I have a couple of beautiful longbows and a couple of classics on order but I just realized I shoot a recurve WAY better.  Crap...now what?

maybe its a grip thing. I've seen some very creative use of bondo on here before.

I had the same thing years ago.I just started shooting the longbows more and more and finally got use to them.It doesn't matter what I pick up now I feel comfortable with both.Within a few shots it all comes together.I'll bet at some time you had a hard time shooting recurves?Just keep at it ,It'll work.All the best.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

I have found that different longbows have to be shot differently. It is a handle and balance thingie. It all comes together when I put them all down and pick one. The Centaurs are not like the Stewarts are not like the Morrisons are not like the Hills. And NONE of them are like a '65 K-Mag.

Put everything down and just go stumping with one little ol' longbow. You will get to know each other and your targets will improve.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

I'm a recurve man. I bought one hybrid longbow with the usual longbow grip, not straight like a Hill, but not a recurve grip either. I could never put the first shot of the day where I was looking with the longbow like I can with my two recurves and after two years of trying many different ways to grip the longbow, I gave up and sold the longbow. Hope you have better luck with your longbows than I did.
