Looper I would get one of the new 66" Whips, I also draw 31" and had a 64" and it was a little short for my taste.  Good luck...Shawn

I draw 29" and like the 64"

You can get Dan on the phone pretty easy. It'd be worth chatting whith him about it.

I draw 29" and shoot a 60".  That being said....my next one will be 62-64" as I feel the 60" might be stacking on me a little. I think you'd be good with at least 64"....but give Dan a call, he'll have the right advice.

The 64" would work fine. A friend has a long draw length and got the 64" and loves it.

yeah he does (love it)... I think I'm the friend and I draw 31 with a 64". Dan said it would be good and it is. Of course the 66 would work great too. I shot a 62 at western states and it was even OK but the 64 is better.
The craziest thing was he had me draw one of his recurves.. can't remember which one but it was a 58 inch recurve and i drew it all the way back to 31 smooth as butter... bought a whip though but that recurve is always on my mind.

I would second calling Dan.  That said I have a 64 inch for sale on the trad bow page.  I draw 30 and a bit, 64 is no worries for me, I believe 31 would be fine.

I second Yellow Dog.  Though my conversations with Dan suggest his goal with all Montana Bows is to have no stacking up to 32".

Currently have his 64" and really it is no smoother to draw than the 60" I previously owned, but I draw 28".

Butter,
