Lost count years ago, I can think of over a dozen without racking my brain to much
 
I've got my original compound that I bought about 7 years ago. Bowtech carbon overdrive. Haven't had a good reason to upgrade. Bought a stick bow this year as well. I think it is more fun to shoot than my compound.
 
I just thought about the bows I have owned, and it got me thinking....figured some others might enjoy this exercise:

Browning Fox II 1988 - 1991

Browning Bridger 1991 - 1994

PSE F2 Maxis 1995 - 2008

Bear G2 Buckmaster 2008 - 2012

Diamond Iceman 2012 – 2015

Elite Synergy 2015 - Present
My very first bow was a green fiberglass recurve kids bow with a red plastic handle. I got it whne I was about five years old. Shot those wooden arrows with the plastics vanes and crimped on tin points.

I got a bigger one after that.

then a Bear Whitetail

I was looking at some of the new PSE's to possibly make the trip back to the beginning.
