My first trad bow was a TD recurve and I still like it a lot. Shot a longbow a few years ago and really loved the way it felt and shot; absolutely LOVED how much it weighed (little of nothing). The recurve is lite but still heavier than the LB, possibly due to being a TD and having a heavier riser because of it. Finally was able to get a custom longbow a couple weeks ago and love it now. (Haven't shot the recurve since but I'll let you know how it feels when I do. I'm trying to get to where I feel confident enough with the LB to go on a last-ditch deer hunt before the season closes.)
