Thanks for all the replies...I did some experimenting here in the backyard and found the longbow was more forgiving. I purposely torqued upon release, snap shot a few arrows and I was still in the "vitals" with the longbow. The recurve was more critical with torquing but snap shooting I didn't see that much of a difference.

I have been told I shoot very fast. I know I do but I don't feel like I snap shoot. I reach full draw but then she's gone. Okay maybe that is snap shooting but snap shooting to me sounds like your just going to fling it and hope. I have shot both bows this way and don't see a big difference.  :dunno:

I agree with JamesV, I can shoot bad with any bow.

Byron Ferguson claims the longbow is more forgiving. For me personally i think the longbow is more forgiving.
