Always shot recurves in the 60-64 in range. Started shooting a 56in Bear A handle take down a few years ago. I've not noticed any difference in how I shoot. Never thought it would happen, but now my preferred bow is 56in.

Most of my bows are 58” but I like 60” for more open terrain or 56” for tight spots.

You don't have my favorite on the list.

52" for me. Can shoot in tight places and especially sitting in a hunting stool.  :archer:

I just got a 52" Cascade.  I pull it right to its limit at 30", but it sure is fun to shoot!
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

Right now I shoot a 58" it's my first bow that I bought,
 I would like to find a 60" I'm very happy with the bow that
I shoot now but would like to see how much difference the
2" feel in shooting.  don't go there   :laughing::biglaugh:

62 inch recurves all day long.

Had an old Indian Archery 60 inch bow and some other old bows here and there that I don't remember, but all I own now are 62 inch when it comes to recurves.
