I clicked on both. My initial 25+ years were spent using longbows and recurves. I then went through a period of using both and eventually to compounds exclusively due to severe arthritis in my hands. But..I just went back to a light 44# recurve and I seem to be able to shoot 20 -30 arrows before I have to quit. Next season I'll be back to trads. Nothing like the satisfaction of success with a bare bow trad.....
