I have a Pierce Point right hand and a myrtle on myrtle lefty, both are 52 pounds at 26&1/4". When I was at a gathering a while back, a fellow with a recurve about the same pull except at his 28" draw, was busy telling me about his stored energy and bow speed and how I was actually getting less power than he would with a forty pound bow and that I should not be shooting 1918s. That is all well and good, except using my 1918s with 200 grains up front, my Robertson longbows chrono-ed faster than his recurve shooting the same arrow at our indivual draw lengths.
I am not all that sure about the argument that a standard Hill style bow is more forgiving. I like my Hill style bows as well, but I cannot say that they are more or less forgiving than my faster per pound Robertsons, just being honest about my own observations.
