If I'm hunting with a recurve I want SHORT.  Otherwise I'll take a longbow.  58" or less for me.

years ago I would have said 62 but the bows are much better designed and built now so you can get one a little shorter that will still fit a longer draw so I went with 60

Only recurve I own besides the Bingham's bow I built, is a 50" Ambush by Two Tracks.  It's an awesome little powerhouse.

Have both 60 and 62". Both have pluses but chose the 62" in the poll due to smoothness. 28" draw length.

Gotta be 58" and under for me. Do all my shooting sitting on my butt.  :banghead:

I like the longer lengths. 62" is the minimum I will go.

60" for all around...blinds, stands, brush, etc.... but that being said rest of mine are 62, 64 for modern recurves...and 56-58 for vintage Brownings....I am slow learner but my 60" Robertson has to be the best all around I have ever shot.

Ron,

I thought your go to bow was a Habu.

I like the 58" Grizzlies.  I think you should have had a few more lower length categories.

I voted for 60". I tend to shoot better with a 60" recurve than with any other length.

Looks like us 66" or longer recurve shooters are taking a beating in this poll.
