I was longbows and wood arrows only for 10-15 years, then I got into selfbows.  The last year or so I bought the cheapest recurve I could find to test a new string material...now I rather shoot it than any of my other bows.

I'll eventually get back to my longbows and selfbows...but I also see an ILF recurve in my future, probably a metal riser style.

It's all good.

I am also shooting a recurve these days more than a longbow.  I had a great season with a recurve in 2014, total penetration on all game taken.  I shoot one better than a longbow, just the truth...

Like others I'm drawn to a LB but I shoot curves better. The only LB I've ever shot well is the A&H 3 piece.  

I like them all and have a cellar full to prove it. Whatever my mood is at the time is what I take and sometimes a few of each.

Have been shooting traditional bows since 1946.  I have 37 of them, recurves and longbows - about half and half.  I have killed most of my game with a longbow, but sometimes I will go out on my range with a Tamerlane or Howatt Ventura just for the "zen" experience.   Keep all your bows.  Your grand kids will love you for it.
