WOW, where to start?
Recurves, like longbows, have an individual feel to them. Some draw smooth, some load weight late in the draw etc. Grip shape, riser mass, and center cut are three very important things to consider in your decision.
Like you, I have primarily shot longbows for many years. This year I started shooting my Quinn Stallion a lot more and hunted with it last fall. It was one of my best seasons ever. Great bow speed and very easy to shoot.
This stared me looking for a good custom recurve to hunt with. What I found is that there are a LOT of great bows available right now. I have shot over 25 different bows before deciding on what I liked best. Of those 25 bows, 20 of them would have made me proud to own and hunt with them. I ordered my choice based on conversations with the bowyer and shooting his bows. They fit me perfectly, the price was great, and his delivery time was good.
Shoot as many as you can and see what FEELS best to you. If it feels right, you will like to shoot it a lot and will get good with it. Enjoy the search. If I can be of any help PM me and I can tell you a little about some of the bows that I have shot.
