I never had a problem with any recurve with my 29.5 inch draw, But longbows a different matter. I was talked into a 60" St. Joe River longbow and absolutely LOVE it! smooth, fast, forgiving, and Accurate! When you get into shorter bows for longer draws I think design of the bow makes a huge difference for forgiveness and accuracy. The St. Joe River bow has a wide limb, and forward handle, a reflex deflex limb but is designed that when strung takes on the shape and forgiveness of a string follow bow. I have been extremely impressed with this bow!
