What ere your recommandations for max drawlength on an ash board bow? Pyramid cut..

I wouldn't go over 24" even with a bendy handle.  For a rigid handle I wouldn't do more than 22".  But I hate stack and pinchy draws.  I remember a 48" hickory, rigid handle bow drawn to 27" that Mickey Lotz' Bro Randy made and it lived.  He had to have tip over lays to hold the string on.
Take a kid hunting!
