How? Shoot some recurves and longbows at an archery shop, and choose the one that puts the biggest smile on your face. You can’t go wrong with either, and it’s simple to decide which one is best for you. Longbows and recurves have advantages and disadvantages. Recurves can be quieted with string silencers and proper tuning. They’re quiet even without string silencers, which further reduce bowstring twang. If you’re in that camp, consider choosing a longbow. Loud bows aren’t less accurate, but some archers prefer shooting quiet bows. Vibrations and bowstring “twang” generate bow noise. Recurves are also the choice of Olympians. Mounted archers, for example, used recurves to conquer Asia. Recurves have their own fascinating history. From ice-age hunters to medieval archers, longbows embody history. Photo Credit: ATAįor classical looks and historical appeal, longbows rule. Traditional archers have their own flair with cool leather quivers and beautiful feather-fletched arrows. Nostalgiaįrom ice-age hunters to medieval archers, longbows embody history. Taller archers, for example, find longer bows smoother to draw than shorter bows. Well-designed longbows can be incredibly smooth, especially if their length matches the archer’s draw length. Recurve bows draw more smoothly, in general, but bow designs play significant roles in how they draw. In contrast, a smooth-drawing bow evenly increases in weight and feels effortless to pull.

A smooth-drawing bow is easy to pull at the start but its draw weight rapidly increases when nearing full draw. Longbows and recurves increase in draw weight as they’re pulled back. These longbows have swept limbs that aren’t as extreme as a recurve’s, but generate similar arrow speeds. Some longbows, however, rival the fastest recurves. Its speed comes from its curved tips, which store more energy than do straight limbs. If you want a fast-shooting bow, consider a recurve.
