Who all shoots a recurve and a LB?

[Col]

I shoot both + a string rifle on occasion.  No probs switching; your hand tells your mind how to adjust.  

I hope someday to acquire the time and resources where I can use the same arrows for all three.  As it is, I've got a lot of sticks and straws.

[Curveman]

I agree with Whip-if you are just switching the limbs there is very little change. But I look at some of those bows and say:"What's the point?- they are as much recurves as they are longbows." In some cases you have to look close to tell!    :D   Hybrids are great don't get me wrong, but when I really want to capture that "longbow experience", personally I have to go with a Howard Hill type handle and a true "D" shape (when strung at least) bow. That switch involves a little bit of work. Not too much for me but I wouldn't just grab one or the other and go. I'd need to shoot some practice rounds to ensure I felt comfortable again.

I shoot both--Shafer recurves and Black Widow PL longbows.No problems switching between the two

[George D. Stout]

As Curveman said hybrids are more recurve, especially the 3 piece models.  The classic design longbow is no more difficult to shoot than any other bow.  Just get used to the feel of it and you're good to go.

I enjoy shooting both. No problem either way just depends on how I feel that day.

[GrnMtnTradNut]

Shoot them both love them both but do shoot the recurves better.

[frassettor]

I had no problems switching either. I was surprised how it didnt really effect anything.

[Benny Nganabbarru]

I try.

[BobCo 1965]

I shoot recurves, longbows and selfbows. But I usually settle in on one certain bow a few months before the season and stick with it.

[Bird Dog]

I shoot both and have no trouble switching back and forth.

I shoot both. Like shooting any new bow it takes a little for the internal computer to get used to it.  I can switch from one longbow to another and it takes 15-20 shots before I get dialed in, but that it the only issue.

Your biggest problem will be deciding which one to shoot at any given session

I shoot both.  Somehow magically my two go-to bows shoot the same arrows at the same point of aim so there is very little adjustment between the two.

[Irish Archer]

I shoot them both. Shoot recurves better, but I'm starting to like longbows more, the more I shoot them.

[joe skipp]

Shoot both...but I have my longbow grip very similiar to my recurves so there isn't much difference. I could never shoot a standard longbow grip well. My longbow is also center cut with a thunb rest for positive hand placement every time.
I do favor the recurves...just more comfortable shooting them.

[akbowbender]

I shoot a 60" Predator recurve, a 60" Kanati and a 62" Whip without a problem. I usually bring all three to the range with me so they all get a workout.

[Bob G]

I bought a longbow in Jan and said I would commit to a 6 mo. trial period with it (no recurve) Well we are in the third month with the longbow and I cannot go back to the recurve till the end of June. Things are going great with the longbow I really like it after 40+ years with a recurve. Soooo I will have to get back to you in June. Stay tuned.

[Plumber]

I own both I have only been shooting trad for 3yrs I like to work with one at a time .when hunting I will comit to 1 bow until I make a kill then I will switch. but in the summer I will use more then one bow at 3-d shoots just to switch around.they do say beware of the man with one bow. but that aint me I want one of everything .

[Boone the Hunter]

i love my recurve, but i have a widow plx on order and i know i'll have a tough time figuring out what bow to shoot, as far as switching goes i shoot my bro's pl very good, no problem

[TradOnly]

I don't know if it's the difference in length or what but to hit the same spot at the same yardage I can't shoot 3-under with the 'curve like I do with the LB.

[leatherneck]

I myself shoot both and have my longbows cut slightly past center. This way I shoot the same arrows, tips, etc. Now my longbow is a one piece and I shoot a takedown for a recurve. Longbow limbs on my takedown shoot the same. IMO.
