I give up!!!!
« on: March 17, 2011, 01:16:00 PM »
I have been trying to shoot a recurve off and on for over a year now and just can't shoot it as good as a RD long bow.  Got frustrated and pulled out my lee stick and put three in a tea cup @15 and busted a nock, on my first string of three.  Guess I will have to stick with the stick.

Sounds like you've come to terms with the trad gods, you're a skilled guy to shoot a longbow so well. . I WISH I could shoot a longbow, but I'm a curve guy.

If it ain't broke don't fix it! It's good to try new things and break new ground...but it's great to come back to what works for you. Sounds like you have a perfect match. Don't get weak in a careless moment and ever sell that bow, you will regret it. Try and buy new bows recurves or longbows, there may be other good matches out there, but always keep this bow that you shoot so well. You will always have a friend in it. I sold a favorite bow once and I have always regretted it.

I have the Howard Hill belief that i'm just not a good enough shot to use a recurve. Love my longbows!

Hey tradshooter, can i quote your post when my wife starts eyeing up my bow rack and wondering why it has no spaces in it...?   :D

Most of it is in how you hold the bow for each type of handle..
