I'm 6'2" and have a 29.5" draw. I have tried shorter bows, about 6 in all. I definitely have to adapt myself to a shorter ATA. With a 36" or longer bow, everything just falls into place like I'm comfortable with. I know that this is mainly what I have learned to shoot comfortably. I can draw and anchor without any conscious thought, and it feels right. With the shorter bow, I either have to use a peep sight, or a kisser button instead of letting the string touch my nose. I can do it, but have to think about it. If I shot a shorter bow for a couple of years straight, it probably would become second nature, but i haven't been willing to make the switch. I know a lot of guys who shoot the shorter bows quite well. It is mainly personal preference in my case.
