For a while I felt that a 56 inch recurve was the best bow around. I loved the smoothness and the short feel in the woods.
Then I started shooting a 64 inch TD longbow, and I realized what smooth really was! I feel that a longer bow is easier to shoot more accurately. I can hold the longer bows at a more firm anchor and feel the shot a little better.
That being said, there are a lot of very good designs out there that maximize smoothness in the short bow.
For me, I would rather shoot a longer bow and feel more smoothness on the draw. I know my heart can be pounding pretty hard when a buck is walking by.
