I have a quick question on my compound I had a draw length of 31". So what am I really looking at in a longbow or recurve?

Not Sure, Have You got a Local Archery Shop that might be able to Help you Out? Usually, the Drawlength, depending on Poundage, gets a Tad Shorter.

Thanks for your service and welcome aboard! You will probably lose a couple of inches on your draw length when you make the move to a trad bow. A whole different shooting style. You are gonna love it.

Welcome, TX
I'll bet your three inches shorter. I wouldn't worry it too much, just work on form. Maybe a month from now, measure and you'll have a better idea.
Trads will show up, just keep reading.
