I've shot both quite a lot & I draw an honest 29" with a recurve. The Super Mag didn't seem to stack, but it did pinch my fingers a bit. It did need good form or it'd not shoot where I wanted. When I really paid attention it'd shoot well, but if I got sloppy it was hard to hit with. I did like it though. It's an older one & I've retired it.
I used to own a newer "Gainsville" Kodiak Mag. it was 45lbs, & it was a dream to shoot. I only wished I'd gotten it in 50 or 55lbs. It became my go to bowfishing bow. I really did like it & I shot it well. I hunted with it several times, but never did get to take anything but a lot of Carp with it.
My Nephew needed a bow & I gave it to him.
I think you would like the KMag & with a 26" draw I think you'd get along well with it. You might consider getting one 5 lbs heavier than normal because you will loose some weight with the shorter draw. If you shoot say a 45lb bow, I'd consider a 50lb or maybe even a 55 lb bow.
Good luck, if I were you I wouldn't hesitate on the Kodiak Mag. I really liked mine.
