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...

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 :wink: , schrade knives aren't what they used to be either, outsourced to china now and have heard a lot of bad feedback about them. :cry: which is very disappointing. American made schrade knives are very sought after now. :wink:

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...

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...
