I have both and have shot both. I blew out my elbow back in Nov and can't shoot a bow at all. Please just enjoy what you shoot. I have always shot trad and now I can't shoot anything. I have had surgery and may be able to shoot again in a year or two or never. It is a pure pleasure to shoot so just enjoy the moment and appreciate each arrow and make each arrow count no matter whay bow you enjoy shooting.

I shot the Horne Brushbow and ordered one immediately. I paid for the Brushbow with the money I got when I sold my Blacktail Recurve and Black Widow Recurve.

Now I own two Horne T/D Brushbows and am going to order a Maddog Mutt in a lighter weight.

I love the R/D longbows.

Yes, you will love the longbow, but hang on to the recurve. You will from time to time still enjoy shooting it. I have hunted exclisively with the long bow since the 90's, but still take out the recurve now and again and fling a few arrows. Its all good!

I'm with you Widowbender!!

I just shoot some better than others and the ones I shoot best happen to have longer straighter limbs.
 
They seem to forgive my mess ups better than the shorter limbed recurves.

But I still enjoy shooting all kinds/styles of bows.

God bless,Mudd

68" is a good "minimum" length, {N/N}, for a 28" draw. 69-70" are about the cat's meow. Especially with the hunting weight Hill bows.
