I started with a compound and love it. But the more that I like flicking sticks the more I want to experiance. I have recently been kicking around the idea of buying a traditional type bow like a Recurve or longbow to play around with maybe later even hunt with if I get confident with it.

What is the differance is between a long bow or a recurve?

And if I were to buy one do I have to like match up its size to mine, like I am 6'4" do I need a certain length of bow or something. Or is it like a compound just get the draw length and weight you want?
