...go with the one that feels/shoots the best to you. For some that is a recurve, for some it's a longbow.
Yep. Shoot whichever one you're most comfortable with. That's about as deep as it gets.
As much as I like longbows, I have to admit I'm not real good with 'em beyond 15 yards or so. "Real good" meaning having a better than 50/50 chance of making a head shot on a squirrel or rabbit. I'm a much better shot with a recurve when distances get further.
For some guys, it's the exact opposite. They're better with the longbow. Only way to find out which is for you is to try both. Besides, there is absolutely no way a civilized man can keep house without at least one of each.
