Depending upon your draw length, the Grizzly may just be too short for you - i've seen 58" bows stack after 28" of draw or less. I have three recurves and they are all silky smooth but my draw is 27" and they are 60's and 62's. Short longbows can be tough to draw as well. I have a 62" and 64" longbow and the 62" feels harder to draw. If you want a very smooth draw then go with the longer recommended length bow for your draw length. There are several good longbows on the market including hybrids which shoot more like a recurve than a longbow. Best advise is to find a few and shoot them - if you can't then stick with long time bowyers such as Monarch, Dwyer, Robertson, Pronghorn, etc for longbows and Tomahawks, Black Widow, Arcadia Tree Sticks, Robertson, etc for hybrids. As for draw weight, if your comfortable with 50# then stick with it - that's plenty for deer and similar size game. Mine are 53# for deer and 62# for elk. Just me $.02 worth. Good luck and let us know what you get.
