Longbows of today

[Schultzy]

I've got an argument to settle here. Are the longbows of today mostly center shot or not?

[Fletcher]

There are probably more cut to center than there used to be, but still many of them cut out from center, too.  Most all Hill style and moderate D/R are cut 1/8 inch or so out, while the newer "hybrid" types with more exaggerated D/R are generally cut to center.  You're both right.

Yeah, what Fletcher said.  My Great Northerns, Robertson's and Hills, for example are cut 1/8 from center.  My A&H ACS, on the other hand is cut a good 1/8 inch past center.
