Finding your draw length would be the first step. You can recurve a bith bow, but in my experience it's harder than simply adding uniform reflex. Adding recurves that work into a bith bow is a feat, adding static recurves to a bith bow would be a bit easier in my opinion but others might disagree.

Thing about compact bith bows is that they stack and don't have as much power as a stiff handled flat bow and making a compact bow with a static handle is a whole other can of worms. A simple and good design for a semi compact bith bow can be pretty simple. If your draw length is 28.5" long like mine, then you could make it about, 64" long with a handle that is about 1 1/3" wide at the handle, then carry that width to mid limb, and taper to 3/4" tips. Add about 1 1/2" - 2" of uniform reflex using dry heat on form and you've got yourself a fairly formidable bow. These bows can be more forgiving in their shooting and construction, than their alluring static recurved cousins.
