It should. Pull it back to 32 and find out

Not familiar with the Martin Venom but if it is a R/D longbow, it should handle it.  The more R/D it haves the smoother it will do it.  Straight limbed.....probably not without stacking.

I pull 32" myself and shoot a 66" high R/D longbow and it is smooth several inches past my anchor if I want to pull it that far.

Just googled it.  From the pic, I'd say the design would likely allow it.  The riser looks longer than some longbows which reduces working limb length a bit but there is quite a bit of R/D in the limbs.

The ML 12 (Vision) is very smooth at a 32" draw.
