Saw this question on a rifle/gun page. Got me to thinking, how many elk do people typically with the same bow? Leaving it to elk only no other game... So I will start:

I have a Mathews Switchback and have taken 10 bulls with it.

What about you?

I'm on 12. Hopefully 13 &14 this year. Used Conquest 2 still going strong.

I’m 1 for 1. I love my current bow so it might kill a few more!

I get a new bow every 5 years

2000-2007 The bow (PSE Stingray) killed 2 bulls and 5 cows

2008-2012 The bow (Mathews Drenalin) killed 1 bull and 4 cows

2013-2017 The bow (Elite Answer) killed 8. 3 bulls and 5 cows

This bow (Bowtech REALM) only has the 2018 season under it and it has killed 1 bull

I get a new bow every year, both a Prime and a stickbow. The stickbow I used last year accounted for one bull, two mule deer. But limbs have already been replaced on it for my Arizona hunt.

I go back and forth with my Wheels Diamond bow and my Old School Recurve.

Bull or cow with either most every year in one state or another to combine the 'harvest score'.

Good luck, Robb

0... New bow as of November 2018. This will be it’s first year, Bowtech Realm. Fingers crossed there will be blood.

Prior to that had a Bear Mauler since 2012. Was a good bow. Took 4 elk with it.

From: Treeline

LOL, no I just leaned my bow up against that rub tree to show how big it was! My Osage bow kind of blended in with the kindling! That bull definitely tore the heck out of that tree!

Killed them with 9 different bows, I think. Only 4 elk and a red stag with the current 53# Kelley recurve. This year will probably be with bow #10.
