Yeah much prefer the older traditional one piece bows.
Favourite 3 are recurved long and short/horse which is all generally shoot. Along with a lower poundage short bow to learn to shoot offhand
Mates have lower lbs recurve 2 piece ones ( fibre glass limb removable ). Which realistically are provably better. But there's something about wood and oldschool feel to me that I far prefer. [ plus increased lbs ]
Plus I can punch impressive holes with the longbow hah.
But they're flat out firing 5 arrows through it whereas I can shoot it all day.
I always intended to get a good composite / compound [ always get the the terms mixed up ]. But honestly I prefer the older stuff to much to get much value from one.

Longbow is a Lil over 6 foot unstrung I think.
