I know I like the draw of a longbow better, the quietness. But I like the grip of a recurve better. And the grip is important. I used to think a recurve of same weight and length could easily out-perform a longbow. But my 50# savannah is a tad faster than my 50# dreamcatcher. But the savannah is reflex deflex, and close to being a recurve.

I think for most, its the comfortable grip. I have been shooting my osage self bow alot lately, and that straight grip is tough on the wrists.
