Post by: soap creek on June 12, 2024, 05:36:14 AM: Always shot recurves in the 60-64 in range. Started shooting a 56in Bear A handle take down a few years ago. I've not noticed any difference in how I shoot. Never thought it would happen, but now my preferred bow is 56in.

Post by: cacciatore on June 12, 2024, 12:28:01 PM: Most of my bows are 58” but I like 60” for more open terrain or 56” for tight spots.

52" for me. Can shoot in tight places and especially sitting in a hunting stool. :archer:

I just got a 52" Cascade. I pull it right to its limit at 30", but it sure is fun to shoot!

Post by: socalmonster09 on June 12, 2024, 06:44:44 PM: Right now I shoot a 58" it's my first bow that I bought,
I would like to find a 60" I'm very happy with the bow that
I shoot now but would like to see how much difference the
2" feel in shooting. don't go there :laughing::biglaugh:

Had an old Indian Archery 60 inch bow and some other old bows here and there that I don't remember, but all I own now are 62 inch when it comes to recurves.
