Fraley:

When I first wanted to get into trad....I posted a thread int he trad forum asking about a Hoyt Gamemaster recurve. I ended up with a longbow.

I've never looked back. I'm extremely happy with my (stumbled-upon) choice...and I know it was right for ME. But....ask a lot of questions. What did it for me was the simplicity of the longbow.

It's "beautiful".
