Classifieds. Recurves/Longbows
« on: August 22, 2011, 08:33:00 PM »
It seems to me that in the last year or two longbows have far out numbered recurves for sale in the classifieds.
 I can remember when it was the other way around and it wasn't that long ago.
 Anyone have any idea why this would be?
 Or is it just my imagination?

Recurve shooters have more sense so they hang onto their good buys.

A lot of folks want try a longbow and then decide it's not for them. Which makes for some real good deals for anyone looking for a longbow.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Longbows have become more popular particularly the hybrids. There are just a lot more out there now.
