recurve question

I can build the Talon 11 in a 58 that will go 30 in easily with very little finger pinch. I believe you would like the 60 or 62 better but the 58 will do it.
God bless you and good luck, Steve

Don't worry too much about absolute length of the bow.  There are MANY bows that are under 60" that work well with a long draw.  What really counts is how the bow works for you.  Try as many bows as you can.

I very much agree with that!

While shooting this evening, I happened to notice that I had more arrow sticking off the shelf than I used to.  I had my son mark the arrow while I was at full draw, and I'm between 28-29 inches now, which surprised me, since I always shot 30" when I shot compound.  Guess I shortened up a bit on the long bow.

It is very common to draw a trad bow around 1.5" LESS than you draw your old wheelie bow.
