What is the difference between a hunting bow and a target bow?
There is actually no real difference between a "longbow" and a "bow", since a longbow is simply a type of bow. There are many types of bows, as used in archery, and each type includes various sub-types: Longbow; Recurved; Flatbow; Shortbow; Reflex/Deflex; Compound; Crossbow; etc. While some people believe that a longbow must be made for the specific height of the particular person who will be using it, the only things that makes a bow a "longbow" are that it is normally (but not always) longer in length (nock to nock) than a recurved bow of a comparable draw-weight; the limbs are normally not very wide when compared to a flatbow of comparable draw-weight; and that when "braced" (when the string is installed on the bow) the string does not touch any part of the bow except at the nocks (the grooves the string sits in at the very ends of the bow's limbs). A "longbow" does not have to be six feet long to be usable by a person who is 6 feet tall. In fact, a "longbow" can technically be almost any length, so long as it meets the above three requirements. The Samick "Raider" Longbow is an example of a longbow that is "short" in length (it is only 60-inches in length), and when un-braced it resembles a recurved bow, due to its Reflex/Deflex design. But when braced, the string touches only the nocks, which makes the bow a Longbow.

What are the disadvantages of using a longbow?
There are a few. Firstly and probably the most profound is the fact that compared to a compound or a recurve the weight that you hold on your draw is that of the bow. A compound you hold virtually nothing and a re-curve you hold 2/3 of the weight. Therefore if you don't hold your bow correctly and you haven't practiced and have the muscle memory going the effects of your shoots will vary. Shooting with the same stance and draw and repeating is the key to consistency with a longbow. However there are great advantages to a longbow. The range on the longbow is far greater than other bows. And the consistency of the power does not drop off during the shot making the shots more powerful over a distance. The first month of shooting is the hardest learning to feel your bow. As a longbowman you will not be able to hold the weight on the string for to long there for instinct plays a huge role feeling your shots. When you release you will get a feeling it will hit the middle and it does you have to train that feeling and it just happens.
