lewis hollow-longbow or recurve limbs

[jimboby]

I am going to get a new set of limbs for my Hyestani and would like to know the experience of others who have both longbow and recurve limbs for this bow.  I currently have 55# longbow limbs and like them a lot. They are  smooth, quiet, and reasonably fast.  What do like or not like about the recurve limbs?  BTW whichever set i get will be 45#.  I know the recurve limbs are shorter for this setup but dodn't know anything else about them.  I would appreciate your thoughts.

By the way welcome  I would get some recurve in a shorter length than the longbow.That way you will have some options when to use either one.I shoot a Bob Lee and have both kinds of limbs for my risers and trade them often.Kip

I have both recurve and longbow limbs on my combo hyestani. My recuve limbs makes a 58" bow and my longbow limbs make a 62" bow. I only shot the longbow limbs twice I love the recurve limbs and they have been on my bow since then. My recurve limbs are really smooth and they are 47lbs at my draw of 28". Chris is a really nice guy I had another bow ordered but he stopped making bows for awhile. I wouldnt hesitate to order another from him but I just got two new bob lees so maybe another time

Thanks for the replies.  Brad, I live in Indiana County, not too far away.  If you are left handed, I would love to shoot your bow.  I spoke to Chris recently, he is making bows again.  His advice is that the longbow limbs are a bit quieter, the recurve limbs add some versatility.  Interesting that you mostly shoot the recurve limbs.  I know there are times when a shorter bow would be handy in hunting situations.  Just wanted to make sure the recurve limbs could be made to be quiet enough.  BTW, what arrow setup do you use?

I also use SBD string on my bow and it made it super quiet, I killed my biggest buck to date with my bow last year and used my lewis hollow 47 lbs@28 recurve limbs and stinger broadheads
