I own a 60 inch Massie Model M take down recurve and a 62 inch Black Widow take down. They are both great bows with different characteristics. My suggestion is to go to as many shoots as possible, particular those with vendors present, and shoot as many different bows as you can. When you find that special bow, that fits perfectly and shoots like a dream, buy it. Don't walk away because when you go back it will be gone. It happened to me just that way. I still think about that bow and wonder "What if". Good luck in your quest.
