Well, Chad, I was shocked this last week to find out my longbow is outperforming my recurve. It has to be the string. I have always wanted those pretty recurves with all the different woods. But in my head I needed a good reason to get one. I always thought the recurve could blow away the longbow and I liked the grip. But I keep coming back to my longbow is quieter than that recurve, shoots harder, better arrow flight.

So after several dozen hours trying for good arrow flight, I am at the point of why???? I like the grip on recurves. Much more comfortable than the low grip on a longbow. But at this point, instead of beating my head against the wall practicing with my recurve, I better be practicing with my longbow I plan on using the most for hunting season which is approaching quickly.
