I've shot compounds and recurves and can barely hit a barn at 30 yards.The longbow would probably be my preferred way if i could get on with it,(never owned one but i've always wanted to).If i could get on with one i would take the bow over the crossbow.
i was lucky, given the price of a decent crossbow, i managed to find a decent longbow at a sunday market( i dont think the guy knew much about bows) for a paultry £25! so i went for that and wooden arrows rather than a crossbow....also i have an air rifle so i wanted something different to something that looks similar to a rifle!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
