Bow hunting, should I go recurve, compound or crossbow

I have a friend who is a dedicated bow hunter – makes his own arrows even and talks about getting the flex-in-flight right. His preference is the longbow because, he says, it is quieter: you might get a good second shot with a longbow, probably not with any other kind.

Spam reported.

In the interest of original content for this zombie, around here, crossbows are in the category of firearms not bows, so mostly pointless to use unless you want to intentionally cripple yourself.

My apologies if I jumped the [del]gun[/del] bow but appeared that you were posting in multiple old threads and posting product links.

Normally reviving old threads (“zombies”) is frowned upon except on some cases like when actual new information is found. Lots of people (such as the OP here, whatever happened to him?) aren’t around to respond.
