recurves do that "theoretical" 3 inch. 6 is 9, 5 is 8 stuff and they all pretty much do a good job at it.
One thing I havent seen mentioned here is which one's give what kind of downward force on the front end for controllability. It's something to consider and the manufacturers have the numbers.

Man, I went a couple of directions here. I'm also 6' with 32" inseam. I ended up with an LRS 9" Ultra Elite (Long Ride Shields). It's pretty good.
The website has directions on how to measure. Had the OL help and zeroed in on the 9". You might be able to do an 8".
Didn't catch this until after initial response, but there's an LRS discount code in the Rushmore forum that should get a really good price...

I have a 7" elite ultra shield from LRS on my '12 SG. I have a pretty short torso and it works well for me. I still get a touch of buffeting depending on the wind, on a still day almost nothing.
Good product at a good price and quick shipping to boot, I would order from LRS again.

Flat top shield by LRS.
This is a 8inch flat top
I went with 8inches for my wife. I believe a 6 inch would work fine for just me.
