Recurve/Longbow Difference (seriously)

[myshootinstinks]

I believe Van has a good point.  Many modern LBs have somewhat large, hand-filling recurve type risers, particularly some of the three piece models. In my mind I think of these as "hybrids" and the more conventional looking one or two piece LBs,reflex-deflex or not, as LBs.
      I enjoy both LBs & 'curves. Nostalgia? Going back to my youth in the '60s, everybody shot a recurve. To me a late '50s-mid'60s style recurve comes to mind when I think of "traditional".

I recently got a V-Archery reflex bow. I love it! I cant wait to go bear hunting in Canada next spring! in the meantime I shoot all my bow some every day.

I like the aluminum risered ACS CX by A&H.. It has just the right amount of mass weight for me and the graceful limbs just smoke an arrow.
I've shot recurves for 35+ years but in the last 2 or 3 years have been taken with this style of bow. I'm sure it doesn't fit Vans idea of a longbow and a HH it isn't. But it is a wonderful hunting bow that offers me the best of both worlds!
