By what I mean, a bow around 60"-64" long and when you look at it braced, it's really neither a recurve or a longbow, but can be called one or the other by those that see it. What do you all think about them?

I have a 58" Selway Lil Mag that I like a lot. I don't consider it a longbow, but it is a very good hunting bow. To me one of the big advantages of the hybred is good shootability and performance in a shorter design.

his old video of me working on my form shows the profile well. This one is actually 66" but very hybrid.

Personally, a Longbow should be exactly that. If you want something different, try a recurve. Maybe I am a purist, but Hill Styled Longbows are where its at!!

Look at the profile of this 60" bigfoot sasquatch talk about hybrid!

The hybrid long bow is still my best seller, and my personal choice for hunting.... All the advantages of a recurve in the energy storage, and smooth draw dept, with the push pull stringing advantage of the long bow.

I think they slide through the brush much easier than a recurve does too.

My Kanati is my all-time favorite bow. Period!

Oh, I forgot to mention this. I only care to hear from those that like the design, as the title of the thread stated. If you like the hybred design speak up if you're a purist, type on a purist thread.

Mike, I love the design...enough that it is basically all that I own. However, 60" is max length for me! I started with a hybrid and see no reason to change. I only have a few bows compared to some of the diehards on here but....I'm pretty fond of the hybrids that I currently have and looking forward to trying a few more. :D

Mike,

I love my Thunderstick MOAB, which I would say is a hybrid design. However, my daughters say that their Maddog longbows are much cooler!

I currently have a 58 inch one piece longbow that is a RD type. It has longbow limbs with a medium recurve grip. I LOVE IT! It is everything I could want in a bow! The other big factor I like in this bow, is that it is completely dead in the hand after the shot. That is a huge factor for me and many other guys.

I actually looked the other day to see if you made that style bow since you have great prices and my daughter needs a bow.

The only thing that would improve my bow is if it had been offered in 62 inch length.

AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO SAY IT LIKE IT IS!

I built mine from a Binghams design, both the 1 piece and a 3 piece TD and I love the way they shoot! I really do believe it is the best of both worlds!

Oh, and I have a McCullough Griffin longbow if that counts.

I really like my two 60" Treadway Black Swamp hybrids.
