Shootin a recurve cause I don't have a longbow yet. As soon as I dump a Widow and drive to Kimsha, it'll be a longbow.

As soon as my pending sale for my hybrid longbow goes through, I'll only have my take down recurves left and that's what I'll be using. No more longbows for me. I don't shoot them as accurately as I do a recurve.

Presently I have four recurves with one other recurve on order, I have one longbow and another on order. All of my bows are takedown and my Blackfeather is a "convertible".....same riser with both recurve and longbow limbs. I have found that I shoot the recurves more consistantly than the longbows. I don't know why, but even with the same riser I shoot the recurve better. I'll check back in after I get the 20th Anniversary longbow that Ben Graham is building for me. It also seems to me that I shoot the heavier, "hand filling" risers more consistantly than I do the smaller grips. We are all different and when I find something that works for me.........I am reluctant to let it go.
Your mileage may vary..............

I have four recurves and a longbow. I must say I am going to hunt with my longbow some this season! BUT with that said if I want more of a "gaurantee" I will pick up my take down recurve, just because I am a way better shot with it. It is just the difference between a pie plate group and a tennis ball group! Either way, I can put meat on the ground!

Gun to my head, one shot I
had
to make, life on the line, I'd have to go with my Morrison Cheyenne.
I love all my longbows, I prefer the look, the way they shoot, the quietness, everything about them all. I just shoot my Cheyenne better than any other bow.

Hybrid long bows, best of both worlds for me.

This Year is The Year of the Recurved Bow for Me. Back in 2004 before I joined Tradgang I had a Bear Hunter T/D Recurved Bow...
The riser cracked and NOT KNOWING any better I sold it and Got a Shrew Original 54" Long Bow Used. Used that from 2005 - 2008. I Sold My Shrew in late Summer, I Made a Selfbow and wanted to just stay with that bow...
Now Since March of This Year I have and will be hunting with a PSE KingFisher Recurved Bow w/woodies & 160grn Snuffers

Most of my bows are hybrids/ longbows, plus a few T/D recurves and self-bows. Really doesn't make much difference. I hunt with them all.
