[QUOTE="FOX FIRE, post: 2912868, member: 10129"] I aint familar with long bows at all, all my hands on have been with a recurve. Hand grip : think'n I would rather have one, seems it would offer some advantage in comfort & give it a better feel. Bow length: I do know a longer recurve (62 inches or so) tends to be kind of unhandy in the woods, thers always a limb, twig or briar thats in the way of drawing it back or snags on release, but being on the short and squatty side a 60+ inch bow is nearly as tall as I am. Bum shoulder: be carefull !! depending on your injury I'd stay away from the 60# draw weight, and even the 50 mite be a roll of he dice, if your used to a compound bow your gonna go thru a learning curve anyway so dont over bow yourself, its easy to do. Dig around here for info, mite be a good place to start. [url=http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi]http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi[/url] [/QUOTE]
