Long longbow

Both, mostly recurve, but willing to put more time into longbow.

recurve for 3d, longbow for hunting.

Gentlemen, really happy that you are participating but it's a vote to bring out the majority at the moment, some of you say both...

Have shot both but its Longbow for me.

I found where to enable polls in the system....

I've killed a lot with both, but I'm a longbow guy for sure.

No chance could I choose. BOTH.

Specifically, my 3 perfect bows are a Northern Mist Ramer, A Black Widow PCH, and a Shrew Classic Hunter.

Oh great! It will probably be necessary to make an explanatory topic a bit like for the images

Recurve.

This Paul Bunyan 100, 50# Fiberglas bow is really surprising me. I'm still a D/R longbow fan.

End of survey!

I didn't expect such a strong majority for longbows but it's interesting. Thank you for participating.

For a little more content, here is a Bow & Arrow article from 1963 where Howard Hill and Doug Kittredge were already debating the subject.

Wow! That magazine brings back memories. Thanks for posting!

Interesting articles. Written in different times and conditions. All wood bows vs more modern composite bows. It is easy to see how the hybrid longbow came about. Straight limbed recurves, as it were.

Fred Asbell referred to them as such.

I mentioned that to him at PBS San Antonio and he said, "It is amazing how you can say something of the cuff and it comes back to you."
