Honestly not trying to sound like a smart aleck here, but go with the one that feels/shoots the best to you. For some that is a recurve, for some it's a longbow.

You can generally get a recurve that is shorter than most longbows (the extremely short longbows don't shoot like a longbow to me anyway), and that can be an advantage from a stand or blind. However, I've been hunting with longbows from 64"-70" (66" for the last several years) and the only situation I've seen that I couldn't use my longbow because of the length is in a short pop-up blind. Been through some really thick, nasty stuff with it--maybe Kip will chime in here--we hunted in Northern Ontario together a couple years back and in some places the brush was so thick you literally couldn't see a foot in front of you. Most of my hunting is done in the creek bottoms of MS, and it's pretty messy too--not as thick, but vines everywhere that like to grab onto things. I hunt from both a treestand and ground blind, and intend to use a pop-up blind as well this year.

Good luck,

Chad
