I have a Wes Wallace B-model Mentor. 15" riser as well as the main stay Mentor at 19". I have both risers and can use any of my limbs for either riser. My draw is about 271/2". I had a friend shoot my bow with a slightly longer draw at just over 29". He told me at his draw length it was stacking. I picked up the bow and over drew to about 29" and felt what he was saying. What I'm eluding to is I believe Wes's 58" setup would work well for you if it started to stack at 30" as it would be like having a silent clicker to let you know your at full draw, a consistent anchor? This has helped me shoot mine with very pleasing results. You need Wes's 62" limbs with his b-model riser. The working limbs of a 62" bow in a small package. My 56" is wicked fast!! The specs of my B-model Mentor are 56" 61#@28", Carbon Express Heritage 250, 625 gr.. Very smooth and confidence inspiring. I think it may work for you and worth a try. I love mine so much that if I were asked if I could have only one bow, this one would be it, does everything about as good as anything. I know the 56" would be too short for you though.
3 Wes Wallace Recurves,
2 original Mentors & 1 B-Model Mentor
3 Wes Wallace Longbows
1 Dwyer Defiant "Legolas"

Centaur, Big Jim Thunderchild, Shrew, Dwyer Endeaver and lots more just keep asking and looking.

OH yea Big Jim is about 6'5 300lbs and his arms are as long as i have ever seen and he shoots his Thunderchild with no problem.

I shoot a new Bear Super Grizzly. It is 55@28 and I too have a 30" draw. Does not stack for me at all. Overall it is a great production bow.

I've shot a few Ambush recurves (including Mike's) and they do perform. I'm  more of a longbow guy, but I release at 31.25" so I know what it's like to shop for a short bow with a long draw.

If I were looking for a really short recurve, the Ambush would be the first bow I'd be looking at.

Sounds like there are tons of bows with no stack at 30 inches that are 56 and under. Its a testiment to the great bowyers we have today.

Well brutha Steve... you think i should pull "Flipper" off the wall and build more limbs for it?

That's a 48" RC desin.... Stringing it wasn't a problem. KEEPING a string on it was....   :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:    

That bow has been hanging on the wall for over 3 years now, and I've never laid up a second set of limbs for it.   :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:

flipper would work but He's an icon that reminds one of another day. You probably couldn't build Flipper today if you wanted too.

God bless you all, Steve

Oh... Flipper sounds like a very bad name for a recurve. The string end up on the wrong side of the bow after the shot?
