I shoot both. It depends on the mood I'm in. Can't really tell a lot of difference on the accuracy. But I do have to shoot differently depending on the bow. I have no idea which one I will be hunting with this year. Gary

Both, I have a two kijika stiks same riser for both the longbow and the recurve and they both shoot the same!It doesn't matter which one I grab I will still hit where I'm looking!  I like shooting both bows equally!

Long Bow. I switched from recuves about 5 years ago, now the recurve does'nt feel balanced right in my hand anymore.

Right now my goto bow for the "daily fix" is my Firefly longbow [email protected] from Jim Jones.

It`s smooth and if I hadn't measured the draw-weight I would never guessed that weight.
Oh and it hits the targets with heavy authority.  :archer:

I like the looks and quietness of a longbow, but for accuracy it is a BlackWidow PCH for me.

Longbows. Nothing against recurves, just love those longbows.
