There is an adjustment in shooting these very different styles of bows but not so much that you can't shoot both simultaneously. Whatever bow you shoot, you shoot the arrow not the bow and decent accuracy can be acheived.  We were horsing around this afternoon and the group in the picture was made by the same shooter, shooting a Hill LB and a Black Widow recurve at 24 yards. He shot the first five arrows,(yellow fletching) with the Hill. the second four,(red fletchings), with the Widow.

I do it all the time.Ask anyone who has been to my place shooting. We shoot everything all at the same time(well you know what I mean) Sometimes it takes one shot to let your brain switch gears but other than that being a possibility, it's great fun. Plus no better than I shoot nothing much else matters other than having fun and watching the feathers fly.

God bless,Mudd

PS: I have to admit though that I don't do it with any BW's, they are out of my budgets range.

The road to "Sherwood" makes for an awesome journey.

Yes, you're correct, It's not that difficult at all ....

That is the fun part. I like to take two or three bows out. I shoot six arrows with one, then switch to the other.

It is just plain fun. As much fun as I can have standing up.

I go from a Hill to a Titan complete with flipper rest and I shoot vanes off that one, from one extreme to the other.

I was thinking about starting a post about this. I have a Black Widow recurve, a Howard Hill, and a Self bow. It seems that when my accuracy starts to waiver with one of the bows, I will pick up one of the others and drill tacks again. One week I shoot the BW the best , then the HH, or the self bow. I would think that sticking with one bow would be the best but so far that hasn't been the case. I guess switching keeps bad habits from forming.

I've noticed the same thing and I've concluded that when my shooting starts to falter, I'm losing concentration.  In other words, I've gotten bored.  Swapping bows seems put my mind back on what I'm doing.  :archer2:

Love to let the arrows fly.  As long as the arrows are matched to the bow, it makes no difference which bow I shoot.

What are the arrows made of?  Are they self arrows?  Matched to each bow?  Everyone talks about what kind of bow, but I am learning that arrows make the biggest difference with accuracy.  I am making self arrows and it is very evident that all arrows are not created equal.

I can't shoot both. I could never place the first shot of the day where I wanted to with my hybrid longbow. My recurves would always place the first arrow out of each where I was looking. I think it had to do something with the grip of the longbow. I sold the longbow.

I do the same! But there is another twist, since I am "Bi Bow", I also will shoot my compound at the same sitting. The brain will adjust to them all!

Butch Speer

I shoot three different bows. My arrows are matched to each bow. I really can't tell the difference.
