Everything is give and take depending on what you are looking for. For instance, take a Howard Hill Longbow strung and try to twist the limb tips. I bet you can't. Now do the same on pretty much any recurve. I probably wouldnt enter any of my HH's into a "dead in the hand" contest though.


For the person moving from compound to traditional though, it does seem like a lot make the transition easier with a recurve. But choose the one you want to shoot. There is no right/wrong answer here. Eventually, you'll probably end up with both.
