Usually a bow maker will indicate what the draw range is for a particular bow. For example, one bow company says that its 58" recurve is meant to have a drawlength in the range of 25-29". If they don't indicate in their advertisements, you can probably call them and ask. Personally, I wouldn't push the extreme end of the range, like a 29" draw for the 58" bow I mentioned. But if you wanted a really short bow and had a 29" draw, you would at least know that the bow maker had tested the bow and found that it didn't begin to stack until somewhere after 29" (maybe it begins to stack at 29 1/4").
