The Child is right. Your draw length will be an inch or 2 less than shooting your compound. My draw length is 30" with a compound, 29" with recurve. A longer bow will accomodate your longer draw length. I shoot a 62" bow with no "stacking". You might get away with a 60" bow if it has long recurves. I used to shoot a 60" Howatt with no stacking. Limb design makes a big difference. A bow with longer, sweeping recurves will not stack as quickly as one with short, abrupt ones.
