Also your not going to draw 29.5 inches. Cant the bow and shoot it right. You want to do a push pull technique. Known many many shooters to shoot 70 and above traditional. Larry Troutman who won 90 percent of tourneys around south use shoot all day an 85 pound recurve. Im 6' 2" and I pull 27 inches when i shoot a recurve. My first widow was 72 pounds and now I shoot 57 pounds. However with the advent of carbon I would feel confident to smoke Alabama Whitetails at 40 pounds.
