It' s a shame you are getting rid of the Crusader, seeing how they are very good shooting bows. It might be nice having a longbow with the recurve backup. I own a Habu recurve (21 different bows total actually) and have shot bunches of BW. If you haven' t ordered the BW yet, try to get your hands on a Habu before placing your order. They are extremely soft pulling bows, accurate and hit very hard. Take care..............Tom
