I chose 64" (but its really a toss up between 64" & 66") I only draw a bit over 28", but I like the feel of a longer bow.

Voted 64" but get advice from the bowyer as design plays a part.
shoot straight shoot often

Since the post title said r/d I'm gonna interpret that as classic r/d, not hybrid and say that 64"-66" is my favorite all around for a classic r/d.  Now hybrids are a different story and design is a big factor.  My favorite is of course my 56" Elkheart.  Otherwise I'd say 58-60" depending on the design does pretty good for my 29ish draw.
52" Texas Recurve
58" Two Tracks Ogemaw
60" Toelke Chinook
62" Tall Tines Stickflinger
64" Big Jim Mountain Monarch

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

My current goto bow is a 64" Sarrels Blueridge R/D longbow. The one before this one was a 62" and at the time I thought it could not get any better. The 64" is better to me.

62 " or 64"' depending on the bow/bowyer.  My Pronghorn 3-pc. And Leon Stewart 1-pc. Slammer Special are 62".  My WhippenStick 1-pc. Is 64".  Very happy about how they all perform for me.

I voted 62" based on a mild D/R bow.  With a more aggressive hybrid I generally like 58" for my 26" draw.

Nice guys. I think this is going to be fun to watch. Almost hit the 100 mark.

Keep the votes coming.

Thanks
