Centaur Carbon Elite Length?

[WackEM64]

I'm new on here so sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question. I'm on the list to get a new Centaur Carbon Elite longbow but I haven't given Jim my details on the build yet. I haven't been shooting a trad bow but about 2 1/2 years so I'm hoping that someone on here that has shot one or has one can give me their honest opinion on the length I should get. I'm 5'9" and have a 28" draw and will be hunting from a tree stand 95% of the time. I'm trying to decide between the 62" or 60". Jim and a few others said the 60" inch would be good. I'm looking for the most forgiving and accurate length I can get because I need it haha. I have a 62" and a 60" recurve and really can't tell much difference just haven't shot many longbows. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 60-inch and a 62" both with the same specifications. Both are absolutely outstanding bows. When I go hunting in a treestand or thick cover, I almost always take the 60-inch just to be a bit more compact.

If I had to have only one of the bows, I would pick the 60-inch one.

Thank you. That's pretty much what I was hoping for someone that had both. I was leaning toward the 60" because Jim and a few others had requested it but I've heard a lot of people say get the longest longbow you can get and I haven't shot many so I just wanted to get as much info and advice before I drop that much coin. Thanks again!
I'm having a rough time navigating my way around this forum might be my age lol.

I had a 60", and now have a 58". Both are great, and I really couldn't tell a difference in smoothness of the draw cycle between the two. My DL is 28.5", and I got it to hunt the thick stuff, so I went shorter. No difference in accuracy either.

One upgrade I would recommend is Dark Matter in the riser. It adds a noticeable and welcome weight to the handle. The 60" had an all wood riser and was feather light. The 58" with Dark Matter feels great, and is much more stable at the shot.

Thank you. Yeah dark matter was on the list even if I don't get a take-down version. Both of my recurves have some weight to them and I always liked a heavy compound when I shot them. I guess it's looking like a 60" for me and that's what Jim recommended or even shorter. Now do I get snake skin or not 🤔. Thanks again for the help and advice!
