I agree with everything Moebow has to say, except the final sentence. Exceptions make the rule. But with the right arrows (heavy) and broadheads (heavy) you certainly don’t need a heavy bow. So far as longbow vs. recurve, with the advent of deflex-reflex longbow limbs, most of the advantages of the recurve are history, with great little longbows down to 52″ (like Shrew)that don’t stack and are as forgiving as much longer Hill style (straight) longbows, so that mostly it comes down to personal preference.
