Knowing that everyone has different tastes, what is your favorite style of bow?.... Hill style, recurve, hybrid, self,.....ETC.
Hill style is my personal favorite, but i cant be content with just one style, I shoot and enjoy them all.   :campfire:

1 pc. R/D Longbows that are light in mass and about 60" upper 40's to low 50's in draw weight.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

I like one-piece bows nowadays. I like the light weight of them, which is a complete opposite of what I used to like. If I were to shoot only 3D and target archery, I would probably opt for the heavier 3-piece takedowns. But for hunting and all around use, I like the lighter weight one-piece bows, be it recurve or forward-handle, R/D longbows.

American semi-longbows for me. Just something elegant and classic about them.

My 56" Big Jim Thunderchild 2pc #1 because it's so handy in tight spots and blinds...  a close runner up in my 60" 2pc Big Jim Buff and both travel real well    :bigsmyl:

Flatbows.  Shot GN Bushbows for years; recently ordered a Jackknife Lil Creep and liked it so much I traded a Bushbow for a second Creep as backup.  Perfect bow for me; short , light, quiet and stable, and the Jackknife takedown can't be beat.

WESTBROOK

Longbows, 1 piece, I shoot'em all from 56" Shrew Classic Hunter to 68" Northern Mist straight limb and some mild D/R bows.

Not much for the 3 piece bows, just too much wood to haul around, they sure are pretty though.

If I got a recurve it would a 50's style like a Ghost or somethin'

Prefer one piece longbows, at least 64" or more, in love with Hills and ELB's, and pretty much any D bow.  Don't mind a good r/d either.

I like them all, but mostly a moderate deflex/reflex longbow, like a Robertson or a GN Critter Gitter, 62" for my 26" draw.  I would like to try a 62" Centaur.
