I got my first traditional bow in 1981. It was a Doug Kitterage T/D recurve out of a catalog called "The bow hut". I still, at times, miss that bow. Once it becomes part of you it will always be there.
My second one was a Martin Hunter that was 70# recurve. It was too heavy. At least for the length that it was. You call pull comfortably more weight if the bow is longer. A 60" bow will stack on me. 62" is getting close to a stack.
Personally I would recomend a Pronghorn T/D longbow. It's still within reach as far as price and Herb makes a really great bow.
You never want to over-bow yourself. If you want to go heavier you would have no problem pulling 60# if your bow is 64"-66" if your draw is 28" or less.
I prefer a longer bow for many reasons. Draw weight is the last consideration. SMOOTH is my most important consideration. A pronghorn with an Osage riser and bamboo limbs would put you in another realm with practice.
