Default RE: short recurve

The Browning will probably stack, which is loading the weight unevenly, usually increasing at a higher rate per inch of draw, than it normally would at a lesser draw length. The shorter bows, especially the older ones, will also pinch the fingers, which causes release problems, which causes accuracy problems, which causes frustration in the archer, which causes, well, you get the picture. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I'd suggest going with a bow 62&quot; long and even then, some bows just aren't meant to be shot by someone with a draw that exceeds 28-29&quot;. The Martin Hunter is one 62&quot; bow that will stack for a draw exceeding 29&quot;. On the other hand, there are some shorter bows that are designed to be very forgiving to longer draw lengths. Take your time and get a bow that is right for you, your shooting style and needs. You'll be glad that you did.

Make em sharp and shoot em straight, or leave em home.
