Very nice combination.  Great bows.  Hope to see my three piece long bow in the near future.  Have fun.  Jeff

Jeff,

you will love your 3 piece longbow. I got mine a week or so ago. They are sweet.

Hello Joe, Thanks for the kind words.

groyce, your 3 pc longbow is extremely nice. How do you like the grip? I've only seen pics of the grip, but I'd love to shoot one. Is it basically the same grip as the recurves?

Billy,
I think the grip is maybe just a little narrower. I shot a recurve when I was at Dave's a while back, and the longbow seems slimmer. Maybe just due to the slimmer overall design of the LB. I like it though, but if I do it again I would probably go with the high wrist grip. Maybe just a little more palm swell.

I wraped my handle with a piece of rawhide boot lace, it was too narrow and that seemed to do the trick. Shoots and fits a lot better.
