i wouldnt recomend it. but the second one is most likely more powerful.

would either of these work for small game, and if so, how close would i have to be to kill anything?

yea i think those would work. if by small game rabbits, squirrels, ect. just make sure to use some sharp broadheads. an i would say at furthest 20 yards.

They might work.I would usually suggest something more around a 35# draw weight to be on the safe side, but with a close, well placed shot, you should be able to take small game.
The recurve would be more powerful if shot at its maximum draw weight, but I would guess that the draw weight depends on what your draw length is.
