Advantages of the long bow?

[Bill Turner]

I prefer the LB over the recurve as well. The over all weight and appearance of the LB appeals to me. I also find that I can get on target with the LB a little faster then I can with my recurves. I also like how quiet my LB shoots. I recently went from a R/D LB design to the D- shaped design. I'm sold on the D shaped longbows. My next LB purchase will be a Howard Hill "RedMan" or "Cheeta" for this reason. My Hill "Wild Boar" needs a companion.

I saw a video of Tred Barta talking with Dale Karch from three rivers archery. They expalaned that longbows require more precise form, better tuned arrows, and more practice.

I don't agree with any of those points.
