I have a 62" Horne Hunter Recurve, 48# @ 28", carbon/boo core.
Since i have been changing my form lately, i now seem to draw closer to 30".
Im 6' but with a huge "gorilla-factor" arm span is 6'4", been practicing and working up form with a lighter longbow, thats 68", and that doesnt like 30" draw much, it shows on the wood.
Can i pull this glass bow to 30.5"?

Probably best to check with the builder.  A 62-inch recurve should be able to handle that length draw though.  Why are you thinking of lengthening your draw even more?

Quotelengthening your draw even more  
Im not, just havent figured out exactly how far im pulling. Just that the 29.5" arrows are too short, and the 32" ones are good.
After years of reading about it, i can actually feel back tension.

You will probably gain about 3 pounds per inch of draw. But at some point the limbs will start stacking more rapid. At that length bow you should be fine with a draw weight of about 54#.
