Re: Recurve, Longbow, Deflex/ Reflex bow nomenclature.
Hybrid in archery is not used in it's literal meaning, same as "instinctive" isn't, remember that one. :lol: It is used to describe a bow that has both longbow and recurve characteristics within it's design, same as a Hybrid car runs on petrol and electricity. Best of both worlds just like...

Re: Recurve, Longbow, Deflex/ Reflex bow nomenclature.
That would be a Cari-bow wolverine with the Diamond series riser. Manufacturer calls it a longbow and they make awesome bows and really know their stuff.

Re: Recurve, Longbow, Deflex/ Reflex bow nomenclature.
Afternoon Daryl. ... We know that the limb profile description Deflex/Reflex has been around for a long time so at what stage does it mystically become a hybrid. The term hybrid is a load of advertising garbage being used by manufacturers to sell more bows. Can you enlighten us and in twenty words ...

Re: Want to buy 2 Fixed blade knives with sheaths
Thanks Nephew , schrade knives aren't what they used to be either, outsourced to china now and have heard a lot of bad feedback about them. which is very disappointing. American made schrade knives are very sought after now.

Re: Recurve, Longbow, Deflex/ Reflex bow nomenclature.
:roll: this is quite the argument, but as most of us are members of Trad gang, Trad archers, leatherwall and the like where these bows are always referred to as R/D hybrid longbows, which on here we are being told to refer to as D/R bows, not a longbow, not a hybrid and also not a recurve ????? :con...

Re: Recurve, Longbow, Deflex/ Reflex bow nomenclature.
same could be said for the clubs/ organisations though, perhaps if they all used the same standards and set of rules the confusion and disagreements would be less.

Re: Recurve, Longbow, Deflex/ Reflex bow nomenclature.
It's a bit like you can't drive a modified vehicle from NSW in Queensland, we all know how stupid it sounds when road rules and regs vary from state to state, same thing here, which is a reason for not wanting to join a club, I feel the politics would take away from the "fun" that I have w...

Re: Recurve, Longbow, Deflex/ Reflex bow nomenclature.
Nomenclature will vary from club to club, I don't see the issue with calling a flat laid bow a longbow, a R/D (on this site) or more commonly known as a D/R hybrid longbow just that, and a recurve a recurve, we all know what is being referred to :roll: , as for the club/ association rules all having...

Re: Laminated Bow info.
I just prefer the oven as I have read somewhere that if epoxy is going to fail it will do so at higher temps than cured at, not sure if true but was a decider for me.
