I have a 28" draw.  Longbows = 54" - 66", Recurves = 46" - 58".  Overall favorite is 58".

27.5 draw I shoot recurves from 52 to 62.  58 seems to work best for me.
More bows than I should have!

I still can not get over how smooth that recurve shot Andrew.  Almost got me to convert from a longbow...ALMOST.     :goldtooth:

Mike my poor tuning screwed it up and couldnt get it back to that sweet spot!  I was considering selling it even thought its the best grip Ive ever shot.
