OK...I'm guessing a hybrid is a take-down with both longbow and recurve limbs? You must be talking about that Foley of Creigs? It certainly is a looker. I never did see it shot though.

The hybrids tend to have so much reflex and deflex that they no longer have the crescent shape when strung. They still have a little forward arc to the ends of the limbs. They can be 3 piece of one piece but still show a bit of reflex when strung.

No Randy Bryant built a longbow but it's more like a hybrid, short alot of reflex/deflex.

Thanks, I've seen them..just haven't heard anyone call them "hybrids" before.

I sure hope this doesn't mean we need yet ANOTHER TBoT category.

Don't worry Dusty. Most of the bows you see today have a bit of hybrid in them. Some more than others. My Sierra, Superstition and Blueridge are all hybrid.

Lot's lot's of great info here, I'm leaning this way, less stack..bad shoulder etc..
