If you're looking for the most addictive, raw and real archery experience, look no further than traditional archery! If you're a beginner and looking for a more accurate and easier to shoot traditional bow we recommend the traditional recurve bow. Traditional recurve bows also tend to have more of a "point & shoot" feel which can create a more enjoyable experience for advanced shooters and beginners alike. However the traditional longbow may tend to distribute the pulling weight over a greater area of the limbs creating a unique and more raw archery experience vs. recurve bows that can be more forgiving and very enjoyable for archers of all experience levels.
Traditional longbows and recurves contain an element of instinct-driven shooting that no other compound bow can ever achieve. When it comes to accuracy, both traditional longbows and recurve bows are equally accurate to shoot with practice. It is important to remember that it's all about an archers skill level, but when you choose Damon Howatt, you elevate the entire experience!
