Just wanted to ask how many have a backup bow? I used to have one but never used it and got rid of it.
I’m thinking about getting one.

I mostly hunt out of state so I carry 2 in my double bow case. primary bow this year lift 29.5 back up is a v3 31.
I had to use my back up once on an elk hunt in Colorado bout 10 yrs ago and wound up killing a 5x5 bull with it. glad I had a back up then.

An old used bow ain't worth much so I just keep it as a back up. Course I only get a new one bout every 10 years or longer. Well, yeah I guess so since my "new" one is a 2016 and my backup is a 2004. Both spit an arrow out just fine to kill a deer.

Yep! My main bow is a Hoyt Katera. And my backup bow is an older Hoyt Katera.


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

If there's a lefty on here that wants a backup, I've got one that would be better than most peoples primary bow.

Welll. I have 2 primes, a bow tech, and a new breed all ready to go. The problem with the bow market-and why I have 4 fully rigged bows- is the used bow market sucks. So eventually I'll give away a bow if I buy a new one. But I generally shoot the new one for 3-4 years and by that time my bow isn't worth selling.

I have a Mathews Reezen and donated my old bow to the foundry. But I have problems with the bearings on my Reezen and may not get it back and tuned in before season. I have an eye out for a backup.
Saw some good bows for sale but I kinda like the idea of my backup bow being a Reezen also. But used Reezen sell a little to high.

I have it in a shop now. But they haven’t had time to fix it yet. Kinda don’t want to move it to another shop. I appreciate the offer. I’m going to get a press start doing some small work myself.
Where is your shop at?

I haven’t got my bow back yet. I haven’t got a back up yet either. I did get a crossbow and I may try to hunt with it. But I’m trying to get used to shooting it. Here is a couple of pics of it grouping at 55 yards.
