Default short traditional bows

New to the forum, and have several questions about using a shorter bow than my current 66inch longbow. I've just begun hunting deer wih trad. equipment in the last couple of years. I have taken 2 whitetail deer with my bow and enjoy shooting a great deal. It's truly become a passion. I have had some trouble shooting out of my climber,blinds and tight spots in the brush and in certain trees. I'm exploring the idea of shooting a shorter bow, although I hate to give up shooting my longbow. my questions: how short can a longbow be? (yes I know it's an oxymoron). Is a shorter longbow less forgiving? A horn bow is very short however I have not seen that many and have only taken one shot with it, not enough to know about how it performs. Then of course I am considering a recurve but have not shot one since I was a teenager and that was "a while ago". Appreciate any advice available

Thanks
