What's an "off-season"? Is that something recurve shooters participate in????        :bigsmyl:

I just looked at the latest results: 9%, 22%, 30%, and 40%. Guess which one is the 40%!??! Yeah, you got it, RECURVE!

But I gotta admit, that Beeler hybrid I sold several months ago sure was a shooter!   :archer:    :p

Where are all my Hill style brethren ?

I will chime in here with recurve. I am drawn to the longbow though not exactly sure why, With the longbow I have I will admit that I am very consistent with it(cant hit a thing).
A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter has no gallery to applaud or disaprove of his conduct.    Aldo Leupold

Shawnee with Dakota LONGBOW limbs... or a MOAB...

"American Flatbow"... I think I like that terminology.  ;)   Whatever you want to call them, they are what I like!   :thumbsup:

Robertson Vision Falcon; however, I have a MOAB on the way-should get it in July. It is my latest attempt to make a longbow my go-to.  :banghead:

Been shooting recurves for about 15 years now, mostly a GN superghost, going to have to vote for aggresive longbow though, new Javaman Tanjavur has spoiled me, just love to shoot it. Will be my go-to bow for some time, it just shoots so well for me, smooth, fast, hits where I'm looking, and the grip is perfect for me.  Todd

I have both recurves and longbows,but my goto bow is without my Predator Custom Classic. I enjoy shooting my longbows, but, for some reason I just can't get the accuracy from them that I can with a recurve. I also like my Martin Dreamcatcher  :campfire:
