I started shooting compounds in 1973 and shot a lot of competition through 1979, then took time off for the family till 1989. Started again and have kept up with 3D and hunting. During that time I've had 27 bows. 18 of them in the last 15 years. In fact, I just unboxed and set up my new Martin FireCat, #27,this afternoon.

RE: how many bows have you owned?
I've had a handful of bows, now that I think of it...I started out with a Bear Whitetail II, then had another Bear Blacktail (I think, can't remember for sure on this one), traded it off for an OLD Pearson that I NEVER did figure out how to shoot, then traded it on a Browning X-Cellerator Plus, moved on to a Reflex Bighorn Hunter around the "turn of the millenium," then a my Reflex Highlander followed in spring 2006, after that I bought my Trykon XL this past fall, and then lurking on classifieds, I ended up picking up an old Hoyt Stryker as a bow I intend on teaching my cousin how to shoot. But it may end up being a "spot's" bow if I ever find time to shoot someplace other than my backyard.
I still have 3 OLDER recurves, one I believe is a "Mustang" but not sure who made it, one is a no-name 40# recurve, again maker unknown, the last is a Montgomery-Ward recurve that draws 55# at 28", and it is a pretty decent shooter.
