Heck no.  It's an angora rabbit.  He likes REALLY small bows!   >:D
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

A short recurve is good if you are going to spend much time in a tree stand.

Stands scare me.... and I cant imagine actually leaning over to clear the bow limbs to shoot. I stick my butt on the ground. By the way, I like a deflexed bow with tips reflexed to the point the string almost touches but not quite.
Tread softly and carry a bent stick.

  My best hunting bow so far was a modified mollie, about .  Slight reflex/deflex, 68", crowned back about 2" wide, heat treated 60/40 limb proportions, small shelf, 52 lbs at 29", 3/8" wide tips.  It just pointed and shot perfectly.
