Most of the mass produced recurves seem to be designed for a 28" draw. If you have a 29" draw like me you might be disappointed. I have found them difficult to draw past 28" inches and often felt finger pinch. I would recommend going to an archery or primitive weapons rendezvous. I have found that there are usually several vendors that are plenty willing to let you try out their bows. You will probably find many custom and used bows of all types. I have several recurves but tend to use my longbows the most.
