I've shot more recurves/longbows than most

Lol--you've owned more, but it's not likely you've shot more--at least not more than those of us that have been at it for at least a few years and/or go to the bigger tournaments. Even with a dozen or so year's experience, and having owned between 50 and 100 bows (never kept up--had over 30 personal bows at one time), I can't get the true feel of a bow after only a few hundred shots. With some I can tell if I really don't like it after just a few, but it takes a while to really get to know a bow, find out what string/arrow/point weight/brace height/silencer placement/etc. it likes best.
You coming to any shoots this year? I can get you some dates if you want--I plan on being at the GA state championship in March, Kentucky Klassic in April, Twin Oaks in May, Cloverdale in June, not sure about July yet, and the AL state championship in August. Figure I'll squeeze in a few others along the way, haven't decided yet.
Back to the question though, I haven't shot one. I seldom ever shoot a recurve anymore, except when bowfishing. I don't even check them out at the shoots much anymore--I'm stuck on longbows. I've heard several positive remarks about them, but nobody can tell you what bow is going to work best for you. You will have to try it out for yourself and see.
