It should. Pull it back to 32 and find out

Not familiar with the Martin Venom but if it is a R/D longbow, it should handle it.  The more R/D it haves the smoother it will do it.  Straight limbed.....probably not without stacking.

I pull 32" myself and shoot a 66" high R/D longbow and it is smooth several inches past my anchor if I want to pull it that far.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Just googled it.  From the pic, I'd say the design would likely allow it.  The riser looks longer than some longbows which reduces working limb length a bit but there is quite a bit of R/D in the limbs.

The ML 12 (Vision) is very smooth at a 32" draw.
