I was pushed into a 70" setup. The string angle was tough on my nose. Later, I moved to 68" because "used limbs" and guess what? Better fit and better velocity.
I will assume you have about an 80% let off on your bow so you are only holding 12lbs on your fingers. Although you need strength to get over "the hump" I would not advise getting too high a recurve draw weight as holding the bow to aim will take more out of you and you could tire. Probably about 26-30lbs tops best bet is get a set of 28lbs ILF limbs and you can adjust them down or up 2lbs to suit. Just get an inexpensive set as you will probably build up to a higher weight.

Bow length is dictated by draw length
I am shooting 60 lbs on a compound bow, what draw weight would you suggest for a recurve,
