It has been written that some legends of the longbow considered recurves and short bows to be unforgiving and touchy, while the ASL was regarded as more forgiving and stable.
Much has been discussed and debated about these statements.
Recently, I have also realized that the ASL is a unfiltered truth teller. If you listen to the bow it will tell you the flaws in your form. Especially without extra silencers, locator grip, and leather side plate. This can help you diagnose and fix those items quickly and really helps make you a better shot with any bow.
After toying with other types and going back to the Longbow, I realized that despite the terrible arrow flight resulting from my poor form that other bows were hiding from me, those arrows still grouped together likely as a result of the reduction in finger pinch and increased angles that have been discussed elsewhere at length.
So after some reflection I think this is why the classic ASL gets my nod as more forgiving despite it's unbridled truth of my flaws.
Curious what other folks thoughts are on the subject?
