I shot a recurve this weekend for the first time in years, other than bowfishing or just a few shots to see how a bow felt, etc. I plan to shoot a tournament or two with it this summer--the TN Classic has an "Iron Man" class where you are required to compete with longbow, selfbow, and recurve. I generally shoot the longbow and selfbow classes anyway, so I figured "why not?".

I prefer the feel of a longbow, the lighter mass weight, the quieter shot, the grip (on mine). I can shoot a recurve accurately, I just prefer my longbow.
