RE: Different styles more forgiving of form?
That's a tough thing to answer since it is a real personal thing. Out of my bows it seem like my Adcock longbow is the most forgiving followed by my Brackenburry recurve.
Also work into the equation the length of the bow, centercut, and how the grip fits your hand. The bows that I mentioned are the longest bows that I own (66" and 68"). I have a 60" longbow that is the pickiest of all my bows.
