed through my hands and other times I think of the dusting

Looking to maybe get a longbow, but not sure how it would affect my recurve shooting.

The first thing that becomes apparent, reading the comments above, is...
Don't we have some rich people here

I just have the 2 recurves. My first bow (a W & W Evolution) and my SF (which I won, courtesy of Bow International
