What type and length bow do you prefer to hunt with ?

[Pine]

This is a curious thing for me . What type and length of bow do you like for hunting ?

[Pine]

I will add , I understand the hunting situation so , let's say a tree stand and or ground blind .
I like short recurves for stand hunting but I like a longbow for still hunting .
So let's see how this plays out .
Thanks for your input .

Hard to fit my answer into your post.  I like a 56" recurve.  Your choice is over or under 56".

I typically prefer to shoot as short a bow as possible that I shoot well.Its very convenient for almost any situation you might find yourself in.Like still hunting,stalking,Thick cover on the ground,treestands with narly limbs,ground blinds etc.I like the limb clearance and maneuverability.

I have killed quite a few animals with longer bows though.So I have nothing against them.Except when the limb bumps something.That a shorter bow would have cleared.I use saws and pruners with longer bows when necessary to get total freedom of movement.

Longbows 66"-68"

I like 60" recurves and 62-64" longbows

I prefer recurves however the length issue was a bit tougher. While part of me still really wants another KMag I've decided to run with the Grizzly and look for another one as well so over 56" for me - for now anyways!

52 and 60 inch hunting bows. 63 and 64 inch target bows.

Since I only have one bow and it is a 60" recurve I guess I am in the over 56" crowd. I didn't have readers on and tapped the under on the poll, so it is off by one.

I tend to just grab whatever bow my mood of the day indicates...I have a number of bows that I shoot about equally well and hunt ready...I am mostly a still hunter just because that is what I enjoy doing

[Car54]

R/D LB's ...64" to 66"...I have a long draw.
