If you want a point of comparison, I'm 6'6" tall, weigh 350 and have an 82" wingspan. My draw length with a compound is 33 1/2", but only 32" with a recurve. The extra weight at full draw with a stickbow compresses the joints in the wrist, elbow and shoulder and doesn't really let you stretch into the draw like a compound does.

And, at my draw length, that's a good thing. They don't make many raw shafts long enough for me to make stickbow arrows out of, these days.
