Most longbows and recurves will be 1" shorter in draw lengh than your compound draw length.
I have used several and prefer the longbow, as mentioned they are smother and much quieter, as the string doesn't "slap" on the limbs like a recurve. But both are much quieter than a compound.
50lbs-55lbs would be fine for your build and youthfulness. LOL
Get a little older and the draw weight might drop.
I get on some of the classifieds on the archery websites and see what you can find.
Going to the trad shoot would be good. Better to have hands on first before buying anything.
Oh, always use a bow stringer.
God Bless, David B.
