If I'm hunting with a recurve I want SHORT.  Otherwise I'll take a longbow.  58" or less for me.
62" Super D, 47#s @ 25-1/2"
58" TS Mag, 53#s @ 26"
56" Bighorn, 46#s @ 26.5"

years ago I would have said 62 but the bows are much better designed and built now so you can get one a little shorter that will still fit a longer draw so I went with 60

Only recurve I own besides the Bingham's bow I built, is a 50" Ambush by Two Tracks.  It's an awesome little powerhouse.

Have both 60 and 62". Both have pluses but chose the 62" in the poll due to smoothness. 28" draw length.

I like the longer lengths. 62" is the minimum I will go.

60" for all around...blinds, stands, brush, etc.... but that being said rest of mine are 62, 64 for modern recurves...and 56-58 for vintage Brownings....I am slow learner but my 60" Robertson has to be the best all around I have ever shot.

I like the 58" Grizzlies.  I think you should have had a few more lower length categories.

I voted for 60". I tend to shoot better with a 60" recurve than with any other length.
