I agree with you there Dick..Must be the reason why they are quieter than any recurve I've built.

I like them all and build them all. My go to is a mild R/D 62-64" but.. here's the two I finished this week.

Started out liking recurves the best. Guess I'm a selfbow guy now. I especially like shooting the shoot off your hand Indian-style bows.

I started shooting with a Bear recurve as a kid.  I have glass recurves, glass longbows and glass hybrids.  I find that I am most comfortable shooting glass hybrids overall.  But I am making some pretty nice shooting all-wood Hill style bows as of late.  I'm just not sure of how they will be long-term yet.

I love all types of Bows. Especially recurves and laminated wooden bows.

I like Hybrid Longbows and recurves, would love to try a horse bow if I had more pasture room.

I like the traditional bows that kill stuff. But, if I had to choose one, a recurve is hard to beat.

I really like the Hybrid R/D longbow designs, selfbows or custom jobs doesn't matter, but I also really like my short Indian style shoot off the top knuckle flatbow I just made. It's really lots of fun to shoot, and I kinda surprized myself with that one. It's one of the coolest feelings to build something yourself that actually shoots accurately, and is a real joy to shoot. It will feel even sweeter when I finally take an animal with one of my own hand made bows.
Maybe this fall?

Those Holmegaards are the thing.  I don't have one yet, but they look and shoot great. I may try to make on from all this new elm I have.
But you just can't go wrong with traditional. Any stick and a string will give me hours of fun.
