So, I've been debating jumping into the trad world for some time now.
I really like the "looks" of R/D longbows as opposed to recurves. With today's new longbows, is there really any disadvantage to those vs. a recurve? I've shot a longbow and a hoyt target recurve, but they were years apart and I can't really remember any significant difference other than a longer twang on the recurve maybe?
I know of a few manufacturers for bows (Stalker, Tall Tines, Striker, Others?...). Just don't know if it makes a little more sense being new to it to get a more "off the shelf" mass production model to get started or just jump in with both feet and get a good one?
