I agree with the previous responses. Just by drawing back different bows, you could rule out some because they will just not feel good compared to others. If a store does not even let you do that then go somewhere else. You really need to shoot them to get the true feel of the bow. Try to find a archery shop with a range, tell them your situation and hopefully they will help you get into a bow that you will enjoy. Also, if you will be shooting using a string loop on the bow string, you can probably shoot a 30 inch draw. Again you would need to draw a bow back with it and a release to know for sure. Good luck.
