I'll give you an example of stacking. I've got a 32" draw also, and I'm intimately acquainted with the problem.

I had a mass produced bow that was 45 lbs at 28". It gained 2.5 lbs per inch of draw until it hit 30". Then it suddenly started gaining 5 lbs per inch. It drew 50 lbs at 30", but 60 at 32.

The problem with stack isn't so much it's harder to draw but in performance. I pulled 60 pounds with that bow but those last 10 pounds are packed into the last 2" of draw, where each 10 pounds before was spread out across 4" of draw. What happened was those last 10 pounds only had 2" of power stroke to work with, and that keeps you from being able to take advantage of the extra poundage. So, I wound up with a 60 pound bow that shot just like a 50 pound bow.

I bought a custom recurve made to draw 55 lbs without stack to 32". It shot so much faster and was so much more comfortable with less wear and tear on me... I never bought another mass produced bow.

Some custom bows I've had good results with.

Recurves: Brackenbury Legend. Bighorn Custom TD (out of business but is worth looking for on the used market). ChekMate Kings Pawn Special (I can highly recommend this bow as a low cost, top quality bow).

All these recurves are 64" to 68" long. At 32" draw with a recurve, you really don't want to go much shorter than 64" if you want to keep away from stack.

Longbows: Robertson Stykbow. Saxon Mongoose. 21st Century. Massey Longhorn (out of business, but well worth looking for used). Bill Stewart MultiCam (another that's out of business and very rare on the used market.) Dan Quillian Bamboo Longhunter.

Those are all 68" reflex/deflex design longbows. If a straight limb longbow suits your fancy, Howard Hill Big Five/Wesley Special. I'd got with one 72" long.

As to which is 'better', recurve or longbow, that's a very personal bit of business. Most people seem to shoot recurves better, but not everyone. Even though I absolutely love longbows, I've always shot a recurve much better. On the other hand, I know guys who can't hit the broad side of a barn with a recurve... from INSIDE the barn! But they shoot lights out with a longbow. Frankly, I can't see how any man can keep house without at least one of each.
