I had a 64" recurve but gave it to my son.  It was too long for me.

64" Black Widow MA II - 54#28

The most stable, quiet and fast bow, which sends one with authority to behold  :)

Only Place I dont use my BW is bowfishing from a canoe, otherwise the lenght of the bow has not been an issue.

Thank you all for your input.  I now wonder why more of us don't shoot longer bows!  I will be buying a 64 inch takedown recurve with two set of limbs.  One set will draw #50 at my 31 inch draw, the other #45 for practice and target work.

This has been very helpful!

I've always favored and considered a 64" a minimum length for my 29.5" draw. Mathematically you get the best of both worlds. I'm about to get a Bear Takedown in a B handle and #3 limbs. I also have a  1973 Bear Grizzly in 58" for blind hunting. I've owned recurve bows up to 70" as well.
