I'm 5'9" with a draw length of 30" since I have long arms. My favorite recurve length is 66". I basically hunt from the ground.

I am 6'4" draw 30" and prefer my 64" recurves and when I use a longbow it is a 70" Howard Hill

I am 5'10" with a 27" draw.  My go to ground bow is 46" RW Stalker recurve.  Great for getting through the tough...you just need to limit your distance..15-18 yds.

Whatever one I shoot the best, I am 5'11"s and unless the bow is over 64"s I have no problem with any of them. That said I do all my hunting with a 54" RER Arroyo, great bow! Shawn

60 through 64 is a pretty big spread.
I like a 64 but don't think a 60 would be for me.

I am 67" tall and shoot a 60" recurve.  I've never even drawn it in a treestand (ie all spot and stalk).

Also I draw somewhere at about 28".

From my knees I'd have to cant any bow longer than 40".  Anything longer doesn't really make a difference, though I bet it limits opportunities in a pop up ground blind...
Give me a bow a topo and two weeks, and I guarantee I kill two weeks!

I'm 5'7" with a 26.5" draw. I like a 60" recurve. I've not tried many bows shorter than that.

I'm 6'2" and prefer 62" recurve...I just received a 60" Shawnee that Bob built for me and I have to say she sure shoots good. I will be elk hunting with it in 10 days.

The idea of hunting from the ground seems quite novel to my American friends, whereas it is what us Aussies specialise in - all we know, really - for the most part with 60" to 62" recurves, with no troubles. Now, hunting from a tree is a novel idea to me, and plain freaks me out!

I'm a little under 5'9", getting closer to the earth, used to be a little over that. Draw is 28". Bow length - wish I knew!
I have a 60" recurve and a 66" LB coming in the mail...soon. Near as I can tell from posts here, it's about liking what you shoot and then making it work in the woods. We're talking 48"-70" bows (mostly), any one of which will probably be shot this season.
I think 2" either way won't be too noticeable.
Unless, the place you hunt with all that big sign around needs something specific....
