Whew! There a lot opinions about longbows vs recurves. In my experiences, longbows tend to be a lot more forgiving with a great deal more kinetic energy at impact. That…is what we strive for when hunting. My 70# Martin Mountaineer has pound for pound more kinetic energy on impact than my 60# recurve which tends to be a little faster out of the “hole” so to speak. I have chosen to shoot strickly with my longbow because at 25 yards it shoots more accurately and with a more flat trajectory than does my recurve. I love them both but I prefer my longbow any day. But…that is only my humble opinion.
