that's comparing lemons to apples, every bow has its limitations.
Do you shoot up to 50 yrds with your longbow ?
I want to be able to shoot as best as possible with my compound as well as my longbow.

F.

other than that you are right but after shooting two weeks longbow you lose form just enough to lose some accurasy

Step back to 70 and 80 and shoot several groups, then move back up to 50,you'll see a big improvement.

Brad, do you have that much trouble shooting a recurve? I see constant replies on complaining how hard it is to shoot a recurve. I mean you have been at it for a long time and you have had a bunch of trad bows. Just surprised you seem to have so much trouble shooting one decent.

From looking at your video,the release elbow is 1 issue that can cause your problems.Having everything in line with the arrow is something we should try to achieve.But,you are also punching the trigger.It is a smooth punch and would be quite effective for a quick command release in a hunting situation but for target groups,firing with BT is crucial.

Now,as far as equipment,the radiacal bow will magnify the other issues but tight groups are attainable.I would put a longer stab on the bow,a 10" with the weight out front might do a great deal for tightening the groups at distance.


Another thing I am sure you have seen talked about is trusting the float.Let the pin float around the spot and trust that your Bt will put the arrow in the spot.
