What's your favorite type of bow to shoot?

[Elkman1985]

Howdy fellas,
   I was wondering what's your favorite type of bow to shoot, i.e. recurve, longbow, hybrid, etc. and why?

[slivrslingr]

D/R (or hybrid) longbow, good performance, low handshock and still looks like a longbow.  My Toelke Whip is by far my favorite!

Just about anything that meets my specs.I have a bunch of different stuff and I like it all!

LONG longbow, 66"-70", at comfortable draw weight, locator grip of some type, could be either a hybrid that still looks close to a D or a mild reflex-deflex D shape or Hill, all three have their particular charm.

I enjoy the length for reasons of stability..length and mass adds inertia which keeps things settled, and string angle around the string-hand fingers is low.  Longer bows just give me a cleaner release.  There's also just something about a bow that's almost as tall as you are.  

Performance standouts to me in the category I described come from Leon Stewart, Toelke, 21st Century, Holm-made, and David Miller, but there are so many others.

My first trad bow was a 3 piece Hornes Mountain bow. Awesome shooter. Now my hands down go to bow is my Thunderstick MAG. I have never been able to shoot a D style bow to save my neck. So I'll say R/D longbows and recurves.

I like them all . I like to play with all my toys.

I like shooting them all,I started out shooting longbows only.But I like shooting some of my recurves very much.If I was to pick one it would be my longbows.

a fedora !!!! no just kidding. my all time  bow a horse bow 48'' nock to nock  50# oh man they are so quick

[Brainflex]

The one in my hand at the time! launching arrows is fun, made all the better when I hit something, lol.

I like the foreward riser Frontier 66 string follow better than any bow I ever shot .Its not a speed demon compared to the D and Rs and Static Recurves but its pleanty fast and a pure joy to shoot. In fact I got to get me one. I worked Glenns out real good before I sent it off to him.

God Bless you all, Steve

Vintage recurves that have been restored.

I prefer the American Semi -longbows. More specifically the JD Berry Morningstar right now. It too is a forward riser bow and there is just something unique about that design

[Tradcat]

I have shot recurves.hybrids,R/D longbows & D shaped longbows. I have around a 26" draw and have found that I shoot mild R/D longbows between 64"-66" the best(performance & accuracy). The model I shoot now is a 64"Robertson Purist 58@26" I would give ANYTHING if Jerry Brumm from Great Northern would start making Critter Gitter's again. I'd order a 64" model the second he said he'd start making them !!!

[Jim Picarelli]

I'm mostly shooting ILF recurves but lately I've been shooting a 64" 57@28 Zebra longbow alot

[T Lail]

shot longbows for years, now shoot a 58" 51# recurve....fits me well and I seem to shoot it better. Love them all though.

[Big Lefty]

Picked up a Wes Wallace Royal a couple months back, 66" and 60# at my 29" draw.  I shoot it better than any recurve I ever shot.

[Knawbone]

Long bows are my favorite by far. Self bows are the most fun to shoot and play with.

[shade mt]

It changes monthly, weekly and daily...last couple day's i'm on a recurve kick. Chances are come fall hunting season. i'll be back to my favorite mild 64" R/d...It's one dog-gone lethal hunting bow..seems to never miss.

[Car54]

Got to be my Liberty Edge,  smooth and quick.

[threeunder]

Longbows and static recurves.   Just something about launching an arrow quietly.
