You bet, Joseph!
I started out with a Ben Pearson compound: long and accurate shooter. Then I moved up to an 85# Fred Bear tricked out with a peep and sight pins. I'd do 7:8 hits on 1 pint milk cartons at 60 steps.
But I chucked it all for a modern... diplex, is it called? Not exactly a long bow (it has a bit of recurve) and not exactly a recurve (the limbs are much narrower). It's much lighter than any compound and shoots very smoothly (some longbows have a nasty feel in the holding hand) and quietly and launches my 31" 2213s (yeah, almost logs!) at 212fps. I'm using a split-finger tab (I tried three-under searching for a different anchor point; it didn't work for me.) and really enjoy moving around with very little, light weight equipment. Flu-flus with judo points, fiberglass with barbs: they're all a delight! Best of all: my bow case is a fishing rod tube! Yeah, I get some looks...
One disadvantage, though: I can tell that the arrows don't settle down until 15 steps. Groups at 20 through 30 steps are tighter than those under 15.
PALongbow, good luck with that turkey. I'll bet taking a tukey on the ground with a bow is *tough,* especially in the spring when they're all spread out. Art, you're a wildman! Pound any drums, did ya? I knew a guy who lived in a teepe. Year-round. In northern Arkansas. He was into Bosadev, some god of the forest. His big trick was running through the forest. At night. As fast as he could. Hoping Bosadev would keep him safe from collisions with trees. I'm not sure he avoided 'em all...
