There are lots of recurves 62" and longer--check with 3 Rivers, Kustom King, Lancaster, etc. ILF bows are getting very popular.

I've had no problems with the Sage, but I haven't shot one on a regular basis (I prefer my longbow).

Norm at Blacktail prefers longer bows, but like anyone else opinions vary. If you were to read up on Shrew, Black Forrest, Centaur, etc. you'd find they offer pretty short bows for longer draws.

As far as the draw weight, see what is legal for where you hunt. 45# is more than enough to get a pass-through on a deer. Just be sure you get a weight you are comfortably in control of.
