Are static tipped recurves harder to shoot well than regular recurves?

Thanks, Skychief.

I don't find them harder to shoot... but slightly trickier when stringing!

Once strung, I find them quite gentle.

Nope.

Just need extra care when stringing. But, not a big deal. Mostly, be careful unstringing. They tend to want to twist out during the let down.

I almost think that they are easier to shoot. Smooth and quick. I like them!
