I shot recurves for 30 yrs. before finding a longbow that shot an arrow the way I feel a bow should shoot one. Now I hunt mainly with my Shelby Mustang longbow but every now and then I get the recurve out and shoot something with it just because. My son shoots the Hill longbows exclusively and loves them and is very accurate with them. Like Arthur P. says, it' s an individual thing but if you don' t try you' ll never know!
