Hey Gang,
  I thought since the political races are getting into swing it would be fitting to post a poll.   ;)   It would be interesting to see what kind of preferences we have as a "gang" overall as far as bow preferences goes.  Now, this poll is for the bows you most hunt with/your go-to bow.  Happy polling, Matt

I decline to participate on the grounds that I can not make up my mind  :rolleyes:  
Started out the year with a recurve, but ended it with a longbow.  Might prefer something else again next month  ;)

What's your definition of a hybrid?

I went with longbow, since there wasn't a box to check for "all of the above", lol. I'm just a bow junkie, be it my Appalachian longbow or the little osage selfbow by Steve Nuckels. As long as it's a stick and string, I'm there.

Longbow. They are soooo quiet and cool. Sorry about the Packers. I wanted to see old school in it again also.

Recurve is all I have for now. Hopefully that will change by the end of April.

Matt,
    For now it's my recurve but I have my eye on a longbow I'm thinkin I can't live without.

I like the J D Berry Renaissance longbow and a old Dan Berry Longbow I made back in 1997 when I was handcrafting bows.

I had to think a bit before deciding whether a longbow or hybrid.  If I had to narrow the herd down to one, I guess it would be the hybrid, so that is how I voted.  The answer might have been different had I looked at this tomorrow.     :confused:     :archer:
