RE: Longbow vs. Recurve
Wow, I definitely have to thank all of you for all your replies. This is a little more than I expected. Also, I went back and inquired about the RC, It is NOT a Martin. It just looks extremely similar to the Martin Hatfield. It was a custom bow made for some guy named Mike (omitt last name) as evident from the scrolling on the riser in caligraphy. He told me the name of the Bowyer but my mind has wandered and I forgot the gent's name as usual. Nonetheless, I have put the bow on layaway and will hope to hunt with it next year. That should give me plenty of time to practice. Thanks again for all your replies, what a wealth of knowledge you all are...
