I shoot a 58" for everything but it really depends on the bow design whether it will be comfortable for you and your draw length.

62
I once shot about 6 feet over a 6x7 bull at 20 yards when my upper limb hit a limb above my head.

havnt ever shot a trad bow in a ground blind. but i had no issues hunting my my 66" longbow (RIP) in te thick woods i hunt, also had no issues practicing from my tree stand that has a bar the wraps around it.

that being said 56" was nicer for the woods i hunt.  my bow i have coming is 58"  think that will be the perfect length for me
- Hunterbow 58"  47# @26"
-bear kodiak 60"  45# at 28"

i've had a problem with a 62" longbow inside a double bull blind.  no real issues with 62" up a tree, but some situations can be kinda iffy.  i've got a 58" longbow on order ....

For a recuve I love my 52" Cascade Nighthawk and my 56" Cascade Brushhawk for a longbow. Both are great in tight areas.
