Put an ad in the classifieds here for an inexpensive set of ILF limbs. If you draw 27" or less, shorts will be fine for you, 27-29 then mediums, over 29" go with longs. As set of wood and glass limbs can be had for a $100 or less, new from $150-$200 usually.

Good idea. Done.
Is the shorts/ medium/ longs because of finger pinch or is it so as to not stress the limbs?

An ILF attachment is different than the standard DAS attachment.  ILF limbs can be had new for around $100 on up to $600, depending if you want carbon, foam cores and such.  Here are a few you might want to check out if you don't want to put a whole lot into limbs at the moment.

The T-Rex limbs are made for the riser you have and the poundages are marked for a 23" riser.  Some of the others are marked for a 25" riser.  With those, add 2# of draw weight for a 23" riser.

Even with shorts you will have a 64" bow.You won't have finger pinch unless you have a very long draw.I think it is more a stability issue.
