Velocity Test: Recurve vs Longbow, both 45#

I wouldn't expect anything other than that result. A one piece longbow vs an ILF isn't exactly an apples to apples comparison.
 
Bought a custom,60" Bob Lee TD longbow a few years ago.... 47#'s
Vs
A Handle Bear Kodiak TD,60" with exactly the same poundage on our scale.

Shot,side by side through our chrono. They were in effect the same speed.... +- a cpl FPS. The Bear had old(user) limbs with new micarta tips,running FF.
