How did you decide recurve or longbow

Ha, my only problem is that the things that choose me, end up to be absolute highest price, top of the line ;-)

Ron what model is the straight bow in the picture? That one looks mighty interesting!

Got into this because of watching videos-wensel and too short actually-I was shootin wheelie bow and just thought that those recurves would be much better suited to hunting situations than a wheelie like I was currently shootin. I was right-bought a tip just like wensel's-now I just got my second one in. Been huntin with em ever since.

I like both-I hunt with a curve, I just like recurves?? I like shooting longbows too and have been looking at the GN flatbow? think it is called the bushbow? but not now-gotta get a canoe first.

P.S.

Went into a local pro shop the other day and saw the amount of "stuff" on the wall for wheelies and it is strange.

I just bought my first canoe this spring. I can't wait until I can hunt from it someday. Something about paddling a canoe and shooting a longbow just go together. I saw some pic's on here of Ron La Clair in his canoe, loaded with deer, that were just great. Gets the blood pumping for sure.

I have to say growing up in MI and having Bear bows made here and for sale at every store made it a very tough choice.    :rolleyes:

I chose a long bow from reading HH's opinions about bows, so, all I have are a couple Hill longbows. Shot a shrew recurve and liked it well enough though  and will end up with a shorter bow like that soon enough...
