I draw 32.5" and shoot a 66" Widow PL.

I shoot a 68" bow with a 31" draw, smooth draw, no stack. IMO if you have a long draw keep the bow long, just makes sense!

I just got off Tomahawk bows website and they recommend the longest draw to be used with a 62" bow is 29". I don't think the extra inch will cause limb failure like I said earlier but you might get some finger pinch.

I draw 30.5" and I definitely prefer 66" longbows. I have shot the same models in 62" and 64" but I shoot the longer bows much better.

I would recommend getting longer limbs.

Guys,
Thanks for all the information.  I recieved the bow and I had been waiting a long time for a used Woodland Hunter to show up (just couldn't pull the trigger on $800.00) and I am definitely feeling the last inch and getting some finger pinch.  If this bow would have been 64" it would have a permanent home.  The bow is beautiful and has great flat grain camo pattern.  The Woodland camo has changed alot since the first days of making this style of bow.  If anyone wants to trade a 62" 55@28" for a 64" let me know.
