Does anyone with a 29"+ draw shoot one of the "short" longbows?

I have two Ramhorn recurves built by Jim Reynolds (Thunderstick Archery) that are 54" and I have a 29+" draw.  They are great shooters, extremely smooth and fast, but Jim likes to build longbows so you would have to talk with him to see about availability.  I see one in the classifieds ocassionally and am always tempted to scoop it up.  I also have a 58" RER Arroyo that is an outstanding shorter bow.

I've got a 58" Dwyer Endeavor that I have been drawing to 29 and a bit.  No problems stacking, sweet shooting bow.

I'm about 29 3/4" and I shot a 56" Timberhawk just fine and it was comfortable.  I had a 58" Morrison Dakota that I shot well, but it wasn't quite as comfortable as I originally thought.  Still a good bow and I didn't have finger pinch, but I feel I'm better off with 60" and above.

I pull 30" and the smallest non-recurve I have is 60"x72lbs pull(Lot of finger pinch). I can shoot it but it isn't as much fun as my 66 or 68" bows are. Now in recurves,I have shot one as small as 52" with not as bad of finger pinch. Haven't had one blow up on me yet in all the years I have been shooting.

I got my 58" Kanati and have been shooing it some. It's 51#@28 and I'm drawing a honest 29". No stack,smooth and shooting 3 under no real pinch....neat bow!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

I buy the full length beman carbon shafts and dont cut them down to fit me.  I shoot a 58" Tomahawk and still have tendencies to shoot it like a blind monkey.  My recurves that are 64" are smooth as butter.  Just food for thought.
