Howdy Stumpkiller!

I can relate.  Before this 64" longbow, I was shooting a 56" recurve.  I'd shot it well enough but at times struggled.

I've not looked back.

Best regards, Skychief

What's really funny is Howard Hill said he didn't shoot recurves cause he couldn't shoot good enough to be accurate with one.

That is a funny and curious statement coming from HH.

That is interesting Terry! I've shot both and notice a slight difference in how each shoots for me but if I do my part my accuracy is the same with either. The longbows seem to fit my hand better as I like a low wrist grip. The longbows seem to have a slight vibration at release but after a shot or two I get used to it. I guess that's from the difference in mass weight of my recurve to longbow. Just something about hunting with a longbow though that keeps drawing me to them!!

I believe I heard nearly that exact same statement from Byron Ferguson years ago when he was doing a show at an Ohio Deer and Turkey expo.
