Long bow vs. recurve

(1/2) > >>

Tbob:
So I’d like to swap out my compound for a traditional bow, but not sure what to get. I like the idea and looks of the Longbow, but I’ve been reading that you get a bit more accuracy and speed with a recurve.. if you were just starting out in Tradional archery and would like to use it someday for hunting big game as well which route would you go and why?
   The other tough thing is that I’m a lefty, so it’s tough for me to find bows to just shoot and try out..
   Thanks so much!

I would start off with a recurve. Typically they are a little easier to shoot. They make some really good reflex/deflex longbows that will shoot with them though. Buy a cheap recurve and go to some trad shoots and shoot as many different baows as you can. Spend some time with the cheap one first

Special T:
I have both a compound and a recurve. I purchased a Samic Sage at Riverside Archery because they had several different poundage limbs to try out and see what was comfortable. I was out the door with a half dozen arrows with a glove for $230ish.

I now shoot a finger tab.

If you are able to make it over to Moses Lake area for the Rock Shoot, it would be well worth the drive and a blast!  http://tbwonline.org/events/
