I haven't shot a long bow in a long time I sure do miss it My favorite two longbows were an English hand made Yew wood that was close to 68" long. It was a real joy to shoot. Second one was a hand made Osage orange longbow that was a gift to me from a well know archer and hunter.
I now shoot only CB's because of severe damage to my hand.

Well, I have this here long bow I took from the indian that tried to kill me with it back in the 1800's. He wanted my flint lock rifle and my dog. Well, it didn't happen, and I sent him on his way with a bullet in his git along, most ricky tick! I ain't shot it in years cause the cat gut string is showing signs of cracking now and besides, the arrow head arrows weight probably 1ooo gms or more. Pretty though, with those eagle feathers for the fletchings. Just thought I'd share.

I have a Martin Dreamcast that I like to shoot from time to time. I bought it a long time ago to prove I could shoot Vertical. I did not do it. I have never hunted with it since I lack the confidence in it. When I shoot at twenty yards I put nine arrows in a four inch circle most of the time, but then I get one flier sometimes, like off by ten inches! So I never took it out figured being in a tree with camo on would only make it worse. I have had a itch to by a fifty pound PSE Coyote and start to play with it. Figured with a different rest like a modern one I could do better, but it is just a back burner idea.

Jason, I have been addicted to shooting a recurve for sometime now. Think shooting birds with a shotgun. It really is the samething. It is instinctive and natural. Just like a shotgun you just look at your target. There are different ways like point-gap shooting, string walking etc but that is how I do it. BTW sounds like you are doing well. If it's just a flyer once in a while then you need repetition. You never have to hunt with it, just have fun!
