68" longbows here.  No issues from ground or tree stand.

62 to 66" r/d LB's, mostly hunt out of tri-pods & every now and than a popup. I usually cant my bows some.

Had no problems in a tree with my 64" Omega. I was a bit worried the length would create issues before last deer season but that worry was for nothing i had no issues at all.

[Thumper Dunker]

Recurves from 48"-60". Self bows around 62"-64"

My 2 cents isn't worth 2 cents.

[MnFn]

60" seems perfect to me.

[DesertDude]

62" and up

[Stumpkiller]

I have several at 58", many at 60" and one favorite at 62".  All recurves.  Plus one 56" I may take out - but with my just shy of 30" draw it's hard on the fingers for a lot of pre-season practice.

Last three years I have use 58" recurves.

58-62'' with a 28'' draw. Only had an issues once. Tried to shoot sitting down while in the stand. Limb came in contact with a branch. Not sure who jumped more- me or the deer.

At my height I look up to everyone and everything. But not my bow! I like em 56"-58".  

But like others wrote, I don't think it matters much except in most pop-up blinds.

64"

I have no real experience with short bows. All my hunting longbows are 68" long. I hunt mostly from elevated stands. Adapting to these longer bows is not difficult. I have several shorter bows, but I don't hunt with them.

[Cwilder]

I use a 62" recurve with a 30" draw

[cacciatore]

Like you can read in the Black Widow catalog not all the bows are equals a 60" bow with a 15" riser is not the same of a 60" bow with a 19" having different working limbs lenght and less acute angle

[stagetek]

Short bows can be difficult to shoot. You will probably find shooting bows from 58-62" will work just fine for you.

[Pointer]

62" or 64" recurves work best for me with my draw length.

I like stuff long.......60 and up!! My longest is 70"

I'm 5'10" and draw 27-5/8" and I'm all in for my 54" Black Widow KB. Extremely maneuverable and zero issues with interference Treestand or Blind. Smooth and accurate. I have a 60" Black Widow that is smooth as silk & a tack driver when I do my part... 60" gives me fits on higher treestand or short range shots with limb or string interference. I have to do gyrations in the stand to deal with it. I love that bow, but I found a way to not have to deal with it. My 54" KB... Everybody is different in physique & form so this is a personal deal you'll need to balance out for yourself. Target Archery and hunting are not the same. You need to be accurate when it counts, each & every time....
