Guss, I have a longbow w/a flat grip too. I've hadmine for years & it's taken its share of animals, but I had to shoot it ALOT to keep my accuracy up to snuff. I still really like the feel of that grip when I wrap my hand around it, but I don't have nearly the time to shoot these days, so I don'tshoot that bow much right now. For me the flat grip adds an extra challenge & isn't the easiest to be consistent with.

....but then again, 'easy' isn't what we're after is it?
