It really is a longbow. It meets all the criteria to qualify at any shoot I know of as a longbow. Shawn

Joe...it is a longbow. The riser is quite a bit "meatier" than your standard narrow longbow grip. This type of grip/riser with the thumb rest makes the transition easier for shooters going from recurve to longbow. I personally don't shoot longbows well with the Hill grip or one thats dished. The mass in the riser totally eliminates any and all hand shock plus the grip w/thumb rest puts your hand in exactly the same spot every time and helps eliminate torquing. Here are a few more pics of the riser/grip...

The Hunters Blend is Actionwood, very subtle looking in the woods. Jeffreys use to call his multi colored risers, Mtn Camo...it does blend nice.

Dave...I'm bringing both bows to the bunny hunt so you can shoot mine. Bringing you Kwik Styk right? I'm also bringing the Kempf Stealth to play around with. Should be fun....

Please do not take me too serious when I say it is not really a longbow. Therefore I put a smiley after that statement. For all that shoot 3D tornaments I found an interesting rule in the IFAA  rule book:

7. Longbow - (L.B.)
a. A one piece straight ended bow of any material, which when strung displays one
continued unidirectional curve, which is measured as follows:
When the strung bow is placed with the bowstring in a vertical position, the angle
as measured between the tangent of any point on the limb and an imaginary
horizontal line must always decrease as this point is moved further away from the
bow grip.
