I shot a 56" at etar and I draw 29 and it didnt pinch a bit.  They are super nice too.  I was super impressed.

Drewsbow on Tradgang is shooting a 56" TC and he draws way past 30"

BigJim has a 31" draw and he shoots a 56" TC if I remember correctly

I shoot a 56" TC @ 27" draw , so a 58" @ 28 should be no problem. I love mine and it is the only bow I now hunt with.

I shot a 56 or 58" TC at TBOF a couple weeks back with no pinch at all (28.5-29"s).  Great shooting little bow.

Often times, finger pinch can be a form issue. If you learn to take a deep hook and keep it until you hit anchor, it may aleviate the problem.

I used to subconciously roll my fingers out as I drew to anchor. I was basically anticipating my release. It would grind the flesh of my finger in to the back of my fingernail. Very painful and would affect my shooting after awhile (didn't matter what length bow I shot).

I finally realized what I was doing and corrected it by completing my draw to anchor while maintaing a deep hook. I no longer have any problems and routinely shoot my 56" TC out to 31"s. I would suggest however for draw lengths of 30" and longer to choose the 58".

I draw 31", and shot a 58" TC AT Compton this year.  It was a great little bow and I didn't notice any finger-pinch.
