i shoot a 56 inch wasp recurve and i shoot a 68 inch longbow. the longbow took some getting used too and the recurve seemed easier to use at first but now i will shoot both effectively. depending on whether you shooting from a tree stand or spot and stalk or even in a ground blind would be what might help in making a decision on which to use. if you own both shoot both they will both do the trick and once you have the bows figured out it;s a lot fo fun shooting both
