I'm having some trouble finding cheaper recurve bows with a 31"-33" draw length. there are tons of options for 29" or less like the Samick Sage. Probably could get the hang of it at 29" but want something more fitting to build some consistency. Any suggestions on places to look? Preferably under $200 since I'm new to traditional bows.

How tall are you?

Trad bows aren’t draw length specific. If you draw over 28” on one the listed draw weight will be higher. How much depends on the bow model. Your trad draw length is typically shorter than your compound draw length.

I'm about 6'4" but my arm span is about 6'8"-6'9"

Ok, I was figuring about the same draw length as my compound because I don't use a release and I have been reading that overdrawing a recurve can damage the limbs. Do you have a recommendation on a low-end brand that can handle a little overdraw?

And if the wieght goes up in overdraw, should I go ahead and look for something around 50lb instead of 60-65lb?

You can shoot any recurve that you want. As Shaw said they aren't draw length specific they are just typically rated at 28" of draw (like 50lbs @ 28") you will pick up + or - 3 lbs per inch after that. I am 6'3"-6'4" and I shoot 55lbs @ 28" so I am actually pulling about 60lbs. I would recommend starting at around 50lbs. I started with a Samick Sage when I got into traditional archery. Hard to beat for $150 and allows you to change limbs later on. Good Luck!

Awesome. Thanks for the info!

I would start with, at least, a 64 inch bow.

I agree the Sage is a great beginner bow. With your bow length, you may want to look for a longer bow to cut down on the finger pinch at full draw that can occur with shorter bows. My draw is 29 inches a I find bows that are 60 and 62 inches nice to shoot.

I’ve been doing some research and I think 64” may be the way to go for me too. Thanks fellas.

Im 6'3" with 31 inch compound draw and 27 in trad draw. Typically most well tillered bows add 2.5 to 3 inches pound draw per inch past listed draw length.

Good advice. If you end up with more than a 29" draw...you can get the Spyder XL takedown in 64".
You may find you have a lot shorter draw with a recurve.
Just don't get overbowed, get a poundage you can control starting out.

64 inch would be good for you. You can figure about 3 lbs per inch over the marked weight at 28.

I recommend you end up at 45lbs at your draw length.

You have lots of options if you went with a 19" or longer ILF riser and just use ILF limbs. Might work better for longer draws unless you find a good 64" bow..
