You know I've made several bendy unbacked Molly's bend half of there length,and a couple that draw an inch or two even past that with good results and not over stressing the wood...at 60" with sinew I'm sure you can take it to 30" no problem if tillered right....you shouldn't have to worry about it with your 24" snap draw/shot...I'd even keep the handle a lil more on the stiffer side
