I own both as well, 3 Shawnee's and alot of limbs. I've always prefered longbow over recurve of any make. After trying a set of Arapahoe limbs I was sold, and now own a recurve. That said I'm still a bigger Dakota fan. I've never had and limb twist or string walking issues with my Arapahoe (these can be recurve issues, with any recurve).I have both the actionboo and foam/carbon limbs. I shoot heavier poundage 65 - 75# and don't really notice a big difference myself between the two.
