I started a couple years ago with a Striker, then a Black Widow then a Robertson.  Now I'm looking for another bow, not selling any just looking.  Used would be fine that's like telling my wife its on sale.  Seems to work for her.  Went to my first traditional shoot this spring. Shot a lot of bows, had a really good time.  Probably will get a longbow then I will have 2 of each.  Problem with going to the shoots is so many bows not enough money.

Buy a T/D with a grip you love and have a set of each made!! I shoot recurves now, but shot a t/d with longbow and recurve limbs for quite a while. The big advantage is when going to short bow longbows under 58"s will be finicky and mat stach a bit but recurves dowb to 48"s will do a bit better!  Shawn
