IMO, probably not too much difference, unless you have an abnormally long draw.

Herb would probably tell you 60.  He is not a big advocate of bows longer than 60.

I'd go with the shorter one for a hunting bow.

I use a 58" and a 56". With no problems. I think he would recommend a 58 or 60". (I pull 26"). Pronghorns don't lose power or cast when they are shorter.

J.A.
My trad drawlenght is 26".  I have a 1-piece 62" Pronghorn, 51 lbs.  I'm very happy with this bow and really feel that a 62" is the perfect length for me (smooth shooting, accurate and easy to hunt with.)  Best of luck in your decision.  Either way, you will have a top quality bow.
