Well, since getting back into trad I've shot a Morrison takedown. My Cheyenne and Shawnee have been my "go to" bow for the past 4-years. It's a bow that you feel like you can hit anything with everytime you pick it up(except those S.C pigs!lol)Now I've played with several  longbows in search of one that I really like and shoot good. Back up bow per say. I must say I've not had a bad looking one and they all shot pretty good for me. For one reason or another I've sold them all and my quest continues.
A few months ago I tried a Morrison Dakota and really liked it. Never shot it much due to being in mid season and I don't switch bows in mid season. But the last couple weeks found me shooting this bow when the chance arose. The more I shot my longbow, the more I liked the feel. Not just because it's a Morrison,but because the longbow in general started to feel good in my hands. I've always been a recurve guy probably because I shot them so well. I'm gaining that confidence with this longbow now.
Anyhow,not sure where this might lead, but if this is any indication, I unstrung the recurve today and broke it down. Time will tell.

I guess I've rambled enough. Time to go to work.
 

And NO, my Shawnee is not for sale!!!! At least not right now.  

Been there. Done that.

I started trad with a Colorado Bighorn takedown. Enjoyed it for a year or so until I shot a friend's longbow. Fell in love. Long story short: All I have now is longbows.

ENJOY!!!!!

I think he has the bug.  

That is a good looking bow! Shoot straight and enjoy.

Merry Christmas.

Yep, longbows are addictive. I currently have 4, with another on the way.

It is fun to change once in a while.

It's not hard to fall for Bob's long bows, I have a few.

It goes in cycles!...I have 2 longbows and two recurves. I'll shoot one recurve for a season or two then pick up one of the longbows and think wow!!!forgot how sweet this shoots, and shoot that one a while. Sometimes your brain just needs/wants a little change of pace.

Still got that "jarhead" haircut I see, lol

Thats a sweet looking longbow for sure, for me in my house I just keep picking up the ol curve!

I never had to make any switch other than from selfbow to modern glass backed longbows.

I have just come in from shooting my

Howard Hill Cheetah 66" 60@28(soon to be a Jay St Charles yew T/D)

Jerry Hill 68" 50@28

incognito ASAT BW 66" 48@28

H.H. Big 5 68" 50@28

I think there might have been one or two more but.. that memory thingy again..lol

Any way the more I shoot my Hills and Hill style bows, the more I love them.

God bless,Mudd

I started with a longbow and have always shot the longbow better than the recurve. I've shot some good recurves but, cannot ever see myself becoming a recurve guy. I just love the feel of the longbow better. Good luck with your bow.  

Yeah man, hang on to your recurves. I have been shooting a recurve for the last year and a half but Monday night, I unstrung my Swamp Rooter and strung up the BW longbow. No reason. Just wanted a change.

Nice looking bow Mike. The best of success with it.

I still love my recurves, but since acquiring a Griffin LB I have really enjoyed shooting it. They are both fun in their own way I guess.

nice looking Bow Mike  

semper fi !

This topic is one of the reasons I wouldn't dare to even try a longbow.  I don't trust me.  

I don't want NOT to love my curves!
