Would you have an nearly identical set up as a backup?

Would you have a nearly identical set-up (sight, rest, bow, stabilizer) as your back-up and/or different arrow set-up?

Or would you just go completely different? Only ask cause I can get a nearly identical set up to my bow for a very good price and been toying around with the idea of another bow to have.

I have two bows, Hoyt Axius and Alpha X2. Set up on each is similar but one arrow is~520 and the other will be ~450. If I'm 12+ hours from home and do something to my bow atkeast I'm have another to use immediately.

I have an old Hoyt alphatec bow 70# 30" draw, can pick it up and hit what I am aiming at. I had to use it one year when shooting at a turkey my mathews cam struck my deer stand cable, bummer.

The next was and '89 V6 with winch and roll bar ala Marty McFly. We keep an eye out for anything like those, but golly did they jump up in price since 2000 when I had mine.

I bought my '89 SR5 xtracab V6 manual 36 years ago. I was offered $10k for it a few times in the last several years. I only paid $15k for it new. It started running like crap a few months ago and I wasn't sure what was going on but it was undriveable. Then I noticed the tach not moving at all when I revved it up, and the charging gauge was sitting around 10 volts. Put a new alternator in it a couple weeks ago, and it's running smooth again. That alternator was 26 years old. Love this truck.

My parents "gave" it to an uncle to use as their lake get around truck at their little private community in the mountains. I've tried to buy it from them a few times and tell them how much better a golf cart would be, but haven't been able to get that door cracked open.

I want to know how many guys have had a bow fail on them in the woods to the point that their hunt would be over if they didn't have a backup?

For me that has never happened, but maybe I just don't hunt hard enough. I did cut halfway through a string once with a broadhead one year but still killed a bull with it.

Same guys that drop their rifles all day.
