Default RE: short recurve

I'm new here..hope you don't mind my imput.

If you're wanting a short bow with your longer draw length I'd make a couple suggestions. First take notice of the riser/limb ratio. Some bows, even though they may be of longer length, will be difficult to shoot with your draw length. They have a rather lengthy riser section which results in a shorter limb length, that makes a longer draw uncomfortable. Of course, longer limbs and a shorter riser handles longer draw lengths much better. There are trade-offs involved that makes the next suggestion most important

Most importantly would be to shoot the bow, or one like it, prior to purchasing. But, I'm sure you already know that.

good luck
