60" for my go to predator. Although I do have vintage bear bows that are 64-66" and they are very smooth. I also hunt a lot with my okay and surprisingly I do not notice a different in accuracy between that and any of my longer ones. If anything I shoot that bow more accurately.

I shoot 56", 60", & 64" Bear TDs. 60" & 62" one piece bows. The "B" riser & #3 limbs @ 45#s I shoot the very best.

I shoot a 25" aluminum Sky ILF riser called the advantage it is made for short draw people like me.  No deflex in riser so limbs seem to bend more.  Anyhow
I find it is extremely easy to shoot in archery league and I am seriously thinking of using the bow for hunting.  26" draw 66-68" bow  45#.

I bounce around between 56" (Browning Wasp) and 66" (Red Wing Presentation II).  My all time favorite is 62" Browning Explorer, but I frequently hunt with 58" recurves.  I find that a good compromise length.

I draw a full 29-1/2"
