Default RE: Recurve Draw Length

A 58" bow is short to start with unless you have a really short draw--it just won't be as forgiving as a longer bow.

What draw length a bow will handle depends on it's design as much as it's length. I've shot 56" recurves that didn't stack at 30", and I've shot 62" recurves that stacked just past 28".

With your draw length, I'd start out with a 62" or longer. You will probably sacrifice some speed, but it will be easier to shoot.

There are gobs of great bows on the market--look around, ask questions on this one or that one, get out to some shoots and try out different ones. Nobody can pick that perfect bow for you--you have to do it yourself.

Good luck!
