I started out with recurves several years ago, but picked up an R/D longbow about a year and a half back. The end of last summer, I just couldn't hit with the longbow like I could with my curves, even though the longbow is 64" vs as short as 56" with the curves. Not sure if it's the grip or what, but I put the longbow on the shelf and hunted with my curves all season. I actually put a post up on here about it and decided I must just be a recurve guy.
Now that the season is over, I got my longbow back out just to change things up a bit, and I'm stacking arrows like you wouldn't believe. Better even than the curves. So now I'm confused.
The only thing I can figure is maybe when I put my longbow up last summer, my form wasn't where it needed to be and the grip style showed the problems more than the recurves. It's a locator style grip, but isn't nearly as contoured as the all out hybrid longbows, so that could very well be it. I shot almost everyday from late last summer all the way through the season, so my form is much better now.
Anybody else ever had anything similar happen?
