I don't mind a heavy riser on a recurve, but it just doesn't suit me on a longbow. My first custom was one of Roy's--a great bow, I just never could get accustomed to the riser. I do like a heavy riser wood, but in a small riser (on a longbow at least).

I meant the comparison as acompliment to both! lol Both make a beautiful bow and really good shooters.
