Default Looking for recurve advice & opinions...

I haven't bow hunted for 20 years but I've got the bug real bad to get back into it.

I'm making plans to buy a bow and wanted some opinios on a few things.
I haven't keeped up with the latest gadgets or the latest technolgy.

It has to be a TD recurve,It has to look good and shoot as good or better than it looks. I'm not a speed freak,smoothnes,quiteness and accruacy are for more important to me.

These are the bows I have in mind. With Blacktail being the first choice. I know about the reputation of Black Widows & Bob Lee bows and they are in consideration. But what about these two guys? Does anyone have any experience with either one of them?

Most of my hunting will be wild hogs and coyotes. I'm thinking of a
#50-#55 bow weight. What I don't know is what riser length to choose,and what bow length. And what about all the limb choices,does one wood have an advantage over an other? I like the Red Elm and Bocote as far as cosmetics goes but what about Bamboo is it a better limb material?

I will probably use sights also so what is the minimal sight window I should look for if I want to use a 3 or 4 pin sight?

Thank you for your input
