force,  I have a 64" HH bow that shoots well for me with a 29.5" draw.  You should be OK with a 62" at your draw.  String angle becomes the biggest factor in percieved stacking.  They're not called "long"bows without reason.

Are you willing to give up what you are; to become what you could be?

I have a 62" Monarch Imperial, also have a 29" draw.
The bow is 80#@29 and I absolutely love the way it shoots. No problems with finger pinch and I shoot it just as well as my 66" Imperial and 66" Wes Wallace Royal.
If you need the 62" to shoot from tighter spaces I don't see where you will have any ill effects by doing so.
The 62" bow is my preferred length for hunting whether shooting a longbow or recurve. The only exception would be my 60" Bear Kodiaks and a 58" Damon Howatt.

I draw 28" with a Hill style longbow grip and prefer 66" minimum. The Hill design is great at longer lengths. I think a 62" bow may work for you but will not be as smooth drawing as a longer Hill.

Good luck on your new Hill, I have a 66" Hill Cheetah that I just love.

I've had several 60" Hills and loved them, but then, I have a shorter draw.   For hunting from a blind, I think 62" would be a great choice for a normal draw.  They get a bit quicker with the shorter length, too.

I hunt out of trees and blinds with a 64."
