Nope,,no “true” longbow will out fast a good recurve.
R/D bows ?,,yes there’s plenty of them that can match or beat the best recurves.
Really becomes “what do you call a longbow.
I own or have owned many R/D bows,,a couple of American Semi longbows “as described and built by Howard Hill”.
I’ve never owned a real longbow,,,and don’t ever want to.
I’m from Brittish stock,,,I know what a longbow really is:wink:

Now for the purposes of this thread,,,If you buy a modern R/D bow “commonly called a longbow” you won’t give away much if anything in performance,,,you may give away some wheight based stability due to the bow being light in the hand compered to the average recurve,,,but that’s about it.
:lol:The R/d bow will of course always be much better looking
