I just recently started shooting woodies out of my longbow and have to say that I like everything about it. I like making them, I like the beauty of the finished arrow, I like the "sound" they make as they leave the bow, I like the good flight once everything is tweaked and tuned properly. While talking with a shooting buddy of mine over the weekend, he mentioned that recurves "don't like" wood as much as longbows do. Anyone here care to comment on that? Does wood not shoot as well out of recurves for some reason, or do you generally just need to increase spine due to the center/cut past center situation?
