As you see my stable is about evenly split. My D/R longbows just shine in the hunting woods, out perform my recurves with similar poundage. Two have almost pistol grips and two have locator grips, hybrids and best of both worlds.

Recurve. Curvaceous is where it's at.

Longbow. Got back into archery a few years back, after twenty years away, when a friend gave me a compound, took a few shots, hated the vibration, noise and feel.

Found a recurve, riser with bolt on limbs, shot it for a couple months, hated the vibration and the sound. The flat limbs had no real feel.

Found a used string follow longbow, shot it, and immediately thought "I'm home!". Nearly silent, no vibration, smooth draw and feel, puts an arrow where I look if I do my part. I only shoot longbow these days. Life is too short to find your bow annoying.

For the moment the longbow is the majority. No doubt a remnant of your British friends!

For those who said hybrid, the hybrid is more of a longbow than a recurve, so those votes will be counted with the longbows!

Shot and hunted with recurves from 1969 to 1987 then shot and hunted with longbows from 1988 to appox 1994. Then switched to custom recurves like Robertson, Schafer, Morrison. Last 23 years been shooting and hunt with Bear recurves only. Love my Bear recurves. So, I'm a recurve guy now.

Geez, this is like "blondes or brunettes"? I like them all - recurves, longbows, and selfbows . . . bows baby bows!

We agree but civilization has made us monogamous beings, we have to choose one!

The survey is of little interest otherwise...

While I have a romance for the longbow, give me a 60" one piece recurve and I'm hitting everything within my range.

Longbow for hunting but still enjoy my older recurves for 3d and non-serious shooting.

Longbows...

But still like curves in my (wife) Lucy!

English llongbows and similar for me. I’ll shoot about anything but those are my favorite.

I like both but I have too many recurves that need attention so Recurve for me

Cordite · « **Reply #38 on:** April 22, 2024, 02:05:03 PM »

Recurve for many years. Longbow only now.
