What's an "off-season"? Is that something recurve shooters participate in????        :bigsmyl:

Gotta be one of the Wes Wallace Royal's.......But, a new (1960) Howatt Catalina just showed up so we'll see as soon as I get a string on it.

I just looked at the latest results: 9%, 22%, 30%, and 40%. Guess which one is the 40%!??! Yeah, you got it, RECURVE!

But I gotta admit, that Beeler hybrid I sold several months ago sure was a shooter!   :archer:    :p

Where are all my Hill style brethren ?
C'mon, I know we are an exclusive mob and have more style and flair than everyone else ... but don't be shy ...
Otherwise Rob is gonna go off on his Mohawk tangent again...
C'mon Mudd ...ya can't sit on the fence all day ...!!! I know Vince's Mohawk classic is nice but we Hill shooters need to band together ....
We endure handshock for a reason...to win polls like this ...   :goldtooth:

I will chime in here with recurve. I am drawn to the longbow though not exactly sure why, With the longbow I have I will admit that I am very consistent with it(cant hit a thing).
A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter has no gallery to applaud or disaprove of his conduct.    Aldo Leupold

I'm with Robtatoo...June is for giving the bow a rest and all free time is chasing smallmouth and largmouth bass.....oh yeah...my Kempf Stealth curve.

Robertson Vision Falcon; however, I have a MOAB on the way-should get it in July. It is my latest attempt to make a longbow my go-to.  :banghead:

All I have now are two Martin Visions but I'm about to change that. I want a take down recurve.

My favoties are my McCullough "Griffins". I enjoy hunting and just shooting them.

Been shooting recurves for about 15 years now, mostly a GN superghost, going to have to vote for aggresive longbow though, new Javaman Tanjavur has spoiled me, just love to shoot it. Will be my go-to bow for some time, it just shoots so well for me, smooth, fast, hits where I'm looking, and the grip is perfect for me.  Todd

I have both recurves and longbows,but my goto bow is without my Predator Custom Classic. I enjoy shooting my longbows, but, for some reason I just can't get the accuracy from them that I can with a recurve. I also like my Martin Dreamcatcher  :campfire:
