Here's an engineering type question: If two bows shoot for example 50#@ 28, the same make and model, and one has 60" limbs and the other 64" limbs, barring the obvious person's height, finger pinch, etc, Are you getting less power from the 64" bow since there would be less flex in the limbs to achieve the same 28" draw? Does this make some sense?

There is discussion about this on some other threads right now. Maybe do a search? The answer appears to be 'no'.
The longer limbs store more energy and will yield more power.
