When I hunt a tree stand, ground blind or sit with my Ghillie suit on I shoot best with a recurve. For me it is better for the planned shot at standing game like deer.

For quicker shooting on fast shots at things like rabbits, I seem to shoot my R/D longbows better. I prefer them for stalking hunts on hogs, javalina and the like.

I have pheasant hunted a few times with my bows and the one Hill style Martin ML-10 I have is the best for shooting at fast jumping targets on the wing.

Had to pick the take-down recurve the way the poll was worded, but each of the bows I have is a tool tailor made for a specific job, or hunting situation.

Would have been a recurve, but then a couple of Kanati's moved in.......

Been killing recently with my HH "Wild Boar" but just received a new TD HH "Redman" that will be my go to bow this year. Need a little blood on my "Redman" so it won't feel out of place when resting with my other Hill bows.  :archer2:

A couple months ago I would have to say my Morrison Shawnee recurve. But as of late, I have to side with my Shawnee with longbow limbs on it.
