ok i looked through ya`lls post which there seem to be very few of. is this a newer forum or are there just not many traditionalist? ive been around here awhile but never really look at the bow section so i wouldent have noticed. but im curious what would the advantages or disadvantages be of the recurve or the long bow? does one shoot faster, or better, or harder? or is it all just personal choice? I wanted a long bow but ive never really even shot one so im mainly basing my purchase on looks i suppose. but i do have a recurve and im getting to like it but im in the market for a new bow here in the next few months. so ya`lls input will definatly help with my decision on what to get. thanks,sean
